The above vid was interesting. I never really thought of people believing the reason for natural disasters was because they were punishments from God, however, I suppose I could see where they are coming from on that. It was interesting to hear of a spiritual/religious view on Katrina and such... very insightful :)
When something goes bad or wrong the first thing most people do is question God, "Why is this happening to us, What did we do to deserve this?". While others, like religious leaders are quick to say it is all the sins you have committed, God is punishing you.
Interesting..I can say that I do NOT like what Pastor John Hagee has to say, people like that really get my blood pumping. But I know, freedom of speech, I just disagree with what he has to say.
