Didn't God also say that he wouldn't make those kind of disasters again? I seem to recall a story in which God personally creates a huge disaster and then afterward ends up saying "Hm, maybe I should seek anger management..." and promises never to personally cause them again.

Of course, there's a lot of loopholes later, with devastating blessed items and cataclysmic irony to those who don't listen to the prophets. I'm pretty sure he never really started the whole 'angry god' business ever again though.
