Pat Robertson Blames Earthquake on Pact Haitians Made with Satan

Pat Robertson is an idiot who makes all Christians look bad. So he says hundreds of thousands of people suffer and die because God wants them to? Pretty Old Testament, isn’t it?

He didnt say 100,000 people suffered because God wanted them to, Carl. Maybe you should read the ACTUAL words instead of adding your own; it makes you look like an idiot. Pretty Old School, isn’t it?

I don’t want to know the God Robertson worships.
The book of Job —— I rest my case.

Shame on Pat. Get off your rear and go help those people!

The U.S. faces double-digit unemployment, an uptick in terrorist attacks, an Iran on the verge of obtaining nuclear weapons, a more aggressive China and Russia, exploding deficits, etc., etc., etc. and this is how ABC News chooses to deploy time and resources?
How about reporting on the “unprecedented” number of “czars” (some with questionable pasts)? How about the firing of IG Walpin in effort to protect an Obama support (and corrupt mayor)?
How about doing some investigative analysis on the TRUE economic impact of the Senate healthcare bill? (Hint: it is not even CLOSE to being deficit neutral)
America is catching on, ABC. It’s time to put the pom-poms down.

Seriously????
The man has lost it.

Among other passages,Robertson’s Bible seems to be missing the part that says, “Judge not, lest ye be judged.”

Someone reminding you to READ and not add your hate to the quotes seems common sense, Carl…but, yet, you had to be reminded. How sad.

The man tells the truth. Maybe now people will believe there is a God…whether in good times or bad.

That man is the least Christian human being on the face of the planet. No wait, the universe. In fact, if he isn’t Satan himself, he’s at the very least his right hand man. Keep spreading hatred and malice, Pat Robertson. Yours will be gotten in the end.

The extremely hateful and exclusive interpretation of Christianity that you and Robertson push is the very stereotype that Hollywood loves to sell in movies and TV.

Pat Robertson has show himself a “frantic Christian”. He love to scare people about Satan and hell. He is on the power ego trip.

“I’m not a religious person, won’t take the bait.”
So you can’t comment on Pat Robertson saying that God was punishing Haiti with an earthquake?
Always the coward.

You are defending him and his statements. So do you agree with Pat Robertson’s comments or not?

God has a plan, all right, and it seems to be to make the people who claim to spread His word look like babbling idiots.

Crazy old loon! He should be embarrassed and ashamed.

—He may be a crank, but he’s consistent in his crankery. Anywhere there’s human misery — after 9/11, after Katrina, even after Ariel Sharon’s stroke — Reverend Pat will be there to explain to the victims why they deserved it. (And he’s not the only one.) He’s taking a beating on Twitter right now for having said this, including/especially from Christians who don’t want to see the faith smeared by his latest Old Testament thunderbolt theory. No worries there: Other Christian leaders, starting with the Pope and Franklin Graham, are taking a more New Testament view. But even conceding that he doesn’t speak for most Christians, he does still command a sizable following, no? Even after years of barfing up stuff like this.
Fact check: roughly 95 percent of Haitians are Christian.—(Hot Air)

Some places to donate to help are the
Red Cross
Salvation Army
also the Catholic Relief Service

For those who quote scripture about not judging you clearly indicate that you are just quoting something you heard and not something you’ve read for yourself. For if you do read the Bible then you would know that Jesus said to the religious scholars in John 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” The scripture clearly indicates that a religious scholar, which is who Oral Roberts is today can and will judge so long as it is with a righteous judgment. Matt 7:1 applies to the rest of laymen who are not anointed by God to preach and teach the gospel. Some of you so called Christians need to study the word of God instead of misapplying something you picked up while half asleep at church. Stop doing “church” and have “relationship” with God.

I’m just wondering how much Pat got from the Haitains for freeing them from France anyway!

No, Carl, I do NOT agree with Pat; I disagree with you.
You made false statements by twisting your own hate into another persons words. I called you on it.
You then made another claim (and added me to it) which, shock of all shocks, was false. I called you on that as well.
Here we are, 3 posts later with me correcting your assumptions yet again. At least in the last post your assumption was ended in a question of you possibly being wrong – an improvement!
Your own thoughts are good enough without having to twist words and add hate. Any comments, by you, on what he ACTUALLY said would have been interesting. I look forward to reading them.

i think perhaps the craziest thing he said in the whole article was: “Dominican Republic is, is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etcetera.” pat must not have ever left the grounds of those resorts.

What if he’s right?
I mean, if you ask me Haiti’s been poor since 1804. And the country did use voodoo, so what if Pat Robertson is right. The media’s just mad because he doesn’t support the liberal causes (gay rights, abortion, etc.)

Does Pat Robertson have first-hand contact with Satan? Why do guys like this fail to do a little cost-benefit analysis before condemning thousands of innocents with ignorant rhetoric? Robertson’s words have done more harm than good. Christ said the greatest of His commands was to love others and we should all be doing what we can to show that by helping the desperate people of this world, especially those in Haiti at a time like this.

Steve Hanes you said:
The scripture clearly indicates that a religious scholar, which is who Oral Roberts is today can and will judge so long as it is with a righteous judgment. Matt 7:1 applies to the rest of laymen who are not anointed by God to preach and teach the gospel.
I think you mean “self-anointed” not “anointed by God”. I don’t think you could find any witnesses of God anointing Oral Roberts, Pat Roberts, or any other religious leader, because it never happened.
Spare us the superstitious, make believe moralizing, which leads to people like Pat Robertson making ridiculous comments.

Robertson is such a God awful fool!

Of course this is but another completely idiotic statement by a complete idiot. The good that comes out of this is that every time Robertson says something moronic like this more people realize that he is totally insane.

wow, those french. had their butt kicked by the haitians (well and satan, presumably). man, they are truly pathetic.
why do the trees grow so tall and full that line the streets of paris?: so the germans can march in the shade.

Oh, I see – Haiti’s poverty has nothing to do with 300 years of slavery, centuries of deforestation, and ruined cropland. It has nothing to do with U.S. Farm Bill subsidized cheap rice that forced Haiti’s rice farmers out of business, thus creating a huge rural migration into the slums of Port-au-Prince. It has nothing to do with the fact that Haitians cannot afford to send their kids to school.
Instead we should believe Pat Roberston simplistic, mind numbing lie – “it’s a pact with the devil.” Thessalonians 5:21 “Test everything – hold onto the good.” Get thee behind us Pat Robertson.

Well, I am a conservative; but what the heck is Pat Robertson saying here, he’s nuts. It’s absurd to say that before and more so in the middle of a tragedy. I am sure the vast majority of people regardless their political or religious views will disagree with this remarks that are just senseless and plain crazy!

You’re wrong Jean!
There are plenty, I mean plenty, of people who will believe and support Pat Robertson. Why do you think he still exists?

Carl, I seem to be having a conversation with just you. I hope you dont mind.
You stated:
“SO HE SAYS hundreds of thousands of people suffer and die because GOD wants them to?”
He didnt actually say that.
You stated:
“The extremely hateful and exclusive interpretation of Christianity that you and Robertson push …”
I’m neither extreme, nor hateful, nor exculsive, nor am I a Christian, nor am I in league with Pat. So, lets see, thats 5 times in one sentence.
You stated:
“Robertson said that past Haitian leaders made a deal with Satan to gain independence from the French, therefore the people to this day are suffering for it. What did I say that was false?”
That it came from God (see first post) – Pat never said that God wanted 100,000 to die. I would think that Satan (if he were to exist) isnt the best ally/boss to have. I doubt he offers dental or vision plans in his company. j/k
I do have to get back to work so I just wanted to make my point of – be real and true!
Thanks for the chitchat, Carl.

And so what if they did use Voodoo. It is their religion and their own way to God or Goddess. There is more than one way to God. Besides which, Satan was a Catholic invention. He himself doesn’t exist and was only created by the Catholics to push down the Pagans of the past so they could forcefully convert them.

It’s people like Pat Robertson that give others a slanted view on how a true Christian should live their life. Shame on him. He should keep his mouth shut, and extend a helping hand to humanity.

Just this morning I was wondering how long it would take Pat Robertson to blame the Haitians for this disaster. I guess I got my answer.

Pat Robertson’s parents should be slapped for not using birth control! This is written by a born again Christian who has had enough of Robertson! SHAME ON YOU! BE QUIET, YOUR IGNORANCE IS SHOWING!

Religion, the last bastion of the ignorant.

I personally would like to hear more about what exactly happened in the NC Port yesterday. DO NOT GIVE ROBERTSON ANY MORE FREEEEEEEE PRESS! STOP HIS MADNESS!!!!!

