Some of you are aware that Tony Campolo doesn't believe that God is omnipotent. One of the reasons he gives for God not being omnipotent is because he believes that it means that when things like hurricanes happen it would mean that God is sending them to punish people.

My question is what would give people like him that idea?
As far as I can tell, my understanding God being omnipotent doesn't mean that He sends things like hurricanes to punish people.
