JD:  Your friend got it wrong.  The real reason for Katrina is that
President Bush has refused to sign the Kyoto treaty thus increasing
global warming.  

        You should also be aware that Katrina hit just two days before
New Orleans' scheduled Decadence Day parade which celebrates
sodomy and homosexuality and transgenderism and transexualism
and so on.  The parade was held anyway.  They just walked through
the water and thumbed their noses at God.

        If you would like to look at pictures of the destruction, go to
WWLTV.com.

        I think God had a fourfold reason for Katrina.  In regard to
some people, He was taking them home.  In regard to others, He
was sending them to their just punishment.  In regard to some, He
was providing a circumstance that will lead them to His word and
to regeneration and salvation.  In regard to the last group, He was
hardening their souls in rebellion against Him.
