VIRGINIA BEACH-Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is warning that, according to God, storms and possibly a tidal wave will pound America's coastline this year.

Grow up. You know the point. I'm not here defending Pat Robertson. I'm here to say I'm SICK and tired of ignorant rubes on this Forum sumbitching Christianity and belittling it. I won't stand for it.
God DOES speak to people. He has spoken to me......verbally, audibly.....only twice in my 50 years. Very innocuous little things, too; nothing earthshaking to anyone else. To make fun of this just chaps my hide.
I had a Crystal vision but I keep my visions to myself.
Well as a fellow evangelical, all I can say is.......get over it.
I've seen MANY evangelicals "get it wrong". Sometimes they just swear they "heard from God" ......but it was obvious they didn't. Was just.....their own thoughts.
I've seen an equal or greater number of times where it was obvious they DID hear from God. Trouble is, too many are just soooooooo busy, too much 'background noise', to even HEAR the response.
Pat is not a bad person; not a bad man. Right, wrong on this 'word' is immaterial to me. We evangelicals don't need "spokesmen" and I follow none of 'em. I follow ONE. He knows who He is.
God told me that "Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is an idiot"
Do you remember the vile things you said to me? The absolutely worst, vulgar things that anyone has ever said to me on FR...........from a Christian??
I'm having trouble putting the two things together here........
"If he heard the Lord right"? Doesn't he know who is speaking to him inside his head and giving him "prophecies?" If not, maybe he needs to head for the nearest psychiatric hospital.
And the sun rises in the East. It's hot in Arizona in the summertime.
BTTT
The great Sam Kinison:
"God's up in heaven going (snicker), 'Yeah I got bored! I got bored so I told Pat Robertson to run for President!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Watch, this! Watch him do it! Watch him do it! Hey, tonight I'm going to make him get up at 3:00 in the morning and tell him to go check his tire pressure! Watch this... Pat, Pat, it's the Lord! I want you to go out and check your tire pressure.'"
Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but that's how I remember it.
Very good. I'm going to have to remember that one.
Moses. Forecasts of hailstorms and localized flash flooding come to mind.
Tut! I can top that: I predict that God is sooooo angry he's going to INCREASE the amount of daylight (in the Northern Hemisphere) EVERY SINGLE DAY from now until June 21st (in order to illuminate how angry he really is), after which he'll DECREASE the amount of daylight EVERY SINGLE DAY for SIX WHOLE MONTHS (to show how powerful he can be when he's angry)!
And he won't stop there, oh no! He told me he's going to make it increasing hotter and hotter, until we are are sweltering, and then, just when we think we can't take it any more, he's going to make it get colder and colder until sometime around next February (at first to show how merciful he is after afflicting us with with a heat wave, but then he'll continue to chill us out until we are fearful we are going freeze dead in our tracks.)
Roberston needs to get a more powerful crystal ball if he's thinks he's going to make really impressive predictions.....
There's a huge difference between that and the large-scale gloom and doom that Robertson has, repeatedly declared he has heard.
Still small voices I tend to believe in. But those who predict wholesale doom -- especially those with with political agendas, whether Pat Robertson or Al Gore -- better have one heck of a good track record, if they're going to duck satire barrage.
Remember, when God sent Moses to Pharaoh, he gave him a few tricks to show off with, as well.
I don't remember hearing him say God told him that - about the stroke. More like since Ariel Sharon was giving away land for peace - that, according to The Bible, was given to the Jews and should not be given away - the stroke could have been a wake up call or punishment.
I'm impressed. Any thoughts on the Bowl Championship Series? :-)
Sorry; I am forbidden to use my Personal Pipeline to the Supernatural ("PPS") for wagering predictions..... something to do with "wages of sin."
;-)
The best I can do is predict that the ultimate winner will not be known until the end of the season.