“Remember a myth or legend usually has some truth in it. and when it is handed down orally from generations it is usually true.”
Really? You mean Washington really did cut down a cherry tree.

No, Carl, you just thought no one would call you on your twists. Surprise.
And I never get in someone face, conversation is always good. Try not to twist it too.

No mention of this on Fox – big surprise. Ane Evangelicals wonder why so many of us hold them in contempt. Wow.

Let me get this straight. The pact with the devil was made in 1803 and God waited 207 years to punish them? Sorry, Pat, I don’t think so. The truth is, there is a fault under the island and it was only a matter of time. Geologists have been waiting for this earthquake for almost 20 years. Too bad no one used this knowledge to help the people prepare for it.

Forgive him Lord.

Logic must be elusive today. You, me… and Pat! j/k

“No mention of this on Fox”
Nothing at all on their website either.
But as a right wing propaganda outfit, I am sure they are thinking of ways to spin it when they get around to presenting it.

Who do voodoo? You do voodoo? Dat’s cwazy!

If the Hatians get this for dealing with the devil – I can’t wait to see what Wall Street titans and fat cat Bankers get. Gee, Pat Robertson didn’t even mention those evil dudes. I think Mr. Robertson is a blind fool and prejudice to boot.

This is a joke…Let’s pick and choose what religion we want to follow but oh now let’s pick out what we want to believe and follow. Religion is a joke…and this articles confirms it more for me, unless you are the ones who believe the world is coming to an end..all I can say is goodbye..hahahaha

the truly sad fact is that for whatever reason, it sounds like the construction of their buildings is not adequate to protect people from an event like this earthquake, and probably many more people have died than would have if they had adequate construction.
it is the actions and policies of those governing Haiti today that have the most effect on their citizens, not a 200 year old legend.

And to think we are scared of extreme islamists.

If Robertson worships a god he believes just killed thousands of innocent children, babies, and fetuses because of something a man did two centuries ago, it seems he’s worshiping a devil, not a god!

Hmmmm… If any politician had any prolonged contact with this man I would have SERIOUS questions to ask about their judgement. Robertson is obviously crazy.
But what about obama’s 20 year relationship with Rev Racist (the Rev baptized his children, married the obamas, inspired the titled of barry’s book “Dreams From My Deadbeat Father”).
Rev racist was constantly claiming that “white folks greed runs a world in need”, “GD America”, “America deserved 9/11″, but all of the liberals never had a problem with that.
When someone bashes the United States, liberals usually cheer, but when someone bashes another country they get all excited and bothered. Sure makes sense!

i AM SORRY BUT AFRER READING THIS THIS MAN pAT rOBINSON IS A REAL ASS.

Whatever we need to tell ourselves as we live in luxury and they live in mud huts. I suppose I should be greatful not to have to hear something blamed on homosexuals for a change.

“Experience with right wingers has taught me to expect very little when it comes to courage.”
Riiiight…because we all know the U.S. military is stacked full of those courageous left-wingers…
Thanks for setting me straight. You were right, you win, case closed.

OK Pat, so what’s the reason for the rest of the impoverished countries in the world? Same deal, they made a pact with Satan? There is only one pact with Satan and that is the one you and other evengelical cronies like you have made and that is to worship the almighty dollar. If guys like you were the real deal you would live as Jesus did and that is in poverty ministering to the poor. You are a parasite.

God doesn’t exist people!

James 1:13
When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.

Pat Robertson is a true christian. Instead asking how he can help, he gives the Haitians the middle finger. What an idiot.

The facts are these: Poor governmental foresight, lack of adequate medical facilities and rescue personnel, lack of money to build proper buildings, no housing codes to make sure those buildings are solid, and a host of other very simple and common safeguards are what led to the huge loss of life in Haiti. But hey, Pat, if you want to live cuckoo land and believe in fairies and demons, then maybe you need an intervention. Up the dosage, wacko.

To think that God’s judgment would fall on an entire nation based on what a few leaders supposedly did. If this is true it will be interesting to see what plans God has for the U.S. Let’s see, there was the Iran/Contra weapons for drug deal, invading and destroying the infrastructure of a country that didn’t attack us, putting in brutal puppet dictators around the world to serve our interests, slavery, Japanese internment……etc.

When Noahs flood happened and and Lots Sodom and Gomorrah came about people were probally saying the same thing thats being said here.The people need pryer. Thanks for praying for these people Pat Robertson and not being ashamed of GOD and asking for his mercy and blessings to be restored to these peole.

remnant…And just because you, and others, believe in “god” doesn’t me he/she/it exists.

Rev. Pat seems to have forgotten that the first duty of a Christian who finds a fellow child of God in distress is not to ask what sin that person or his ancestor may have committed, but what can I do to relieve their temporal suffering because we are all brothers (and sisters) in Christ, and all of us are sinners in need of salvation.
It is unfortunate that he has to wander off into this looney imitation of theology. Jesus would have mildly rebuked him.

Pat Robertson, Sarah Palin, republicans, what’s the difference? They are easily recognized by their bigotry and stupidity. Too bad we have to engage these forked-tonged wastes of protoplasm. Let’s move on and not pay attention to these goons.

If you Look up the Religous Makeup of Haiti, it says about 80% of the Population is Catholic but it also says over half the Population says it also practices various forms of Voodoo..
Was it not Pat Robertson who also said Hurricane Katrina was sent by God too New Orleans because they sinned??..
If Sinning and Pacts with the Devil were any Real Indicator of Gods rath….Washington DC would have been Destroyed 10 times over by now….Right?..Right

Pat Robertson needs to repent, and seek therapy.

Pat Robertson is insane with his own power. Or what he thinks is his own power.But he only shows his ignorance.It was an earthquake. A NATURAL disaster. A disaster that can be explained by third grade science. God doesn’t kill his children.Don’t blame God. And don’t blame the innocent. His ideal of God’s revenge is a contradiction in itself. Nothing like kicking someone when their devastated Pat. And what purpose do your words serve? Shut up you evil doer

Who died and left Pat Robertson the spokeperson for God? Does this man ever think before he opens his mouth and shows how much out of touch he is with reality. To make a statement also show he cares nothing about those who suffer in this disaster. Many are going to start wondering if Pat Robertson is actually Satan for making such a demeaning statement!!! That is why I do not watch or even support his ministry. He is like so many that get on TV and are out touch with the little people out there and the reality of every day life!!!

Pat Robertson is a pathetic excuse for a human being. If anyone belongs in hell for hatred, bigotry, racism, and self-righteousness, it’s him.

Not all “rational” “scientific” Christians believe the Old Testament’s prediction of Armageddon is based on the inviolate, unaltered word handed down by an avenging angry Yahweh.
People do not agree that the World is “slapping His Son in the face everyday for 2,000 years.” That’s one reason there are so many different Christian denominations.

Pat Robertson, is so misguided with a deranged mind of what is good or bad. His quest for power comes from the DEVIL as does his reasoning for all suffering, which he thinks is just retribution from God.The is a just God not a hate filled one like Pat Robertson. Piety on you, for you shall suffer 10 fold for all your comments now.

I think Pat Robertson needs to get a grip on reality..I really despise how he and other christian hypocrites use tradegies as an excuse to spout their ignorance..I seem to remember him saying things about 911,the katrina and now this…He needs to go buy a little island,with the millions that hes conned out of the real christians,and start his own little utopia and leave all of us sane people,alone !!! maybe a tsunami can hit it and wash them all away !!!

Could someone please explain why the rantings of this idiot constitute news? (And why Jesus Christ hasn’t sued the pants off him for misusing his name?)

How so?

Clearly, Pat Robertson is under the spell of satan, and is an evil man. Why?
He uses the Bible to express and support his own prerogatives and viewpoints.
As soon as his disciples, worshipers, and financial supporters realize that Pat Robertson is a false God, all people will benefit.
It truly is very unfortunate, and sad, that so many people and businesses cannot realize that Pat Robertson is one big evangelical fake.

There will probably be a lot of extra souls in heaven due to the work of Pat Robertson and his organization.
Praise God for the men and women who answer the call to work in the fields.
The angry, bitter comments here are certainly no surprise. It comes with the territory, unfortunately.
I pray for the safety of the survivors of this earthquake. And, more importantly, I pray for their eternal souls. May they find their eternal salvation through the matchless grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.

I blame Pat Robertson on pact 700 club and Fox news made with satan.

Pat is 100% correct.The facts show for themselves.As a friend of a former satanist from Haiti, she has said this to me many times.The country of Haiti has to turn to God in order to be freed from the torment of Satan. People..get a grip!

