Stormy Weather

Union University in Jackson, Tenn., a very conservative school, was flattened in the recent cluster of tornados that hit the South. While I sympathize with the loss it brings to mind recent comments of Rev. John Hagee (who has said even worse things than Obama's Rev. Wright, yet still embraced by the McCain campaign). Hagee said that Katrina was God's vengeance on gays. That comment prompted a YouTube video (reached through this link) promoting Hagee as McCain's nominee to head the National Weather Service -- he could identify events that could prompt God's displeasure, allow the State Security Apparatus to clean it up, and thus prevent weather-related disasters. Yet a conservative Christian school was flattened. Did God miss his intended target?
