This is the kind of mumbo-jumbo that turns people against Christianity. How can a representative of a religion so bastardize the Christian faith? I don't care if or how a person believes, this is flat criminal, utterly cruel and totally insensitive.
CAUTION: Sadly, tragedies like Haiti attract a lot of fund-raising spammers. Be cautious who you donate your money.
Have I ever mentioned how much I detest Pat Robertson? He's long outlived his usefulness (by about 70 years) and it's time for him to follow Jerry Falwell straight to the great unknown.
ReplyDeleteHis son is taking over. These people are such monsters. I still can't get over this moron's absolute cruelty about something so God-awful.
ReplyDeleteBee,
ReplyDeleteOutlived his usefulness for about 70 years. Huzzah !!!
Whoever came up with the voodoo analogy may have been trying to explain away a slave army defeating an imperial european army convincingly.
Frodo truly believes that the good die young. Given that as a truism, Robertson will be here to greet the Rapture.
ReplyDeleteHe'll be selling tickets.
if god is responsible for haiti (as pat robertson states) then god should be arrested, sent to gitmo and waterboarded or sent to the Hague and tried for crimes against humanity.
ReplyDeleteHi, I followed you from sue's.
this is typical religious fanatical insanity. People listen to this quackery?? Just die why don't you old man...
ReplyDeletePat Robertson is right. Those Haitian heathens don't need food or money or "help." We need to send them planeloads of Bibles so they can get out from under the Devil's thumb and come home to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteOso, Frodo, Susanna and Sue: Thank you for your comments - some very witty and we can use a little humor right now.
ReplyDeleteMr. Harper, I "pray" you're being tongue-in-cheek.
I guarantee you "Mr. Harper" is being tongue in cheek, unlike Pat Robertson who is deadly serious. I would like to know how the Rev. Pat knows about a conversation that Haiti had with the devil?
ReplyDeleteGod spoke to him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that familiar with Mr. Harper - I must have read it about five times wondering "is this guy for real?" Thanks Holte for helping to put my feeble brain where it should be and thanks Tom for commenting. Don't let my stupidity deter you from visiting agaim.
I think Pat is partially right. I have read up on the Haiti history and sadly it is like Sodom and Gomorah in the bible. We have misionaries over there being used by God to bring these people to Christ. Some to most of these people have denied Jesus Christ and are paying the penalty of their desicion. Those who are saved are bathing in the Glory of God's Kingdom. We, as a people, are trying to be respectful and moral. It is great that we are helping them, but I feel we should all pray for the nation. Pat may have offended some christians but the truth hurts. God needs to make things happen for his Coming again.
ReplyDeleteI cringe when I hear Robertson, or other Christian leaders, say such things. As a strong Christian myself I can tell you I have nothing but compassion for the people of Haiti. The earthquake in Haiti is no more God’s punishment than was hurricane Katrina; just a random act of nature ( no ones fault)which calls for us to help our neighbors. I worked in Biloxi and New Orleans to help the people in need there, holding their hands and praying with them as much as rebuilding homes, to let them know they’re not alone and abandoned. I'll be there in Haiti as well as soon am I'm permitted to go there.
ReplyDeleteT-man: Normally I delete, but I think your comment serves as a good example of why I have been moving away from the so-called Christian faith over the years. Comments like yours and those of Robertson have provided the final nudge over the precipice.
ReplyDeleteThat's Life: I think it's admirable that you're going to Haiti - and I'm sure the survivors and wounded need comforting and help with clean-up, rebuilding and help in getting food and water in.

ReplyDeleteT-man - I am deleting you because you haven't followed the rules of the road. See above.
ReplyDeleteI also highly resent anyone throwing their religion in my face. My God is full of love and forgiveness and doesn't believe in the cruelty you and your ilk push as the "word of God." Please do not come back.
This reminds me of when the Loma Prieta quake hit San Francisco a few years ago. The religio-haters predictably said it was because San Francisco has such a concentration of gays.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out that no gay bars were damaged in the quake -- but several churches were.
The Goddists must have had a tough time figuring out exactly what message their big angry sky daddy was trying to send with that one.....

ReplyDeleteThank you, Infidel - as always. It amazes me that these Bible-thumpers can't read English.
ReplyDeleteI was sitting at the Denver Press Club watching the ball game that had just begun when the quake started. These Goddests will come up with anything to spread their voodoo.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't it say in the bible that man can not or will not know the will of God.How very aggorant of Pat! I'm pretty sure pride goes before a fall. If there is a hell I may sign up just to see his face when he gets there!
