Jesus, I Trust in You.

Why would God allow the hurricane to hit???

I THINK TO HIT OUR REFINERIES!!!! Because we are destroying our earth with all these AUTO EMISSIONS!!!

This reminds me of Mt Pinatubo. Believe it or not, if not for Mt, Pinatubo, the United States would still have two huge military bases weapons of war in the Philippines. But on those days when the US was seeking renewal of its 100 year BASES LEASE AGREEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINE CONGRESS, MT. PINATUBO WHICH WAS SILENT FOR 500 YEARS WAS ERUPTING LOUDER AND LOUDER. AS APPROVAL WAS ALMOST TO BE SURELY GOTTEN, PINATUBO WAS THROWING TRUCK SIZE RED HOT LAVA BOULDERS INTO THE AIR AND THE WARPLANES AT US CLARK AIR FORCE BASE AND NAVY SHIPS IN US SUBIC NAVAL BASE WERE ALL COVERED WITH THICK ASHES FROM THE VOLCANO. Man, the BRAVE, COURAGEOUS US COMMANDERS, ADMIRALS, GENERALS COLONELS, MAJORS, SOLDIERS, ----THEY ALL RAN AWAY!!!! You can check it at GOOGLE because American soldiers stationed at those bases are writing articles about their Pinatubo experience in the internet.

I BELIEVE GOD USED MT PINATUBO VOLCANO TO DISARM THE UNITED STATES SO THAT WHEN THE USSR WAS DISINTEGRATING, THE UNITED STATES WAS IN NO POSITION TO FIRE A SINGLE MISSILE. AS SUCH THE UNITED STATES CANNOT TAKE THE CREDIT FOR THE FALL OF RUSSIA!!!!! VIVA!!! VIVA!!!! OUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARY IN FATIMA!!!!!! TO THE ONE AND ONLY GOD, Father, Son, Holy Spirit NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Blessed are you TPJ.... for you see the signs of Christ's return.

I would direct your thoughts to the comments made by Archbishop Alfred Hughes of New Orleans at the first Mass celebrated yesterday in St. Louis Cathedral since Katrina. Archbishop Hughes said that God allows evil to happen so that good will come forth from it.

Like the good of delivering people from sin?
Exactly the point of my earlier post,brotherhrolf. Thanks for the note.

Faithful One: Yes of course! Exactly what I mean. That's why God destroyed New Orleans by hurricane four years after its founding in 1718. Governor Iberville wrote in his journal in 1722 words to the effect: The warehouses at Fort St. Louis (Bay St. Louis, MS) were full before the storm. They are now destroyed. Perhaps this is for the best because the major in charge of the warehouses will not have to give an accounting for the goods of the warehouse.

Then there was the fire of 1750 which destroyed three quarters of the fledgling city because the inhabitants had the temerity to defy God and build with wood. Then came the great fire in the 1780s which again chastised the city because they defied God and built with wood. But good did come from that......the Spanish enforced rigid building codes which prevented the city from ever burning down again.

Then came the cold winter of 1803 when the citizens of New Orleans had to dismantle the wooden palisade that protected the city. Oh, wicked New Orleanians. You can't imagine Andrew Jackson's chagrin when he found out that the city was totally unprotected in 1814 when he arrived to protect the city from the British. But the people of New Orleans prayed to Our Lady of Prompt Succor who delivered them from the British on January 8, 1815.

Things went fairly well for the next few decades until God decided to chastise the New Orleanians once again because they had grown prosperous through the import of African slaves who brought the evil voodoo to the city. God chastised them by sending massive amounts of Irish Catholics into the city, and since God was obviously on a roll of chastisement, He chastized the Irish by condemning them to dig the drainage canals which He intended to use more than a hundred years into the future. More than 5,000 of them died from yellow fever and malaria which also affected large numbers of people in the plague ridden city. Of course, by then, we all know that those evil French had imported "saucy" dancing which included women showing their bare ankles and flouncy underwear by then.

And then God caused a great war to errupt so that the virtuous triumphant people from the North could capture New Orleans and God could chastise the people around Baton Rouge and New Roads by having Catholic troops from Mass. and Illinois burn Catholic churches, rectories and precious sacramental records. Indeed God was good in His chastisement of our people.

And then came the year of 1878. God chastised New Orleans once again for having Mardi Gras and allowing debaucheries that had not been seen heretofore across the entire world! God sent the great yellow fever epidemic in which thousands of people were killed. But He relented and out of evil he gave us good.... Blessed Father Seelos who ministered to the sick and died of the plague himself.

Gosh, things must have calmed down after that. Oh, no I forget Storyville and its doxies and evil ragtime which gave way to jazz. Let us not forget that the saxaphone was an instrument of the devil. So God chastized New Orleans once again by causing a Great War in Europe which necessitated the calling up of armies, which necessitated the closing of Storyville..........

And then came the great flood of 1927 in which God flooded the Mississippi River Valley, all of south Louisiana, but spared New Orleans because the engineers blew up the levee below New Orleans and allowed the waters to flow into the Gulf.

I don't have an explanation for WWII but I am sure that some way, some how, it was New Orleans' fault.

Let's see, oh yeah, there was a hurricane that decimated the city in 1947, the eye passed over New Orleans. My parents said that it was because they had too much fun celebrating after WWII.

God missed his chance to nuke New Orleans in 1962 during the Cuban missle crisis. I can't explain why this didn't happen. God knows how scared I was at 11 with the duck and cover drills and buses sitting outside waiting to evacuate us because we were expected to survive the blast.

But God chastised us once again in 1965 with Betsy. Yes, I deserved it. I really did. I was 14 and I went to see the evil James Bond movie Goldfinger. So my great aunt's house went under water as did the 9th ward.

God chastised us and the folks on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1969 because we Americans landed men on the moon or perhaps it was because of the Viet Nam war, or perhaps it was because there were hippies in New Orleans. Don't know why that happened.

Faithful one, I wish I were Japanese and living in the Age of Bushido. My honor would compel me to committ seppuku to ameliorate the debt that we New Orleanians have caused to the people of these United States. For this, I give you my most humble apologies and ask that you give us your sublime guidance as to how we can stay the hand of God and quit causing such catastrophies against the United States and our world.

Ooops, forgot one thing. Those drainage canals dug by the Irish in the 1850's? They were among the ones that ruptured during Katrina.

Faithful One · #**144** Oct 3, '05, 5:26 pm

Ha, Ha,

You have a good handle on history, brotherhrolf. But you missed one thing. World War II was Hitler's fault.

lol

Well, according to some so-called Christians like Hank Erwin, it's because N.O. is so sinful, what with the Southern Decadence and all...
Like Arroyo said, God has bad aim. The French Quarter was unscathed.
So, please everyone, stop the stupid God was out to get the gays routine. It's not true at all. If that were the case, San Fransisco would be the new Atlantis.

If you understood your circumstance - you'd ask why did God allow the victims of the hurricane to live as long as they did. The question isn't Why do bad things happen to good people, it's Why do good things happen to bad people. God could wipe us all out and be completely justified - thank Him for your next breath.

In that case, *takes deep breath*

Thank you God.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