I realize that Mr. Robertson by no means speaks for the christian community but neither have I seen the christian community distance themselves from his past idiotic statements. It is ignorant statements like this that make me glad I am not a christian. Peace All

….AND this is the kind of insensitive, uncaring, judgemental, racist, bigoted “thing” other Human Beings would follow. Make you go ….ummm.

This is the very reason why I left the Republican Party years ago, and never looked back. I’m glad I grew a brain.

Pat Robinson, what a sanianic view this man has. People, including little children, hungry, injured, loss of life and little help in the near future. I pray the Lord will have mercy on this mans soul. For him to use the christian ministry to say something to this nature is WRONG. Shame on you Pat Robinson and Rush Limbaugh also….

Mr. ROBERTSON should be ashamed of, and apologize for, his ill-advised and insensitive comments on a day of unimaginable distress and grief for Haitians. Religious beliefs similar to mr. ROBERTSON’s caused absurd accusations, prosecution and burning of so-called witches and heretics in the Dark Ages.
Luis Retana Acevedo, Nuenen, The Netherlands

Why should ANYONE blieve ANYTHING this man says? He also claims to have the power to deflect hurricanes through prayer, predicted “by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world”, and had financial ties to former African politicians who were denounced for their human rights violations.
Robertson also claimed God told him that “mass killings” were to come during 2007 from a terrorist attack on the US. He is a fear mongering snake oil salesman who claims nuclear strikes on American soil are pending and Freemasons are part of a world wide evil conspiracy. Oh, by the way, he wants you to send him money.

Pat Robertson IS Satan so he should know.
Just kidding but he is always making false prophecies so according to the bible all his followers are doomed.

This man has no decency.

They need to kick Robertson off the air. Who the hell does he think he is? Who left him in charge? Hey Robertson, don’t throw rocks at you’re own window! I guess you never told a “lie” – you’re perfect – shame on you and to think people listen to what you say. Shame on you and you better pray to the Almight for forgiveness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds me of another nutjob pastor that implied the 3,000 innocent people murdered in 9/11 were being paid back because America brought on the attack.
Something about “chickens coming home to roost”?
Oh yeah–Obama’s pastor.
Reverend Wright.
Makes you wonder how Obama could willingly sit there listening to that man for 20 years.

If you want to stop this man call the station he was on today. Tell them to take him off. Write your congressman and tell him or her to investigate his church. Write your locale news paper and ask them to look into their tax free status. Do something to get his mans attention. Money talks so hiy him in his pockets!

Pray? You really think praying is going to help these people? You actually said collapsed buildings were a “blessing in disguise”?
So people have no electricity, I’m sure the water supply’s been tainted, people are homeless, there’s probably people who’ve been trapped in these collapsed buildings. These people are suffering. They need more than “prayer”. And the implication based on a FABLE that they somehow deserved this is horrific.
You are not an example of a true Christian. You are an example of a narrow-minded, single-minded bigot.

I feel better now, knowing why this happened. Perhaps Robertson knows who will win the Super Bowl!

Pat Robertson, needs to shut up….Deal with the devil, give me a break. You nutjob. I suppose 9/11 was because our deal with the devil. You crazy old nutjob

When God calls Pat is going to have some explaining to do.

Pat Robertson does not have the authority to speak for all Christians. He doesn’t know WHAT he’s talking about and there is no Biblical or historical precedent for his babblings on the earthquake in Haiti.

Hey, Hey – this is not about political parties – I am a Republican and this wingnut does not share a single belief with me. Not all Republicans are extremists, like not all Democrats are Socialist reefer addicts. Robertson is the anti-Christ and he does NOT speak for Republicans!

“How many will withhold donations”
People should withhold donations from Robertson.
He is scum.
Donate to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Catholic Relief Services etc.

The blame game. What a fool. Mr Robertson, have you no decency?

Who made Pat Robertson God? I can´t stand this. If you want to make a difference Pat, don´t speak as a Christian seeming to condemn a people who are hurting….find a way to help. Use your breath to praise the Lord. I got back on Sunday from a trip, and I know some wonderful missionaries and men serving on a team digging people out right now. Please pray for them.
God bless.

This Robertson character needs to be put in a sensory deprivation chamber. Not that it will help him, mind you. I just can’t stand it whenever he opens his piehole.

How evil does this man have to become for the media to stop reporting on him?
Is he the AntiChrist?

“Under the heel of the French…” Really is that the new terminology for slavery in this day and age?!!!?
I pray that anyone hearing or reading his comments ignores them. There is potentially a tremendous loss of life not to mention destruction of the capital city.
If you don’t care about Haiti or its people then DON’T COMMENT, turn a blind eye and move on with life…It’s really that simple.
I have close family members who may or may not have lived through this and when I’m searching the web or news cites to find information this type of insensitive babble and outright lie is the last thing I need to see.

Will someone PLEASE shut this nutcase up! As a Born Again Christian, I’m disgusted that religious-right wackos like Pat Robertson have the nerve to claim they represent Christ. His ignorance and bigotry are appalling. Robertson lied about his “service” during the Korean War and got away with it till some of the real heroes started writing letters to newspaper editors showing him up for the phony he his. It’s just too bad that his being able to keep his show was part of the deal when Disney bought the Family Channel. He should have been taken off the air long ago.

well the majority of Haitians seem to believe similiar tales of devil pacts, voodoo, and other superstitous or religious beliefs; so are we to criticise them also? Pat Robertson might be a nutcase but so are the majority of Haitianns. Even certain crazy former Haitian presidents (like Papa Doc) believed in voodoo (recall Tonton Macoutes etc). And it is weird how Dominican Rep seems to be doing, relatively, well and Haiti is such a hellhole.
-but regardless if the earthquake was result “devil’s pacts” or natural disaster the people of Haiti need some real help and soon.

So Haiti made a pact with the devil to be liberated from France and that is why thousands of Haitians were killed several days ago, so says Pat Robertson?
If ever there was an argument for the seperation of church and state, this is the one. Remember the clip of Sarah Palin’s pastor exorcising demons in his Wasilla church? This would be example…two. The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing in 1789. Thank God.

Boy Pat, God Almightly has a special place waiting for you!!!!!!!

Pat, Think before you speak. It is Wise. You can’t take words back once you say it and then reaches the ears of the public. Its sounds awful judgemental on your part and I feel you’ve come to the wrong conclusions. Don’t earthquakes have to do with fault lines and formations in the earth? how old a place is and the cracks in the earth? Its inevitable that it could strike anytime. Its like that here in California. Or could it remind us of his soon coming and to keep us looking for his appearance? Jesus said it would happen closer and closer together before he came as birth pains of a mother and child.
If thats the case only prayer can stop such a force or warn us to leave the place its fixing to hit.
Its easy to make accessments as he does when he’s not in the disaster. It must be the most awful feeling to have no control of anything when a stong earthquake hits. God always filled my heart with joy when they happened in Cali but I didn’t want to die anytime sooner then I had too. And it was because I knew God and I had that security in him. Most people treasure life. If what Pat said was true then he should have told them before hand and warn them so they could cry out for Mercy and repent for their nation for all the innocent people. God surely has patience if he waited 200 years and said thats it! God aways gave warnings in the Old Testament and he has never changed.

OH MY GOD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN?
WHAT AN INSULT TO HUMANITY. HOW ANYONE CAN EVEN LISTEN TO HIS COMMENTS, OR EVEN ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK SUCH EVIL HIMSELF, IS JUST AS SICK AS HE IS, IN HIS HEART. NOW THAT IS SATAN HIMSELF SPEAKING, AND WHO IS HE TO EVEN JUDGE A COUNTRY ON WHAT THEIR BELIEFS ARE? NOR IS THE WHOLE COUNTRY INTO VODOO. WHAT ABOUT AMERICA? COME ON, THE WIDE SPREAD EVIL THAT GOES ON IN THIS COUNTRY, IS JUST AS WRONG AND EVIL AS IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY. WONDER WHAT HE HAS TO PREDECT FOR AMERICA, AND IF HE WILL SAY WE BROUGHT IT ALL ON UPON OURSELVES, AND WILL HE INCLUDE HIMSELF IN THAT? SAD SAD MAN, IS ALL HE IS.

As if we needed any more evidence of Robertson’s delusional state of mind. To think that some actually listen to and BELEIVE what this man says…if this is his “truth”, those who do should carefully consider questioning his opinions on politics, social issues, and God. Worse than delusional, he is a shameless opportunist who uses horrible tragedies to promote his own agenda. Shame on him.

Pat Robertson is either an evil old man or he’s someone who is suffering from dementia or Alzheimers. No one with any sense of morality or kindness would use a tragedy like this to advance his personal ambitions and views.

