What Does It Mean To Be Christian In America? First of a series.

Numerous of these pastoral agitators have stepped to the plate - ignoring the suffering - and exploiting the tragedy for ideological desires. Use a search engine and plug in "Katrina God's punishment" and your hits will be in the tens of thousands. One example:
