- Go to New Orleans A Modern Sodom?
Very little is 'proven' in the Bible, CB_Andrews. Most of the Bible
relies on faith for believability, not empirical or clinical or factual evidence. Regardless, the morons who espouse the 'collateral damage' idea of good people getting hurt because of what bad people do, well, duh -- such a simplistic viewpoint works man against man situations, but fails horribly in explaining man against nature. An omniscient, omnipotent god who can't control collateral damage? A contradiction in terms.

churches and such...
Well, it is true that God sometimes allows things to happen...allows Satan to tempt and test...which is proven in the Bible...but to say that the huuricanes are the begining of the end, and good people were simply in the way is a stretch...i agree.

There's a ridiculous amount of churches in every town in America,
food4thought. Those that go the Sodom route in explaining New Orleans' devastation say that unfortunately good people inevitably get swept up with god's vengeance on the bad. Bass ackward Christian logic.

Simply...
Too many people in an area that's vulnerable to the ravages of nature. And aren't there an awful lot of churches in the Big Easy?
