New Orleans was so corrupt it was wiped clean by the hand of God almighty....
But they are determined to rebuild the cesspool as fast as possible.
St. Bernard Parish is not New Orleans.
Employing your logic, would the F-5 tornado that wiped out Greensburg Kanas (two years ago) also be considered to have come from the hand of God...?
I’m not sure what Greensburg Kansas’s level of corruption and sin was to have set God’s mind to wiping it out.
It certainly would have to been equal to New Orleans for God to act in such a manner - right?
I reject that assumption. God doesn’t miss when he wants to wipe something clean- and the French Quarter( Sin Central) escaped destruction. While the residential areas of N.O. were 10 feet deep, the bars and perverts in the Quarter were fine.
As a native, I make no apologies for saying that rebuilding ANYTHING here after Katrina is stupid. The N.O. area- and points south- are geographically doomed. One more big hurricane and the debate is over- it’s ALL permanent wetlands.
The point of my post was to show the WASTE of millions. If politics won’t allow the powers that be to say- outright- that the place is not worth defending, then at least get the most for the money you’re spending. If the Corps sees nothing wrong with the quality of this floodwall, can the rest of the country trust them to build effective flood protection elsewhere? Where is the culpability for shoddy work?
I don’t understand why you would blame God for the errors made by humans. New Orleans was/is made up of a lot of different people, just like any city - some good, some bad. I’m from there originally, and the people I know were/are good, hard-working, faith-filled people. All the good people I know got flooded, but the French Quarter stayed nice and dry. If God was trying to destroy a sinful, corrupt people, that would mean His aim was off, and I didn’t think He made mistakes!
