It's not the first time G-d took down a city for the sin within it.
I see no need to spend my money to rebuild what G-d decided to destroy. He's the boss of me, right?
Just out of curiosity, were the houses in Oklahoma destroyed by wildfires a couple months ago taken down because of the sin within them?
Shall we conclude that Slidell, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, and Biloxi were also "taken down" for the "sin within"?
Seems not to have been nearly as thorough a job as back in the old days of Sodom etc. Very few sinners actually died.
Also, no need to spend money to make well those who the A******y decided to sicken. No need to hostpitalize the injured, feed the starving, or, for that matter, punish the criminals.
Oh, I get it. You're joking, right?
The thing is He didn't destroy the French Quarter and Bourbon Street, you know where all the sinful activities happen. I find it ironic though that He did destroy a bunch of Baptist Churches and greatly damaged the seminary. The strippers were ready to go back to work as soon as they saw all those military guys.
If God had smited the city He would have included Bourbon Street. It's still standing and in business.
