Gays Caused Hurricane Katrina?

Okay, raise your hand if you’re surprised by this:
“Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city.” Marcavage said. “From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence’, New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same.”
“Let us pray for those ravaged by this disaster. However, we must not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long,” Marcavage said.
Marcavage is the director of an organization called Repent America. I am totally unsurprised by this suggestion. We’ve been accused of causing the tsunami, and of causing 9/11. I can only think that this suggestion about Katrina is a smidgen more realistic - if you believe in God, and believe that he/she punishes hedonism, then New Orleans is a helluva lot more appropriate target than the other two suggestions. I wonder if the same argument would appear if San Francisco were leveled by a dramatic earthquake.
