We have insulted God at the highest level of our government. Then, we say, "Why does this happen?" It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us.
Once that protection is gone, we are vulnerable because we are a free society.

Let me get this Straight.
Pat says that we deserved 9/11 and now we deserve Rudy, the President of 9/11.
Is there really any difference between what Pat Robertson says and the followers of Fred Phelps?
So the way American can regain the Almighty's protection, Pat Robertson, is to endorse an open borders, pro-abortion, cross dressing, gay loving gun grabber to lead our nation?
Do you care to address the substance of Pat Robertson’s article itself?
Don't ask why did it happen. It happened because people are evil. It also happened because God is lifting His protection from this nation and we must pray and ask Him for revival so that once again we will be His people, the planting of His righteousness, so that He will come to our defense and protect us as a nation. That is what I want to see and why we say we must have revival.
I think what Robertson intends to say (or should have intended if not) is that it's irrational for our nation to reject God and then expect God's protection of that nation. As for 911 specifically, as Robertson says, people are evil, and it was evil people who did 911.
I’m no Robertson apologist either, and I believe that you said what (I also hope) he intended to say, better than he did.
Are you proud of what your question says about you?
Nice answer to the question: “Why did Christian Coalition fold up and die?”
O.K. Kirk. Here’s a short quiz for you:
(1)Do you believe that this nation is blessed of God?
(2)Do you think we have been spared from excess blight and given excess blessing at the hand of God?
[I think most Freepers would answer both with a definite YES!]
(3)How long do YOU think God will continue to extend His blessings upon us, as a nation, while we continue to stick our finger in His eye by kicking all vestiges of the Bible out of our culture, killing our babies, and exalting perversions?
Of course, if the article was really so confusing (to Robertson), he could have pulled it from his website long ago and/or included a clarification.
Well summed up. Yes, that is what Pat Robertson said.
Are you saying God killed innocent people, including children, because we deserved it?
Where in this article was the word “deserved” used? Or is this what you said?
I agree, he should clarify...although, given his track record, I don't know that he'd end up clearing anything up.
Of course there is a difference: Robertson offers a reasoned analysis of the situation while Phelps attacks people in their grief. Phelps is reprehensible in his actions since his sole purpose is to offend.
Robertson and his church have seemed vague, to say the least, on chemical and surgical abortion. I think abortion is a black and white doctrinal matter to the Catholic christian church, only. At least that is what I have observed.
In case he hasn't studied the matter, the 'evil' people in this country comprise but a small percentage of the population. If one of his kids commits murder, is he going to kill his whole family?
Yes, Pat, evil has been committed against us here and there, and we are dealing with it. It can just as easily be said that God is using us to punish the terrorists. Seems no one else is, so stand down and STFU!