I feel extremely lucky to have been born
in a country founded on christianity where one can enjoy one of our gifts, “free speech”.I feel the news media is and always has used any news, good and bad,to get our attention. I hope one mans comments on the cause of the devastation in Haiti does not let us loose our focus on what is needed at this time.

Pat Robertson is living proof that there is no god.

You hear things like this and try to imagine what kind of people still cling to the conservative mindset that creates people like Pat Robertson and Sarah Palin.

I think its time for God to do us all a favor and call ol Pat home.

It’s sad when a man that says he is a christian can say such things during this terrible time. He sounds like a Jim Jones to me and his followers will be drinking the Kool aid with him. So did everyone that is hurt there have a deal with the devil? We can’t believe everything we hear from men of the clothe. Remember that many of them have killed and raped and he like them are just human and THEY all have skeletons in THEIR closets. I wonder what his is?

has that old man lost his mind? although i must say rush is very proud of you for saying outloud what he is thinking

i’m christian and i still say Pat Robertson is a nutter

you guys are totally taking Pat wrong, and yes he has done things wrong and not a huge fan. Pat is even misinformed. There are certain rules in the spirit relm, and does hold people in bondage can be illness, and financial problems. Which the country does struggle with, but he should of keep his mouth shut becuase some people will never recieve what he has said. People need support and the love of Christ to come to him, not harshness of why they are being judged by satan or God. He needs to educate himself alittle more in the spirit relm and his people skills. People should come to Christ because of love not condemnation.

Pat Robertson needs a stronger grip on history…”Napoleon III or whatever…” as he says in the video wasn’t even in power until 1848!
If he doesn’t even have simple historical facts straight, how can anyone trust his judgment?

such a sad, ignorant, small minded man.

Places that are helping in Haiti
Red Cross
Salvation Army
Catholic Relief Services.

I think the headline is misleading. Nowhere does it say that Pat Robertson blames the earthquake on a pact Haitians made with Satan. He’s talking about something else. A desperately poor people that have been lead astray. Whether they made a pact or not doesn’t really matter. They are in a hole and need to change their ways. Bad things will happen to good people and good things will happen to bad people. That’s not the point. As Christians, we run a race to the end. The Haitians aren’t running any race. That was his point.

We as human beings are in no position to judge each. we have all sinned. so all we need to do is pray for the people of Haiti so that God can help them in this time of need and possibly help were we can. people have lost lives and all people can do is say such crap? where is yo sense of humanity? this is just wrong. God should have mercy on us all.
ma prayers are with u people of Haiti. i believe God will see u thru.

You crazy raciest person! you are are a horrible person!! You are rich should be donating and helping not judging!

This is nothing new as Pat Roberts has said he speaks to God. Many Republicans will believe this statement. Look Barbara Bush called Katrina Victims, Refugees and the Media did the same. Now the GOP is saying Obama didn’t act quick enough to help Haiti but saw no problem with Bush waiting 5 days to make sure many Americans died before responsing.

As a bilbe-believing christian, who goes to a bible-teaching church, I am outraged at Pat Robertson and his continually outrageous and hurtful comments. He is nuts and give so many kind, loving and non-judgmental christians a bad reputation. He (and Jerry Falwell) may have a lot of explaining to do with God. It’s shameful. I don’t even wathc his show anymore because he rants about so many things that he has no idea what he is talking about. He wrongfully attributes so much to the bible and is so often very wrong. Please don’t judge all christians by this embarrasingly stupid man and his actions and words.

fyi, haiti’s desperate poverty is by and large a result of the country having been ruled by one of the world’s worst despots for many years.

So the devil actually spoke and said “It’s a deal”. How about that.

Maybe if we make a deal with the DEVIL we can get Pat Robertson off the air.

If god really behaved the way Robertson says, god would be arrested and thrown in jail. Why would anyone follow a murderer – why does Robertson worship a diety that wiped out children based on an old wives tale. Even if there was a deal with the devil, would god really think killing children is right? There is nothing Christian about that hateful man or the god he made up.

I spoke with BOTH God and the Devil… God said “I have no idea who Pat Robinson is” and the Devil said “He is my best work, an idoit with power”
LOL

Pat Robertson is the Devil…….
Devil’s Child Lyrics
Artist(Band):Judas Priest
Hypnotize me
Mesmerize me
Feel my willpower slip
Light my fire
With cold desire
Losing all my grip
Eat my diamonds
Drinking all my gin
Feast your eyes on
A whole lotta sin
Oh no you’re so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you’re the devil
I believe you’re the devil’s child
Took my dreams
And now it’s seems you’re nothing but a liar
Smash and grab at all I had
Build my funeral pyre
Stop pretendin’
Got me growin’ old
Your tormentin’s
Fit to snap my soul
Oh no you’re so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you’re the devil
I believe you’re the devil’s child
You took my heart
And left it blown to smithereens
I gave my body as a slave
You cut my flesh
And drank my blood that poured in streams
I’m left here broken and ashamed
Goin’ under
Hear the thunder
Death defying grace
Your condition breeds ammuntion
Shoots me in the face
Vicious talkin’
Stabs me like a knife
Scratched and bruised, so abused
I’m a human sacrifice
Oh no you’re so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me
You never let me go
I believe you’re the devil
I believe you’re the devil’s child

FREAK!

Pat…. Get help and go away and take your twist views too. If thier is a devil then your doing his work. You should be ashamed how you manipulated your religion and your follows to belive the crap you speak.

This kind of thing is the exact reason I’m not a Christian. The message Jesus originally brought to love your neighbor has been turned into find a reason to believe your neighbor is a devil worshipper. Also the story of Haiti making a pact with the devil is ridiculous. Even if it ever happened, what kind of God would punish the people of a entire country for the actions of a few hundreds of years ago. This kind of pronouncement just gives many people a reason to justify not helping these poor people. No wonder we have a society that blames victims. Don’t wait for God to lift this imaginary curse, it’s up to us to help eachother.

Pat needs to cut down on the drinking.

I am so angry, what an ignorant man. Can he possibly believe such nonsense about a pact like the devil, or is it , any black nation such as Haiti, or Black louisiana, or black in general that he has a problem with.–June-
Yep June look at his history, he had a lawsuit brought against him at his headquarters in Chesapeake, va for making black employees enter through the back door among other racist behavior. He also got in some trouble for investing in mines in Africa, the kind that use child labor and abuse their workers.

Wonder if Pat Robertson made a pact w/ Satan? Could explain why he’s not yet been struck down by God?

What does God say about those that put themselves on pedestals and pass judgement on the poor and helpless. What deal did all the relief and missionary workers make with the devil that are now dead or missing? Some may say Pat’s tongue can be as sharp as the devils.

That supposed story was part of the largely successful campaign of the christian churches to establish and develop in Haiti. The church has always thrived when oppression, ignorance and poverty abound. They have free reign in corrupt despotic regimes. Pat Robertson knows the story although most christians would probably rather it was forgotten. If Pat wasn’t batsheet crazy he would remember that too.

ah, the post-disaster crazy comment from Robertson. The man is a lunatic – it astounds me that anyone thinks he is a man of God.

Sad

Don’t be surprised that Pat thinks the people of Haiti have themselves to blame for their condition. This thinking goes bad many thousands of years. Even during the time when Jesus lived on earth, the religious leaders taught that poor people, the blind, lepers, and other unfortunate individuals deserved their condition because of their sins and the sins of their ancestors. Of course, Christ hung out with these types of individuals because he knew better. He was criticized for doing so. Some religious leaders, like Pat, still have these misconceptions today and have trouble withholding their judgment. Pat needs to step into the light by reading these verses many more times until he gets the message and stops making Christians sound like fools.

Cheri- you did not vote for Obama. I am sure that you are not American- don’t know about the history of the last 8 years- two wars, unemployment- 75,000 per month losing their jobs, collapsed economy and banking sector, spent surplus from the Clinton era, Wall street scandals, Enron, Global Crossing, Derugulation tha precipitated the worst housing crises. Obama has saved this country from total disintergration. Cheri, the Bush era will not come back. You can go back to AABAMA or mississippi. America is moving forward.

Pat Robertson may call himself a Christian and use the title “Reverend,” but his comments do not reveal the mind or character of the God he claims to trust and serve. Instead, Pat Robertson routinely reveals his own ignorance, arrogance, and fear. May God have mercy on him.

I’m not religious but unlike those on the far left, I don’t begrudge those who are. But nut cases like this give religious people a bad name. There is no reason whatsoever for making this comment. He is a stupid man.

Not one Republicans spoke out against Pat Robinson comment which speaks volume to country around the world.

Pat cannot be a Christian. Christ cared about the poor and the lame and the halt.
Pat does not. Pat cares about Pat and how he can twist the Christian message into whatever he thinks will get the attention of those who are ignorant. If you are offended by that word, look it up: there is no shame in being ignorant; there is only stupidity in failing to know that there is the possibility of being ignorant.
And, Boy! Are you, Pat, ignorant. In fact you are so ignorant you do not know or understand the danger of being ignorant or denying that you can or might be ignorant.
Christ would shun you! Everyone should shun you. I shun you. I want you to gain fame for your stupid, ignorant, vicious, dangerous, racist, ugly, forever wrong and twisted remarks and beliefs which you dress in the cloth of Christianity. There was a point where I might have become a Christian. You and your remarks and apparent beliefs have turned me around forever and I will never believe your kind of Christianity.

I’m very conservative, but… Hey, Pat, get beyond the “urban legends” of the “Satin worshipers”. I’m sure all the little old ladies and small children of Haiti are not scourged with the sin of SOME of their ancestors!!!

So our LA earthquakes, our Hurricanes, our Galviston flood, and all our other past dissters must prove we are equally as sinful, right Pat.
This man is a fruitcake who should have at some point during his life gotten out of his comfort zone and traveled the world to learn that all people are different. Different generally because of the way they were raised to be ignorant.
The USA has alcohol in every store on every corner. Porn on TV and DVD. MTV’s crap, illegal drug use and prescription drug abuse, work and shopping on Sunday, and Idol worship everywhere whether it be Sports, TV, Money, ect… and we are somehow the perfect chosen country in our creators eyes? RIght !!!

you have got to be kidding!

More wisdom from Mr. Robertson: “That was never in the Constitution, however much the liberals laugh at me for saying it, they know good and well it was never in the Constitution! Such language only appeared in the constitution of the Communist Soviet Union.” –Pat Robertson, on the constitutional separation of church and state.

Sounds like Pat Robertson has been having tea with Sarah Palin again.

Haiti is 96% Christian. Pat Robertson wants us to worship a God who would do this to his children for something that happened over 200 years ago. A God that does that is vile, and evil, and is not worthy of any persons faith.

the legend of the “pact” with “satan” is fiction. if there is a satan is is people like Pat Robertson who make money off other peoples pain and suffering and horrible misfortune. In addition all you self righteous “christians” check your facts. this revoltion prompted France to sell us the Louisiana Purchase for $50 million, doubling the size of the US. All because of the Haitian revolution. I guess that makes most of the US in pact the fictional character soft mindled people need to be afraid of and controlled named “satan”.

To MikeMo1947, which is it, he has the freedom to speak his mind (and we have the freedom to be disgusted by his comments) or he cannot claim to know gods will and thus should keep his thoughts to himself?

This case is so clear the Media is against Christ and Bible.At every little opportunity, they jump at any thing to criticize christianity . Well we already getting the result in Ameica already. Nothing is going well and sin has dominated our nation the reason for Economic meltdown, jobs flying away to China, huge deficit, dollar loosing its value etc. America has gone against the God of our founding fathers.

Let’s hope an earthquake doesn’t strike Virginia.

k. roessher cant you see that the word America was well spelt at last line of my comment? the one you were talking about was a simple typographical error.

Isiah 13 11-13 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. I will make man scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.

The false prophet should be ashamed of himself. He is tired of doing marketing, broadcasting,diamond mining and land development schemes, He is looking for a new one. He is a disgrace . Why can’t he return his wealth to its rightful owners, that way he may be will be saved. Or, wait!! He is too corrupt.
He had a past with Mobutu’s Zaire, I Think!, What does he want? Haiti has no Gold nor Diamond. Immoral and shameless man.

This is why the “Prosperity” gospel is heretical doctrine.

Robertson is correct about the huge disparities between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, but he is dead wrong about the reason. The Haitian side of Hispaniola is impoverished in large part because the island was deforested by loggers which led to the erosion of topsoil. According to Wikipedia, in 1923 over 60% of Haiti’s land was forested; by 2006, less than 2% was. Thus, it has been poor stewardship of the countries natural resources by the government that has led to the current state of affairs and not some supposed “pact with the devil”.

Give Dr Robertson a break! Take some time to read God’s “love ketter” to us, the Bible, and you will all see for yourselves what it means to sin against a Holy God. The Prophet Daniel in the Book by the same name, would continuously pray for the sins of his country. Maybe if we had done that, we would not be struck with President Obama and have to face judgement for his ungodly decisions.
Do like Dr Robertson and help the poor Haitian people. Jesus said the poor will always be with us.

I don’t have a problem with God, its his fan club…

I don’t mind religion…I do mind crazy…he’s off his rocker!

Pat is the devil himself in the cloak of a christian TV evangelist. It’s sick to know that psycho’s like him are allowed to pollute the airwaves and gloat upon the misery of the desperate group of innocent people such as the Haitians. Pat seems to be the devil worshiper himself and it’s time that people recognized the devil for whom he is.

Question: Is the Bible written for Christians? NO, it’s written for Jews. Is the Bible written for Americans? NO, there were only American Indians in those days, Jews didn’t have a clue there was a continent on the other side of the Atlantic. TRIVIA QUESTION, does the Bible say the Earth is flat? Therefore the Bible says nothing about Haiti, and Eve made the origional “pact with the Devil”, maybe that’s the real problem in Haiti, they are descendents of Eve.

Please tell me…show me where he says this is the reason Haiti is suffering…I only here the announcer saying such….Pat told the story of the pact…he no where says this is the reason for the earthquake….no where.

Is pat off of his Medication again?

Rush and Pat Robertson are one notch below a child molester.

All religion is rubbish. Robertson is a child in an old man’s body. Superstition rules his life.

“I don’t have a problem with God, its his fan club…”
Brilliant…I love it!

The man is clearly suffering from senile dementia. He’s surrounded by ostensible Christians who are supposed to care about him: why in the world isn’t he getting the medical attention he obviously requires?
-jcr

The Hatian people are hurting, hungry, homeless and afraid and all Pat and Rush can do is spew hateful rhetoric instead of asking their viewers and listeners to HELP! Pat, Rush, give hate a rest!

Please, please get this crazy man off the airwaves and into a home where he won’t annoy anyone with his crazy thoughts any more.

What’s wrong with some of you!? You decided God doesnt exist (and therefore the devil) and expect everyone else to follow you. pat may have a point. Haiti needs prayer to prevent not just teh earthquakes but even teh misery, teh sadness that looms over their country plus plus. Your ‘help’ dollars may put up buildings but teh nation NEEDS HEALING! Hearts, minds and teh society as a whole. BTW we in Africa think Pat Robertson has a serious point. We live teh reality ervyday and have seen what prayer can do for nations and what pacts with teh devil mean.
Stop displaying your ignorance of things you do not understand. Just hold your peace and giev what you can.

LOL! Time for old man Pat to retire to a retirement home. I do not believe in Legend’s. Next old man Pat Robertson will be having people believe that the Bible is a tale of Legends. Oh maybe it is a book of Legends!

Just sit back and watch Rush and Pat the spin masters spin themselves out this. Oh wait a minute they are not going to spin because they are speaking the truth from God’s inner sanctuary. But the God that they speak from is actually SATAN himself. That is the God that they worship on a daily basis. The God of racism and pure hatred. Rush and Pat may the GOD of LOVE save your miserable souls.

During Pat Robertson’s infrequent moments of lucidity, one of his aides should remind him that 45,000 Americans live and work in Haiti – a population the size of a small city. If he and his ilk need a selfish reason for helping the Haitians – that is it.

“And so the Devil said, ‘Okay, it’s a deal.’ ”
Wow. Pat can speak for God and the Devil!

I think you can remain agnostic over the existence of satanic pacts and still denounce Robertson’s statements. To say that a devastating earthquake and unimaginable suffering, not to mention poverty over hundreds of years, have befallen Haiti because of some pact its founding elders made with Satan is ridiculous. As others in this comment thread have rightly observed, have Satanic pacts led to all the other well-known earthquakes? Have all Satanic pacts caused all poverty everywhere? Famine (e.g., Ethiopia)? How about the Great Depression? Nonsense. And yet, to say it’s not possible to make a pact with the darkest “forces” of our mind, and that doing so won’t bring us and others harm, is equally small-minded.

People, the issue here is not about Pat Robertson, his state of mind, his personal religious beliefs, his past, or even his ministry for that matter.
Rather, the issue here is the acknowledgement of the existence of Good versus evil, God versus satan, and the enmity between God and satan. Both are very real – one has to face up to that. Those who don’t are the ones who are truly mislead.
Having said that, one needs to understand that satan, the evil one, is, as the Bible puts it, a liar, a deceiver and is indeed the father of all lies. He will do whatever he can to spread his evil work against mankind with whatever authority or right he is given by man – especially if it is given to him by means of some sort of pact, which, as far as Haiti is concerned, is seemingly more than just a myth or urban legend.
That being said and if there is any truth to the so-called pact with satan by Haiti, the result or consequence of such authority or right being given to satan will in no uncertain terms result in things like catastrophe, poverty, sickness, etc. It has nothing to do with a curse – it is simply satan taking what was rightfully and willingly given to him by choices made by man and he, in return, is doing with it exactly as he pleases – to hurt mankind and to defy God Almighty.
So instead of criticizing Pat Robertson or anyone else, why dont we rather just face up to the fact that we are all ultimately held accountable for the choices we make and are bound to suffer the consequences of the bad decisions we make and to enjoy the benefits of the good ones we make.
So instead, let us rather choose correctly – God or satan?
God says in His Word – “All who call upon the Name of the Lord will be saved!”

I want to take a history book and use it to beat this man over the head.
Part of the reason that Haiti is in such a bad economical state IS the DR, in the form of a man named Trujillo. Yeah, he wasn’t very Christian.
Please stop making the REAL Christians out there doing Jesus’ work by HELPING PEOPLE look bad, Mr Robertson.

Robertson is a phoney who has ripped off people who are seeking relief from life’s turmoils by following a fake bafoon. His comments are disgraceful. The devil will gladly greet this phoney when he croaks.

I am a Christian and I resent Pat Robertson’s self-righteous assessment as to why this tragedy hit Haiti. How about a healthy dose of compassion and aid for these people who are loved by God, Mr. Robertson? Otherwise shut your mouth.

Has everyone forgotten that 80% of the population of Haiti is Roman Catholic and the last time I checked, Roman Catholic = Christian? That being said, Pat needs to read his Bible, in particular, Matthew 7:1, 2. He also needs to remember that Christianity is based on forgiveness and that includes the Haitians, not just white, protestant Americans.
This is a human catastrophe that needs compassion, understanding and aid. Not Pat Robertson’s moral opinions.

It just makes you wonder not only about this backward hating person. But you really have to sit back and really hear what the church and the twisted right wing has to say about anything. No matter how much spin control they try to use this man should be pulled off the air waves.
Once again it’s the twisted right wing, look what they say about gay marriage how it’s going to kill this country? When over 20 other countries has it and there countries haven’t fallen apart.

The problem in Haiti is not a legendary, long ago pact with the devil. It is the usual problem with governments and uneducated populaces – the few maintain power and keep the masses poor, ignorant, and in emotional upheaval over minutiae while the powerful scrape off the profits. Then when a catastrophe inevitably happens, the comfortable beg for help from others because they won’t give up a dime out of their own pockets. The poor remain poor, and the rich get richer, while the rest of the world shakes its head and ‘feels sorry’, sending millions to pretend that they care, never addressing the REAL problem inherent not only in Haiti but in their own countries. And that problem is enforced and lauded ignorance, “Hakuna Matata”, live for today, the world owes you a living, ignorance is bliss. Robertson is as bad as our own current Congress, ensuring that people remain ignorant of what they can do for themselves by blaming the devil and other imaginary forces, insisting that only they can and will ‘save’ us all – the evil reality of which is that they themselves are part and parcel.

Keith Oberman said it BEST – he spewed everything you wish you could say to the face of Robertson. And, THANK YOU GMA for re-playing (this morning) his astute, perfect comments!

What’s scary is this guy once ran for president AND people voted for him.

It’s a coincidence that I heard about what Pat Robinson statement this morning. I was talking about the same subject with my friend last night. YES Haiti do serves satan. and so many revelation has been reveled about all the catastrophe in Haiti. Y’all don’t blame or curse on Pat Robinson like that, just live it to GOD. Haitians do aware of the pack that our ancestor made longggggg time ago. Haiti really need to turn FACE to GOD. I from Haiti, in the little city where I from has a specific date to celebrate a devil, even Haitians who live outside of Haiti pay a ticket every year to renew their vows with whatever kind of idol they serving. So to me its not new what PAT ROBINSON says. But I will be careful about stated that’s the cause of the earthquake, then again GOD can works in a mysterious that we can never understand.

I have personal experience with many of these so called ‘religious leaders’. Let me just say that unfortunately they end up adding their own definitions and meaning to the bible. It is so sad to see so many people brainwashed by the nonsense. I’ve told my true stories [of horrible comments made to me and in front of me from famous religious leaders]to other Christians and they can’t handle it. They simply don’t want to believe the real truth. I am still a Christian, but I have a personal relationship with God and will never again trust in these truly ungodly individuals. And STOP SENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY to these greedy individuals. Help great causes, but be careful who you trust your money to..Do you really want to pay for Franklin Graham to take his family on vacation to kill Grizzly Bears for sport (in an unpopulated area, where there are no risks or reasons to kill these beautiful creatures)? I know so many truths about these people that it just makes me sick to my stomach. The only reason they can keep the stuff secret is they use YOUR money to hush the truth. TRULY ABYSMAL !!!

I thought the bible said that Lord God causes the earth to quake when he is very mad.

Anyone who knows anything about these topics knows that there will never be a reason WHY. The biggest disaster that occurs in the world today is the temptation that man has to attempt to explain physical tragedy as spiritual manifestation. However true or false these statements are, no mortal has the right pronounce their beliefs that may cause others to agree, or disagree. This vain attitude is exactly why we have wars. Robertson will see personal tragedy on account of his loose tongue. That we should LOVE ONE ANOTHER is of the biggest concern, and the world is showing this in a big way towards our fellow men and women in the midst of this disaster. The man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and is leading people from the truth rather than promoting compassion . Even Jesus himself addressed Judas his betrayer as “friend”…. This man is marked.

Pat Robertson has always been a controversial speaker who claims he speaks for American Christians. I found out he was a man who really only has a personal agenda, whene he involved himself in politics and ran for president of the US.The bible clearly speaks to lovers of christ and of biblical principals as the scriptures say: You can not serve two masters! Being a politician in America serves man and the US government, which is not the same as serving the universal God who is not a respector of one nation over another. I am not surprised at all of his statements. Haiti has beautiful, caring, loving people and what ever God`s plan for getting the attention of all the worlds people,it is his will and command only. We can not judge or question the use of natural disasters by God as he already knows his plan for the worlds future. When he places the king of man at his throne,(Jesus) we will all know who will be in command of the world. In the mean time we are to practice God`s attributes and help one another everywhere on the earth in our times of need.

A poll I read once states that about 80 percent of Haitians are Catholic but that 90 per cent on the island of Haiti practice voodoo. What is that about? If you read your bible it says the unseen world is more real than the seen world-meaning when you deal with Satin and his demons you OPEN THE DOOR to curses,and the dark side of satanic practices. SO when many of those Hurricans came they passed though other islands but each time more people were always killed in Haiti. The same with the earthquake– satanic rituals and practices opens you up for bad things to happen. No god did not do it–witch craft did it. I am a Christian born again .Read the bible it is right there .You may not want to believe it but Pat Robinson is telling the truth.

Why does this man get any air time or press? He’s a flake. The only reason the media keeps replaying his remarks is because they want to claim he somehow represents Republicans, or conservatives. He does not!

I 100% agree with Pat Robertson’s statement. For years we’ve heard alot of voodoo practiced in Hati which is demonstrative. Also Hati has alot of Roman Catholics who say Hail Mary prayer. The bible does not say pray to Mary. The bible says pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Praying to Mary is idolatry. I don’t judge the Hatians becuz Lord knows I have my own sin to turn from but the Lord God will bring judgment against wickedness & evil. He will not be mocked. The bible says that one might suffer in the flesh that the spirit might be saved. This means God will bring calamity in one’s life that they might call out to Christ. So yes I absolutely 100% agree with Pat Robertson’s comments.

we as christians are responsible for these things. the Lord allows things to happen, but it our responsibility as followers of Jesus to make a difference in this world. to feed to poor, take care of the widows, help the homeless, addicts, fornicators, adulterers, the lost..tell them about grace and hope and love and peace that only Jesus can give.. show them Jesus thru the way we conduct ourselves and live our lives. NOT condemning people or countries or islands. i pray the holy spirit will convict pat robinson’s heart. solomon said that someone who is quick to speak is a fool. but, realistically, pat robinson is human. we all say stupid things from time to time…i know i do.

