Religious Right say tsunami was to punish Muslims. What's Katrina's story?
To help the environment with more than $70/barrel for oil thus reducing consumption???

Interested in hearing their spin on this, phucquing hypocrites. 25% of our domestic oil comes from that region, oil prices could skyrocket Monday.

Let's hope everyone escapes the devastation.

2. Exactly...this is along the same lines as...
the U.S. being punished (with 9/11) for being a secular society. How do they explain these things not happening to Canada, in that case? Phucquing morons!!!

4. Catholics.
Parishes instead of counties? Please. Obviously God is offended by that.

Or it could be those bare breasts at Mardi Gras.

7. To punish them for banning gay marriage. Remember their last hurricane?
Gawd sent TWO hurricanes and flooded their polling places on the day they were supposed to vote on their amendment.

Massachusets was punished by winning The World Series and The Superbowl!

8. Punishment for eating shellfish
It's right there in Leviticus, not too far from the passages about stoning sinners and disobedient children.

9. N.O. is a city of libertines, blatant sexuality
why, they dance in the streets nearly naked at Mardi Gras, and those women! They expose their breasts!
Lucky the city isn't turned into a pillar of salt!

16. Uh....
the Muslims in New Orleans?

The whole God punishment theme is just so ... well, primative. I just don't think it works that way.

17. Yeah - funny how right after Pat Robertson called for the murder of
a populist, democratic leader who is interested in changing the lives of the poor - Katrina heads from the Caribbean to Red States.
