What Pat Robertson said was stupid, but I think the point of Robertson’s comment that is lost on many, is that God uses tragedies such as these to bring all of us closer to Him.

Then how was it stupid?

Presumptious? Yes. A great historical stretch? Yes.

But stupid? As you observe, the Bible, in both the Tanak and New Testament, is filled with stories of punishment by God for falling away from God, and promises of same.

OK, maybe not stupid, but it’s certainly presumptuous.