Dear Gus Legloom,
I agree with your blog in relation to American politicians. Congress, The Senate & The House Of Represenatives all have personal agenda`s and special interest groups making them rich. Do they really serve the people of America? I think not. If America`a politicians do not change their actions, then we too will follow the rest of the world`s countries who have allowed their people to suffer and become repressed, while they remain rich and selfish, all the while claiming it`s for the people! Where are the American people now? Our country is a mess! If the politicians of both parties would truly put it`s people first,we could then be a great example to the rest of the world of how a country and it`s government can grow and prosper equally. Unfortunately, corporate greed and special interest funding is a temtation our politicians have not been able to walk away from. If they did, they may truly learn how to govern the people. How sad that the youngest country of the world (US) has fallen prey to greed and power and become an embarresment world wide. Wake up America`s politicians, before we too become a fallen nation beyond repair.
Example: Have you heard on the news of any American politicians having their home forclosed upon? Do our politicians juggle not having enough money to feed their families or go to the doctors when they are sick? I think not. This health care reform bill is the best example of American politicians being paid off by the Insurance Companies, Pharmaceutical Companies all fighting to keep everything AS IS.

I wonder if Pat Robertson isn’t the antichrist the bible speaks of?

What a sad, jealous, petty little creature these people have invented as their god. He’s a stereotyped villain from a Harry Potter book, skulking around putting curses on developing nations.
Although it’s unlikely that these people believe their own lie. Scammers don’t fall for their own spiel.

This (and the comments below) are why the whole world laughs at America. What an unbelievably backward, small-minded, self-important nation……..

The Bible often cites earthquakes as an outward sign of God’s wrath.

There are lots of counrties that worship the devil in many ways, even in America…….. Pat robinson is no christian….. shame on you!

After reading people’s comments I believe that there is still hope for America. I do not support any party or religion. But I do believe that there is something special in the universe. Call it God or a spiritual force. Hopefully one day Rush and Pat figure it out. Until then all you out there keep fighting the good fight. “It is better to die standing, than to live on your knees.” Live by this motto and you will be true to yourself and to all life on earth. God or the spiritual force watch over Haiti, us, and especially people like Rush and Pat.

Media is distorting what Pat said. To ignore the spiritual side of such matters is deception…but deception is unperceived by those under its spell. Sad. Pat said we should pray for revival and we should do this in addition to donations.
I’m really sorry those that jump on Pat are deceived…but Rev 12:9 says the “whole” world is deceived by the devil.

Mr. Robertson, maybe hit nail on the head, I’m not a disciple of Roberson he resigned his cloth to run for president, and when he failed he run right back and picked it up again, just like the Haitians, you either serve God or Satan he tried to serve Both. Politics hung CHRIST on the cross Mr. Robertson should have known that, Christ stayed away from politics completely. When asked if payed taxes, tribute, cast a line and take from the fishes mouth and pay for thee and me, no politics involve.

God,protect us from your followers….

Pat turns up at every disaster, the money pours in, Pat gets richer.
There is no room in this terrible situation for history lessons or moralising.
Please remember this when donating to Oxfam, Unicef, Redcross etc.

Why would God curse Haiti and not curse every European Nation for their role in the transatlantic slave trade. What Europeans call a deal with the devil was an African Ritual of Prayer…I suppose the only way those negroes could defeat the good white folks of France is with the help of the Devil. Let me ask this question, if the Devil gave and blessed impoverished people their freedom and God blessed the oppressors and abusers with prosperity and wealth…which one is exactly evil?? Should I worship a merciless God one who rewards the sinners and oppressors while punishing the poor and oppressed? If what Pat Robertson says is true then Christianity is spun from the Devil himself disguised as a blessing from God!!!

question for Pat,
What was the cause of the Italian earth quake in L’Aquila 2009 that caused the death of hundreds?

I think it’s not logic to say it. It’s true Haiti use to serve in Vaudou and it’s not positive for Haiti, but a natural trouble is just natural and sometimes scientific.
The pastor could also confirm that Indonesia, Inde, Japan who had this kind of problems before also made a pact with Satan!
Pastor Pat, I think you should think in a different way as a person who receive an academic degree!

There are people in Haiti practicing voodoo/withcraft everyday. I live in Miami, FL and they are doing it here too. We hear about it all the time. It is no secret. Satin is real just like God is real. The problem is Satin can only produce evil/ whereas God produces only good. People make their own choices and sadly if affects family,kids,and generations. If a father abandons his family or someone has a genetic disease-it can affect generations. So don’t tell me what someone did years ago cannot affect people living today. Every choice you make has a consequence.

“What was the cause of the Italian earth quake in L’Aquila 2009 that caused the death of hundreds?”
I’m sure that Pat Robertson would be the first person in line to blame this on Italy’s faults.

What has happened….happened,the past is past,the present is now.. and it’s the only thing we can control.What happens in the future depends on what we do today. .Instead of blaming someone else including God…fix it and do the right thing.While your at it fix yourself ,it’s the only thing on earth you CAN control.I spend time daily thinking on how can I correct my wrongs. If I continue to look at me and not others I’ll be so busy I won’t have time to judge and correct others.Forget why just help.

Pat Robinson is a hateful moron. I don’t understand why this person who calls himself “a man of god” would say such things. I guess its the “Christian” way of doing things.

Many persons read hitory and religious concepts and mis interpret both incorrectly.Many christians are mean and disgusting in their attitude and behavior towards others.King James had slaves in the New World while he translated the Bible into English. Hence there are verses like: Do good to those who hate you and love those who despitefully use you. Did he make a pact with the devil to enslave inocent people Mr. Robertson?

Okay the Dominican Republic is impoverished. The majority of the people in the DR live extremely impoverished lives. They are only slightly better off than Haiti because they have resorts and an economy based on tourism. Haiti has been on a US No Tavel List for years,which is not helping it’s economy. If Mr. Robertson believes that DR is flourishing, can he tell me why Dominicans are sneaking into this country by way of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Haiti is in disarray due to decades of corrupt leadership by the Duvaliers and that is all. Jesus get a history book people

Pat Robertson is the same person who blamed the 9-11 attaches on abortion, gays and numerious other walks of life.
He a moron and should not be taken as aserious person . HE has an agenda.

I think you are all nuts. There is no god or devil and the earth’s plates shift no matter what. They been doing it for millions of years long before man was here. Oh wait minute… you little brains think the earth is only 6000 years old. Never mind then.

you people that will blindly believe in Robertson or God or the devil and do not believe in Santa should wake up and get a real life. Quakes happen all the time since the earth is still shrinking and cooling and it’s been going on for millions of years and no amount of praying in going to make it stop. Praying is just blame game and fear and guilt trip and a crutch for those that fear the church that has control over you. Wake up people and help each other.

Of course I believe God is good. But come on people. He is a just God. If we are to believe HE created us and the earth. Then God is in control of everything and everybody. and nothing happens unless he allows it. We dont have to see the reason ,just believe that he knows what he does.

I support Pat. I believe he is right in what he is saying. in the bible God destroyed a complete city because of the gays. He flooded the earth to cleanse it of sin. the problem with Christians today is they only want to pick and choose what the bible says. It it steps on toes then lord lets it is wrong. The problem today is everybody wants to turn it to the racist issue. That country practices all kinds of voodoo which is satanic. It is a country that never helped it self always looking for a handout. The president sickens me, not because he is black but because we have people in our own country that are starving to death and living on the streets. we have people dieing of cancer because we dont give enough to finding a cure, our schools are suffering because of all the cutbacks, but hey lets throw 130 million to another country. Why not half of that amount. Would he done that if it was an all white country. I’m not the racist it is the blacks of this country that is racist. We have a president because of the color of his skin.

I’m haitian I happened to be Christian I don’t believe how this jerk can say such a think. Knowing most of the haitian are religious people. hopping no one comes to your churh. you are one Ediot,you were supposse to be a God’s man. get a life.

What an idiot.
This is the type of fervor that justifies the entire world’s view us the US population.
What Al Queada is to Islam – Pat Robertson is to Christianity.
Only an idiot would makes such accusations and blastphamus claims.

ABC: You do NOT need to post this baloney. Not at a time like this. What purpose does this serve? Did you post pieces about how we deserved 911? Or Katrina? Shame on you ABC.

