"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. Wednesday, he added, "there well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."


That comment is so profoundly funny on so many levels.

"if I heard the Lord right...." :D

Sounds like to me he's predicting hurricanes. I bet you he got that from the weather channel!!!!!! :D

Here's my prediction: I think this summer it will be hot. The fall will be cool. The winter will be cold and the spring showers will bring may flowers. I think I got the hang of this!!!!! :googly:

How how is Pat Robertson anyway?

Not defending Robertson but he did later issue an apology for his statements.

AFAIK this is an older "news" article. It only goes to show that the so-called fundamentalist view point can be problematic. Of course calling him or anyone "fundamentalist", when in fact they are extremist, is an attempt at altering people's perceptions.

I think it is human nature to want answers to life's most mystical questions. Everyone has to find their own path. I am Catholic (not so popular in today's society) and we're taught that the Bible is like a radio station. You pick it up and the words speak to you differently each day. Like radio waves going through your body daily. The same words on a different day can speak different things to you or guide you in different ways. We believe as sons/daughters of God, we can learn through prayer and listening to our God. I get SO frustrated with fundamentalists who take the words at face value with no help in understanding from God. Culture has changed dramatically from biblical times. What the Apostles wrote back then were in context to their own lives and knowledge. So different from ours. The words couldn't possibly be taken at face value. But the spiritual aspect in them is universal...I'm just realizing this subject is way out of my comprehension, so I'll just end it here!

I hope I haven't offended any of you. I would never intentionally hurt anyones feelings...

Just my two cents. Take it with a grain of salt!

Now just proclaim to the media that you think you heard <insert deity here> tell you this while you were brushing your teeth the other day and you'll be just like ol' Pat! Pass the collection plate, folks!!

He did issue an apology for his comments regarding Sharon. The latest stuff stems from comments he's made in the last two weeks according to the article in the link I posted.

One would think that when God speaks, it's crystal clear.
One would - and I believe you are correct in your thinking Bram. Unfortunately there are many who think they should interpret His word according to what they want to hear and their own personal wants.

It seems, generally, to be more based on whim.

I wasn't aware that God was on speaking terms with Mr Robertson.
If he were, I'm sure his message wouldn't be, "Bilk as many gullible, trusting souls as you can out of their savings and livlihood so you can live in an opulent palace while they live in hovels."

One of America's favourite attention whores/religious nuts weighs in again with God's supposed "to-do list" for 2007...

Pat Robertson Predicts 'Mass Killing'
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) -- In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide."

Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.


I love the fact that he's quoted as saying "Sometimes I miss." Uh...isn't your all-knowing, all-seeing god telling you this stuff, Pat? Please go DIAF, false prophet. :finger:

I would like to add Bin Laden to that sentiment, Ghostess, but it's almost a foregone conclusion he is probably already infested with them. :D
