It takes the SUPREMEST form arrogance to presume to speak for the Almighty. Robertson has NO IDEA what God is thinking, so he should really just shut his trap and pray for the victims.

The Book of Job and Crucifixion of Christ show perfectly that tragedy can strike the Holiest among us. True Christians do not presume that tragedy necessarily comes from sin. Satan and his minions often attack believers with more vigor than nonbelievers.

Pat seemed to be repeating a story from 1779 when certain Haitians made a pact with the devil to overthrow the French. It happened and now Haiti is damned for the pact with the devil. (Not my story--Pat's).

I believe a group of people can be cursed. I think America may now or in the near future be cursed for killing unborn babies. At the very least, we may have no protection from God because of the murders.

I take it you are not a Christian and do not believe in the Bible as being the authoritative Word of God. People thought the same thing of Jeremiah the prophet when he preached and warned of the impending doom upon Israel because they had estranged themselves from God and His precepts. All this Pat Robertson bashing is baffling to me. I was saved in 1984 through a ministry called Teen Challenge founded in 1958 by pastor David Wilkerson. If you think that Pat Robertson's words are arrogant, you would be completely apoplectic if you read some of David Wilkerson's books and newsletters. Was Jeremiah "arrogant" when he DID SPEAK for the ALMIGHTY? You seem to use the Holy Scripture only when it fits your preconceived ideas and philosphies. Yes, you are correct in saying that tragedy can strike the Holiest among us, but God does judge the unholy also. Remember Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal. Haiti is a nation that dominated by witchcraft, voodoo and all forms of Satanic worship. I don't believe that Robertson is being far-fetched in his assessment of God's judgement upon Haiti. SnakeDoc
