Mr. Hopkins,
In respect to this letter, you should be ashamed of yourself as a Christian, as well as a human being. Christianity teaches a doctrine of love and care for your brothers and sisters, regardless of their race,gender,sexual preference, etc. We as human beings are bound in a sense of compassion when such a tragedy strikes a place, and that sense is what is fastly becoming the gap between humans and Christians.
I'm not going to spend hours lambasting your beliefs, nor am I going to berate you for them, but there is something that needs to be adjusted in your doctrine. In your religion, your views of evil are simple:evil is and evil does. Also in your religion, it is a common law that Christ guides his "soldiers" to save the so called sinners. Your God doesn't punish, rather it embraces the flaws of man and shows a sense of understanding. So in this sense, your point of God bringing this horrible storm to our coast is illogical.
Knowing this as a former Christian, people like you are making me glad that I broke away from the corruption and the hate motivated teachings of such a controling institution of "faith".
Take a grim reappraisal of your beliefs. What you said is sick and unjust to the people who lost their livelyhoods in New Orleans.
If there is a hell, I'll see you there.
Signed
Edward G Rochelle
