I am a devout Christian. I think a Christian should comfort, not condemn, the suffering. It is not for Pat Robertson to declare why this happened ... it is his job to use the opportunity to spread the love of the Almighty. SnakeDoc

Obviously you just cherry pick the passages of Scripture that support your unrealistic, utopian view to turn your head from reality. I am 100 percent sure that Pat Robertson's heart is grieving for the Haitian people hit by this disaster and the plight they are facing. He's not rejoicing in it. Jeremiah loved the very people he preached judgement against to the bitter end.

I cited Job (which specifically speaks about comforting, rather than condemning, the suffering) because it colored my opinion of the situation, you cited Jeremiah because it colored yours ... how is our relative scriptural “cherry-picking” particularly different?

I am hardly a utopian. I am well aware of religious and moral problems in Haiti. Bottom line — kicking someone when they’re down doesn’t seem like a particularly Christian value. Right or not, Robertson chose a really bad time to become holier than thou, and comes off as an obnoxious buffoon. Christians should have more class than that.
