Is Hurricane Gustav God's way of punishing New Orleans for Mardi Gras?

Answer 1

you sad person.

Answer 2

No , I think God is saying "Hey dummies move your city or Im going to blow it off the map.

Answer 3

nope......sea level is sea level for a reason, and N O averages 13' BELOW sea level.......poor civic planning at work

Answer 4

No, otherwise the hurricane would be in February or March..

Answer 6

There's no way to know.  God is a God of love and mercy but we forget He is also a God of vengeance.  His thoughts and ways are far above ours...all I know is God is all sovereign.

Answer 7

it's Armageddon ....run

Honestly , I'm a christian , even I don't believe that . This is not old testament anger . It's geography

Answer 8

No. God's not against Mardi Gras, He's against the people polluting the environment

Answer 9

i dnt think so...if it were, hollywood or las vegas or the middle east would be punished b4 new orleans

Answer 10

I don't believe God would waste his time with trivial things like Mardi Gras or Gustav. He has a entire universe to take care of. I'm sure he'll get to me when he's through with everything else.

Answer 11

For the umpteenth time: No.  

Answer 12

No, it is a North-Atlantic Hurricane season

And low barometric pressure

It was happening since the weather exists on earth, WAYYY before humans established Mardi Gras

Answer 13

Of course not.

Answer 14

No.  Hurricane Gustav is nature's way of punishing the city planners for continuing to build in the path of hurricanes.

Answer 15

i recently read about several churches full of people FLATTENED by tornadoes and hurricanes

Answer 16

Mardi Gras is actually a blessing from God.

Answer 17

Yes..  Just like how Westboro Baptist church is there to show the world how stupid Christians really are.

Answer 18

It's nature way of keeping the Earth in balance.

Natural disasters are necessarily for maintenance of climate and thus essential for the survival of all life on Earth.

Sydney is the biggest g*y city... yet it is free of hurricanes...

Your logic is flawed.

Answer 19

No.  But one BBC announcer is punishing my ears by persistently pronouncing it "Goose-staff"

The tower of Siloam didn't even hit any particularly sinful people, according to Jesus.  

It just happened?  That's interesting.
