badstar(or anyone else with an informed opinion)
This is (obviously I think) not my original thought, but it makes sense based on what I know. What do you think? (The hurricane, in this context is just a random example, this isn't debating a particular occurence)
If you believe Jesus is our savior, a hurricane can't be interpretted as punishment by God. By doing so you denounce Christ as our Savior.

Father, Son, Holy Ghost != mutually exclusive

Making a parallel like this- between God the Father's actions, and the salvation offered through Christ the Son- is a definite non sequitur fallacy.
Whoever wrote that statement doesn't seem to have much of an understanding of the Holy Trinity and how it works; they can (and do) work (semi-)independently of one another in a number of ways, that's why they're identified separately in the first place.
