I'm not entirely sold on the idea. The fellow I linked to seemed to have some valid theological points; I do realize it is not always possible or even desirable to interpret God's will. I sometimes wonder how much interpretation is subjective (i.e. what we want to believe).

I sometimes wonder how much interpretation is subjective (i.e. what we want to believe). In my experience, people who believe in religion can construct whatever they want to around a given set of facts. They'll even alter the facts if necessary to arrive at the preconceived result.
Other than corrupt politics, I'm not aware of any gross immorality committed by the people of the Gulf Coast prior to Hurricane Katrina. If fierce storms are some sort of divine punishment, then shouldn't it have hit Massachusetts?
