> God got a 2fer with Katrina. New Orleans (sin city) and the Casino Coast of Mississippi(Las Vegas of the south).

Agreed that homosexual practice is a sin, but:

Luke 18
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

14 "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

I sure hope you're NOT insinuating that from my previous post that I'm elevating myself as "self rightious" and "looking down" on others.
