Why God Destroyed New Orleans
Mom --
Self serving BS and misinformation like the Anne Graham quote you forwarded to me [and to many others] is why I don't watch mainstream media any more.
Katrina devastating New Orleans and the associated loss of life had absolutely no link what so ever with the issues around the separation of Church and State.
The more likely answer is that God was simply punishing the idiots who live in New Orleans for building a city in a stupid place. The present location of the city should have been abandoned after the 1909 & 1915 hurricanes. Assuming that the city keeps getting rebuilt in the same stupid location, God will keep destroying it by hurricanes about once every hundred years.
The blessing and protection that God gives us is that the universe obeys the laws of physics. Those who ignore them/him suffer. Ce la vie, ce la mort.
No amount of prayer in schools or government sanctioning of a specific religion will over time save the present location of New Orleans from hurricane flooding. However, prayer in schools and/or government sanctioning of a specific religion will over time lead to repression of basic human freedoms.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her"How could God let something like this Happen?" (regarding Katrina)Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.She said,"I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are,but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.And being the gentleman He is,I believe He has calmly backed out.How can we expect God to give us His blessingand His protection if we demandHe leave us alone?"
