Pat Robertson inserts foot again

Why am I not surprised?

Cut for rant...


This man is the sort of person that non-believers can point to when they want to give Christianity a bad name. I cannot believe that he goes on year after year, opening mouth and inserting foot.

It's not the first time he has hinted that he thinks natural disasters are a judgement of some sort. His statement is not only an insult to the people in that town, but also an insult to people of other places who have just recently suffered disasters. I guess he thinks the Gulf Coast deserved to be hit by Hurricane Katrina because we had casinos; and he's been itching for a disaster to hit South Florida because he thinks them insufficiently prejudiced against gays, so he must have really gloated over Hurricane Wilma. I wonder what kind of horrible sin he thinks caused the tornadoes in Kentucky and Ohio?

And it's a real insult to those of us who happen to believe in these words: "Judge not lest ye be judged."

I suppose I shouldn't be judging him. Perhaps he just needs medical help.

It is a very dangerous thing to say these things that he states. First of all I believe that Man are born with an inherited sin (sorry for weird english here) which means that when Adam and Eve ate that apple they changed the world forever and thus made all people born after them inherit this state of sin. We have a responsibility to use the earth to the best and when generations after generations misuse it and destroy it, things that shouldn¨t happen (like hurricanes) happen. It is not the fault of those who live in the country or because they are gay or have casinos. It is the whole race of Men who are responsible for how we treat the earth and use it. He is far of his field saying something like that. It is rude and disrespectful and I don't know what.
