The people whom think that 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, or thank god for dead soldiers because there are gays in the US, are acts of God are very unstable individuals. They have gone past sanity and slipped into a delusional state of mind.

Not many, and there is no basis to support the saying or believing such statement.
The One True God ordains His unchanged Plan and Laws to rule His world of creation and world of revelation in a continuous process from eternity to eternity, He does not have to interfere into human affairs with such trivial events. All His laws are perfectly recorded in the Holy Books for millennia in advance for humanity to observe.
True religious people would have to learn conducting their lives happily, beautifully, gloriously based on the divine teachings, and not on the events. Each man among mankind observes the events differently and reacts differently on them.

I find most people attribute to God what THEY would do if THEY were God.
So these people who say things like "Katrina was God's punishment for New Orlean's sins" or "AIDS is God's punishment for Gay people" are actually saying "If I were God, I'd punish people, and this is one way I might do it!"
The Sinner and the Saint both die, both suffer in famines, both suffer in floods. To say God sends catastrophes into one's life more often than the other is to ignore the statistics of the matter.

God did not do those things to punish people. it's allot of crape that so call Christians want to say. because they have no one else to blame. A Christian would never turn there back on God and say things like that. and a non Christian wouldn't blame him because they don't believe in him. God Bless!

If you believe in an omnipotent god, either all the bad stuff in the world happens because he's the most sadistic bastard ever, or you have to make up reasons that the bad things are actually good things.

Nothing is done without HIS agreement; read the book of Job.
God agreed to take place a lot of bad things...human beings react better after such events...we are strange because sin transformed us. May HIS Love help us repent and live as we have to.

Because their "God" didn't do the right thing and stop 9/11 and Katrina.

Because they have been misinformed or are making assumptions. It seems more likely that the weather problems are caused by all the explosions - in which case, it's not that far off. Maybe the weather is consequence and punishment for doing harm to others.
Peace!

God's an easy way explain away the unknown "Oh, it's not this, it's God and Satan and that's all." Learn the "truth" on your own, there is no god, there is an afterlife, there are no angels but you will be blessed. Have a nice day :)

Those are few and far between and I have heard that God did the Holacaust to punish Jews for sin too. Let it go in one ear and blow out the other
