However, beyond these speculations is a more general acknowledgement that New Orleans, the epicentre of the disaster, was a "sin city" which harboured few rivals. The New Orleans "southern decadence" festival which was to take place Labour Day weekend, is described by a French Quarter tourism site as "sort of like a gayer version of Mardi Gras" which is "most famous (or infamous) for the displays of naked flesh which characterize the event," with "public displays of sexuality . . . pretty much everywhere you look." Was Gulport a "sin city"? What about Long Beach, Ms.? Christian Pass?
This "God is punishing innocent people because gays like to party" stuff is a distortion of who God is. It's used as a weapon by a bunch of self-righteous Christians who are perfectly willing to paint God as some cruel ogre for their selfish ends.

You mean that bunch that dosen't look at each other as they sneak out of the liquor store and the local "red light" house, but by gosh they sure show up all puffed up and self righteous, every time the church doors open?

This "God is punishing innocent people because gays like to party" stuff is a distortion of who God is. I think God's attitude at this point is that none of us are innoncent.

It amazes me at the people here who profess to be Christians taking glee in the masses suffering and blaming it on God wiping out sin.
Ignorant to the bone.
