Is God punishing us by sending Hurricane Gustav to the Golf coast?

Question

Do you see this as a sign that God is punishing our nation for not listening to his Word and accepting him into our lives.

Answer 1

Not God, mother-nature.

Answer 2

No,No,No,No, hurricanes are a natural and necessary part of the planet's weather patterns. They have a real purpose to stabilize atmospheric conditions. Only in man's mind and ego does anyone consider it a "punishment". Hurricanes have been in the Atlantic and Gulf long before people have. I wish people could look beyond their egos long enough to see the big picture. So called natural disasters have a necessary purpose required to maintain the dynamics that support life on this planet. It's not always about the people, you know

Answer 3

Thats jsut crazy talk, the bible says the sun shines on both the righteous and the wicked. Judgement day will sort them out

Answer 4

If that's the case, why do so many believers suffer? Couldn't god be a bit more focused with his/her/its punishment (he/she/it is supposed to be supremely powerful after all). What you're suggesting is similar to blowing up a town full of innocent Iraqis in order to take out a handful of insurgents. Isn't god supposed to be above such things, or do you really believe he/she/it is so shallow and vain? In which case, why do you worship him/her/it?

Answer 5

Sure why not,,but i dont think so

Answer 6

Shouldn't this question be in the delusional section. Get an education you will know why.  

Answer 7

Yes, God wants to deliver punishment unto the idiots who decided to take up residence in that soup bowl after Katrina.  I say let God kill 'em all and... well, then sort them out!

Answer 8

God is a loving God that does not "punish".   Hurricanes have always been around

Answer 9

punishment from mother nature for not listenin to environmentalists .

if u don agree with me watch "an inconvenient truth" by al gore.
