Pat Robertson is at it again.
The outspoken evangelical who consistently links natural disasters with religion blames the devil for the earthquake, and apparently the fault line, that resides beneath the tiny Caribbean island.
"You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free, Robertson said. "But ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other."
Obviously the only answer that would make any kind of sense would be to equate this natural disaster with the Christian God.
Sorry Pat, I just don't see it this way.
Did you know scientists have been warning Caribbean nations about this for years stating that a fault zone on the south side of the island posed "a major seismic hazard." Well, it's known as the the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
For once can we have a natural disaster without bringing God into it.
Remember when Pat Robertson said Katrina was a punishment from God on the people of New Orleans? You know what I think? I think New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen seeing as it resides below sea level south of a giant lake and north of a giant ocean.
Pull your head out Pat.
As a Christian, I believe the ultimate natural disaster will come when God wants it to, and, we'll know it's from God! As for right now, please try to understand that there will be quakes, tornadoes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis and more because they occur naturally on Earth.
Furthermore, doesn't Pat Robertson know that Haiti is almost an entirely Christian nation?
I still can't believe that people like this in the US get a public forum to speak on. And that others listen and agree. And Kurt I agree with almost everything you say here.

ReplyDeleteOh I am blaming the people who watch it that is what it keeps it on the air. It could be on with no one watching it.
