There have been slides in places like Indonesia for hundreds of millions of years as it like most of Asian rim sits on the boundaries of tectonic plates on what is called "The ring of fire."
The only bad thing that has happened is rather stupid people have been building cities on top of these faults.
Those cities include Padang in Indonesia but include Los Angeles, San Franscico, Toyko etc etc etc.
Believe in God if you will but don't blame him he gets a bad rap, the dumb ones are called humman beings!
