This is why I do not see how the drought is discipline or judgement directed at the Church. It is not targeted at it specifically.

I'd still be interested to hear how you came to the opinion that it is, but at this point I doubt you will oblige.

Whatever the reason, if it is a done deal we should be taking water conservation and flood control measures in areas effected. The taxpayers should not be required to pay for federal flood insurance where "50 year floods" are happening every two or three years.

Traditional historical water rights are crazy. Growing rice and green golf courses in the desert?
