If you don’t mind a little theology here, scripture is full of examples of good folks getting hurt when the culture around them exasperates Jehovah. Sodom & Gomorrah (sodomy and general wickedness), all those Canaanite cities (idolatry), the cities in Judah and Israel (who chose Baal worship and child sacrifice over the faith of Abraham).
Our culture harbors and even promotes idolatry, homosexuality, and the sacrifice of our children at the altar of our own self-indulgence. How could He be pleased with us?
I knew about the Southern Decadence cancellation due to Katrina, not about the others. What will it take to get their attention?
I’d make plans to be out of town that weekend, storm or no storm.
God accepts collateral damage as a necessary evil? Seems like Hizonner needs target practice.
