Hank Erwin, R-Montevallo. New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast have always been known for gambling, sin and wickedness," Erwin wrote this week in a column he distributes to news outlets. "It is the kind of behavior that ultimately brings the judgment of God." "Warnings year after year by godly evangelists and preachers went unheeded. So why were we surprised when finally the hand of judgment fell?" Erwin wrote. "Sadly, innocents suffered along with the guilty. Sin always brings suffering to good people as well as the bad." <a href="http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/112790008991370.xml&coll=2" target="_blank">http://www.al.com/news/birming hamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/112790008991370.xml&coll=2</a>

It remains a toss up in my mind which is the most depressing, garish and self-centered capital of America - New Orleans or Las Vegas. I had hoped maybe they could rebuild New Orleans into a slightly less depraved sort of place.

Originally Posted By thenurmis It is sadly one of those stories , where I don't know if i should laugh, or cry...I think it's best to just laugh and shake my head, then hope that the people who voted in this dim-wit, have the brains to remember the story come election day.

Originally Posted By mnsharp This guy is a looney toon. Does God also say in the bible that if there is one good person in the city, He will spare it? I'm sure there was at least one good person in NO. Let's believe the scientists that say that they can't prove evolution, but it's a proven fact. Oh, and just to help prove their unproven theory more, they alter hip bones of monkeys to make them stand straight.
