		<description>Or a hair-trigger god always ready to sling thunderbolts or curses like most all of those on Mount Olympus.  Have you ever read the ORIGINAL Greek Myths?  

(The only two of &lt;i&gt;them&lt;/i&gt; I&#039;d ever want to deal with would be Athena/Minerva or Sylvanus. The former personified Wisdom and always seemed to act the most &quot;grown-up&quot; of them all; the latter was a minor Roman deity of civilized and tamed nature whose reputation was free from the usual sleaziness of that pantheon.)</description>

		<description>In my old D&amp;D group, that was referred to as &quot;The Purple Thumb of God&quot;.  As in &quot;You&#039;re scared to do anything because if you do, The Purple Thumb of God (TM) will come down on you.&quot;

(In early-period D&amp;D, Dungeonmasters were often nicknamed &quot;God&quot; because they created the background campaign universe the players entered and were in control of the &quot;reality &quot;of the game.  Actually a pretty good argument for monotheism, as I have seen what happens when multiple game masters get at loggerheads.  And for God&#039;s benevolence, as I have also seen what happens when a game master becomes actively malevolent towards his players.)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;...the details of Katrina and where most of the devastation occurred (i.e. the seminary, not the French Qtr.)…&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s because the Quarter (the original site of the city) is on some of the highest ground in the city and the Ninth Ward on some of the lowest.  The higher you are, the more likely you are to be dry when the levees breach and the less likely you are to get hit by storm surge.</description>

		<description>&quot;He points to an unusual weather phenomenon coinciding in both time and place with an apostate church action and speculates on it, in a pretty mild manner.&quot;

This was NOT an unusual weather phenomenon for the midwest US this time of year. It&#039;s the NORMAL weather.</description>
