Hurricane Katrina Stirs Up Controversy

[rack'm]

Christianity and controversy are inseparable. The latest stems from comments made by a fundamentalist group, Repent America, regarding Hurricane Katrina. Repent America's director, Michael Marcavage claims the hurricane was an "act of God" bringing judgment upon the "wicked city" of New Orleans, hitting just days before the huge Southern Decadence, annual gay celebration.

That's why the city flooded, all the dikes left.

I linked to a similar article in the "Just to Stir the Soup" thread. The quote I posted there from About is a great response to people like Michael Marcavage. It seems like every religion has extremists who see others' misfortune as an opportunity to pass judgment.

Imagine "The Godfather" with an all-gay cast: "I'm Moe Greene! I redecorated my first living room when you were going out with quarterbacks!"

It's mother nature that's all. Nothing else. No one is being punished.
