Pat Robertson...has anything he said really mattered since 1988? I grew up in Virginia Beach (my family still lives there and I still live 45 minutes away) and I know of NO Republicans who take the guy seriously - he’s viewed as a crackpot in his own hometown.
I agree, after all this is “Hurricane Pat” Robertson, who seems to have an affinity for those spinning storms ( A couple of examples):
“Hollywood — Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. ‘By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,’”
Robertson prayed to God to steer hurricanes away from his companies’ Virginia Beach, Virginia, headquarters. He credited his prayers for steering the course of Hurricane Gloria in 1985, which caused billions of dollars of destruction in many states along the U.S. east coast. He made a similar claim about another destructive storm, Hurricane Felix, in 1995.[21]”
right: I’m in total agreement. I grew up in Montgomery County, Maryland. Even now Pat’s “700 Club” still airs regularly on several TV stations. Ever since I saw all of his “word of knowledge” hocus-pocus (i.e., envisioning people across the country being instantly healed by God—at Pat’s behest, of course) I concluded he’d ‘lost it’. So many christians are all messed up. I’ve been ‘saved’ since 1982..I’m the farthest thing from perfect, but sound theology has kept my head screwed on straight. I’d hope that everyone (christians in particular) would seek a candidate for office who’s upright and moral..who refuses to compromise on enduring, God-ordained principles like, “Do not murder” (Ex. 20:13). I’d investigate the Constitution Party and their platform; they’re both ‘rock solid’ regarding Biblically-based values. Chris ><>
