Alabama State Sen. Hank Erwin, R-Montevallo

An Alabama state senator says the reason why the Gulf Coast is suffering from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita is because God is judging Americans in that region for sinful behavior.

"New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast have always been known for gambling, sin and wickedness," wrote Sen. Hank Erwin, R-Montevallo, in a column, according to the Birmingham News. "It is the kind of behavior that ultimately brings the judgment of God."

Erwin said he was awed, but not surprised after surveying the damage to hard-hit regions including Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss., and the fishing town of Bayou La Batre on the Alabama coast.

"Warnings year after year by godly evangelists and preachers went unheeded. So why were we surprised when finally the hand of judgment fell?" he wrote. "Sadly, innocents suffered along with the guilty. Sin always brings suffering to good people as well as the bad."

1. Gee, an "R". Maybe it's the actions of his lot that brought God down?
I don't know. It's not up for me to second-guess God. Pity these bozos do. And they should then read their Bibles more often.

2. Using his logic, God was more angry at conservative Christians
Waveland, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Slidell and Pearlington had no casinos, and were the hardest hit areas of the storm.

And the casino hotels along the beach in Mississippi held up to the storm. Most of the churches were wiped out.
