I don’t feel any need to speak for Robertson.
He doesn’t speak for me.

God may be judging Haiti and he may not, but for sure I don’t think Pat Robertson is in the know about it.

Plenty of old testament type cranks out there in any of the three major Abrahamic religions, he just happens to be associated with conservatives so we have to hear about it. Nothing about the will of allah or whatever some yeshiva trained yahoo’s prophecy predicts much less the Neo-animism of the libtards and its spirit world mumbo jumbo. But it gives small minded people a way to seem respectable by bashing this crank and currying small (very small) favor with the hideos left.

Oh right! Shoot the messanger!

I'm no theologian, but wouldn't this fall into a broad category of "taking the Lord's name in vain"? I mean, a human who claims to be able to predict what God will think or what God will do, is really overreaching himself. Robertson is using is poor human brain and asserting what God's judgement shall be. It's a vain effort. He cannot know what God will or will not do, and he ought not to behave as if he has that ability.

Now, having said that, I will make a flat statement that we are all sinners, and we all deserve destruction. It is only the redemptive grace of God that ever saves anyone.

I wish Robertson simply urged everyone to get right with God, for you just never know when you will be called to judgment. Taht's simply true for everyone on the planet.

They need to stop trying to make political hay out of Pat Robertsons’ silly comments. Why does the left constantly try to make political hay out of natural disaster anyways? Its disgusting.

Besides all Haitians know it was caused by too few goat sacrifices.

Danny Glover just one-upped Pat Robertson and blamed the eathquake on Copenhagen:

“When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”

Earthquakes happen to righteous people as well as to unrighteous people. They happen to evangelicals as well as voodoo practitioners. But at least Robertson’s organization is sending aid to Haiti instead of sacrificing a chicken.

What Pat Robertson said and what the media say he said are too different. Haiti does seem to be cursed. I don’t trust the media to tell me what Pat or the Pope said they distort every thing to a their agenda.

[Godzilla]

Robertson had a team IN Haiti constructing a sewage treatment plant WHEN the quake occured. And he’s in the first wave of getting relief supplies to Haiti. Lets keep things in perspective here a little bit.

[caveat emptor]

Interesting take on what Robertson said here. "Haitians and the Devil".

Of course, Pat Robertson isn’t very influential,Kathy Shaidle (www.fivefeetoffury.com/) says “Pat Robertson’s only viewers are reporters hoping he’ll say something stupid“) and I never had much time for the theory that that natural disasters are a judgment on whoever they they happen to, but I understand that ministers feel differently about that sort of thing. But where did he get this weird idea, I thought? Turns out that it’s what Haitians believe themselves:
