Blaming Hurricane Katrina on abortion and now blaming the Earthquake in Haiti on a “pact with the devil” that, unlike our Declaration of Independence, no one can show actually happened, only gives the mockers the opportunity to kick any fence-sitters right back into the anti-Christian camp.
Here at work, I had to sit through a lunchroom filled with gaffaws, hoots, howls, and knee-slapping derision for the stupid things said by this TV “evangelist”, who wears $1000 suits and Rolex watches and guilt-trips his mostly poor audience into sending him more money.
Sorry, but, by my reckoning, ole Pat is helping the devil more than helping our Lord.
It’s one thing to be derided because we believe Christ died to set us free from the penalty of sin.
It’s another to be derided because someone perceived as your “brother” says things so painfully stupid at such a sensitive time.
That said, I could care LESS what the lunchroom crowd says.
Neither should you.
Pat Robertson “wears $1000 suits and Rolex watches and guilt-trips his mostly poor audience into sending him more money”?
No. That is a lie. Sadly, a lot of FReepers believe that lie to be true, simply because they enjoy hating on high-profile Christians.
You mean he is like the Pope and the Catholic church?
I keep hearing the word “idiot”. I just want to say to all you Pat Robertson bashers that every idle word will be judged of you when you stand before God. He hears every word and remembers them. (Matthew 12:36)
Not my idea. Jesus Christ said it.
