Acts of war and acts of God are not the same. Speaking of God, He created hurricanes didn't He? Isn't it He who brings this death and destruction? If you want to point fingers at heartlessness, why don't you take it up with Him? He moves wind and rain, not I.

The God you believe in seems to be as cruel as you are. He creates human beings, then purposely sends hurricanes to kill them and bring them misery.

Then, with people like you around, they are left on their own, to fend for themselves.

Well, buddy, that's not the God of Christians, or Jews, or any other religion that I know of. And believers in God see everyone as children of God, and worthy of lifting up when they need it.

Defining the response of this great nation, full of believers, in terms of the Constitution only is unthinkable.

Your problem seems to be a bit of a withered heart, a minimalist attitude toward those in need. Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of Americans are willing to open their wallets, and the treasure of the nation, to respond to those suffering from catastrophic events.

If we don't do this, what good is any of the rest of what we do?

In the long run it's all probably meaningless, but people might as well do what they are going to do.
