I read the article, and frankly don't see anything wrong with what Pat said.

He said that he has the sense from God that there will indeed be bad weather on the East Coast.

Is there anything specifically that's wrong with what he said? Or are we all just eager to jump on the "hate-the-Christian-leader" bandwagon? Are those who pray to the Lord and hear from him necessarily mentally instable?

If I said that God told me to tell you to send me money, vote for me and the sky is blue, would that make me a Christian leader?

"If I heard the Lord right....."

Don't you see that he isn't a prophet from the Lord?? Prophets don't say "If I heard the Lord right, then this is gonna happen"
1. God is never wrong
2. PR is usually wrong, so it's not the Lord he's hearing
3. Test of a prophet: is he ever wrong?? uh oh Pat!

Here's the problem: it's one thing to say that the coasts may be especially susceptible to bad weather due to weather patterns, or to say that God may judge America because of our national policies towards aboriton and homosexuality. Personally, I believe that both those statements are correct.

However, it's quite another thing to say that "God told me that this will happen..." Doing so makes you a prophet, and Robertson's track record makes him a false prophet.

Besides, Noah was the last person I can think of that God specifically sent a weather forecast to.

I think you are exceedingly correct.

But, Pat is a favorite whipping post around here. And, he does seem to say some unnecessarily provocative things at inopportune times. But then, who am I to say anything about that! LOL. Besides, God uses all kinds of 'fools for Jesus' in His mysterious ways. Who knows how many may be provoked to thought and even Salvation because of arguments about what Pat says.
