What I found interesting in the article is the juxtaposition of two Christian leaders who quite clearly view God in fundamentally different ways. Kelley's faith is in a benevolent God and that it was God's mercy that lessened the impact of the hurricane. Shanks' faith rests in a wrathful God that produced the hurricane to punish the sinners. Both men see God's hand at work, but their belief in God's intent could not be more opposed.
To echo Pan, "he who is without sin, can cast the first stone."