In a 2003 CNN.com story we learn that Preacher of Judgement, Pat Robertson has had his prostate removed.
Did Pat Robertson experience a judgement from God the same way he claims Haiti has?
The sad tale of Robertson’s loss of this seminal gland has a long history. You see, about 50 years ago (or maybe longer) Pat Robertson made a pact with the devil. This pact may not have been an articulated statement of allegiance to Satan but Robertson’s work reveals where his allegiance lies. Pat relentlessly propagates that Satan is real and has powers like God. Perhaps God decided to enact a judgment on Robertson for his claim that shows there are two Gods. Now Robertson roams the earth, seeking who he might devour with his odd logic and without a prostate. His hope seems to be that if you and I fear God’s judgement enough and quake at the possibility of becoming a child of the Devil, then we will honour Pat’s God the way Pat says we should.
The historical underpinnings of Pat’s pact with the devil goes something like this. Robertson became a preacher, Robertson became a bigger preacher, and Robertson decided to propagate the ancient myth that Satan has a lot of the same powers as God. Robertson then seemingly pacted to let the entire world know that Satan is out to get them and so is God. Robertson now throws his interpretation of world catastrophes up in the air and they seem to squarely land in the realm of Pat’s two-God battle. As a pact maker with the devil, Pat Robertson should take a look in the mirror long enough to see that he may have been judged by God and the tragic loss of his prostate could be a judgement from God. Perhaps God is trying to tell Pat to stop sowing his unmitigated judgment into the minds of unwitting believers. Hey Pat, sorry about the loss of your prostate….Perhaps you might consider turning from your Two-God religious dogma of judgement and take a break from telling the world about their past sins to see that you perhaps have been judged by the same measure.

now, now Bible scholars, devout Christians,God-fearing men: Wasn’t a commission sent by God Himself to see if there were any people who really loved one another and who was willing to shed the coat off his back to cover the naked? The answer lies in everyone of us for,YES. there is GOD.

Thanks egavas!!
Do some research!!
Then PRAY!!

I am truly amazed that a Christian would make such cruelly ignorant, unloving and judgmental comments about a people who are suffering. All because of a story from a long time ago!
It amazes and scares me that such a man is considered a leader. I just hope his followers have more sense than he does.

I just read a comment posted on another site. If his comments were taken out of context or twisted (as the media seems to love doing) then I take back my attack and place it with whoever is responsible for such irresponsible and dangerous behaviour.

egavas1022, more white people were TRICKED into voting for this president. They were lead to believe he was going to make GOOD changes. And YES he has done worse. In fact he has done the worst job of any president so far. But that is his role. Just like Judas had to report the whereabouts of Christ. Obama’s actions speak louder than his eloquant words and white and black people are waking up from the stupor the democratic party has put over the people. Too bad most of you needed a BRICK the size of Texas to wake you up! LOL

TK I believe in a spiritual being. I don’t believe in men or women because they are human beings who simply are not perfect and make mistakes. Some big ones and some little ones. But BUSH CRIME FAMILY are not imperfect beings. They calculated evil beings who would sell their souls to the highest bidder. 99.999% of politicians and so call religious preachers are one notch below child molesters. So wake up and get real.

Pat Robinson you and your Al-queda God are alike.

Haiti was kept down by the super powers in the 1800 because Haiti fought for their freedom. As a result they refuse to acknowledge Haiti as a country.
SO WHO MADE THE PACK WITH THE DEVIL?

I would not want to be a part of any God who is as evil as Osama Bin-laden.

I’ve never heard of Robertson prior to this January’s earthquake, and I don’t know what he’s all about, but I hate it when people misrepresent or inappropriately identify the Christian population. From listening to and reading about the situation I learned that in that very same interview Robertson did offer both prayer and compassion for Haiti and although he may not have sugar-coated his opinion about a possible explanation for the situation, (which is based on an age-old legend, regardless of its veracity), he was expressing what he believed and he happens to have the stage to do it.
God is a loving God, and is also a Father to us, which is why he punishes us for wrongdoing (just like our dads, guys). The problem, however, is that we are all humans and we all screw things up – even ministers (if that’s what Robertson is) – and while many people may continue believing that this was just a stupid statement made by a stupid man, recognize that he’s still just human. I believe that rather than trying to be a ***, he thought he might be reaching a soul or two by highlighting what he saw as wrong in the situation. Maybe cut the guy some slack, he’s still scheduled to make a hefty contribution.

And what is it exactly that Christianity’s founder desired for Christians?
Christianity is based solely on being a follower of Christ. In that following, one is typically committed to being obedient to the commandments of God while submitting to God’s sovereignty in his/her life. In that submission one benefits from becoming more Christlike.
I don’t agree that Robertson was misusing his ‘religion’ by preaching inaccurate words in this particular instance. Again, I emphasize, I’d never so much as heard of Robertson prior to these events (I do not like televangelists because I believe that for much of them, their ministry is distorted by the need to constantly reach the masses). However, in Robertson’s case I can see that he does actually have compassion for the people of Haiti, he just expressed more than what most people want to hear right now. I truly don’t believe his intent was to be unloving. The fact that he petitioned prayer and is contributing resources supports my belief that his opinion was said in love. It may seem unloving in the same way that a father might say, “I told you not to go into the street and now, look, your favorite skateboard got run over”. It sounds like daddy’s being a butt head and you run to mommy, but the reality is, he cared, and he warned you beforehand. (switching back to my point) God warns about putting anything in our lives before him and when we do so He judges us for that. I hate to see people die, and I hate to see nations destroyed for ANY reason, but the fact of the matter is, I nor anyone on this post created this earth and we are not God. God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants – whether it seems good, bad, hurtful, or angering to us. I believe Robertson was trying to highlight that point to us, but the message was definitely not received in love.
Although most people (Christians, included) love to say Jesus was so “meek and mild,” Jesus was pretty hard core, too. This is the same divine man who threw over tables when folks were selling in the temple dedicated to His heavenly Father.
The purpose of my second post is to convey to Christ-followers and nonbelievers alike that understanding a system is better than simply condemning it. I understand why some people choose not to believe in a higher power – it’s downright hard to believe in something without tangible evidence. I also respect their decision not to believe. I am a Christ-follower and I love every single person on this post with a brotherly love regardless of the differences we may share. I believe that God created each of us and gave each of us a free will to either believe in and serve Him or not. Shame on you fellow Christians on this post for talking down to some of the nonbelievers on this post. The fact of the matter is that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess. We can share and spread the message, but if we are not Pastors or Ministers it is not our duty to point where others have disobeyed. We have to be the light in the world, the salt of the earth, and how can we do that if everyone hates us?

He is a lunatic; either that or he is the devil!!!

To unkowning and Regina what does. Obama have to do with helping people. We always help other countries in need.Obama is half white so you must hate yourself.the same you judge others is the same way you will be judge.read your Bible!

I read the statement. Poor taste of words after such devastation. This is why people have such negative views of people like him

I cannot believe you guys are here arguing over this crazy comment this man made. If anything you need to be trying to figure out what are you going to do to help these people of this unfortunate tradegy. This may help. Put yourself in their shoes. What if it was you right in the same situation? What would you want people to do? Okay, hopefully, your thought have changed afgter asking yourself that question. Act Now and let God deal with those with no wisdom!

What people conveniently forget due to Biblical ignorance is that Almighty God of the Bible isn’t only love…He is also Judge, Jury and Executioner. He does what He wants, being Sovereign. We are in the end of the age. Jesus Christ warned about the increase of earthquakes in various places. Perhaps Haitians will repent of their occult practices and turn to the Living Lord. More often than not we humans are so pig headed that we need drastic wake up calls to get us on the right path.

We should not speculate about why this disaster happened. I am certain that God truly loves the people of Haiti (and all human beings) and wants all of us to come into closer relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. No matter the cause, God can and will use this terrible disaster to bring about good. The question we should ask ourselves, is whether we will get on board with the Lord and act as Christ’s hands and feet to help these people and show them God’s great compassion and love in their time of need. Let us all pray that God would heal the nation of Haiti, and let us allow the Spirit of God to work in us to help those affected by this earthquake and the millions of others in Haiti plagued by poverty, disease, and hunger.
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:19-24
May God bless the Haitian people and all of us through His unfailing lovingkindness and tender mercies. In the name above all names, Jesus Christ, Amen.

wow, i just read some of the previous statements…
i’m talking to the wrong damned people
if you’ve never heard of this man before, don’t open your mouth
if you think the church should have absolute power, read about the inquisition and the dark ages
if you just think the pig is right, do us all a favor and jump
thank you, this has been a public service announcement to benefit humans accessing the internet

Idiotic person, hope he meets his own devils.

Unbelieveable! Who is this Pat Robertson? Compassionate? Ambassador for Christianity? Infants, Children, Old People, Disabled. Young minds who reach out for help do not need PR’s comments!

I totally agree with Pat Robertson. How can we, as children of God, live in sin and have amoral lives and expect Him to bless us? We as a nation and world have been given opportunities time and again to turn back to The Lord and we ignore His calling. It is an absolute travesty what is going on in Haiti and I feel for the families and people over there but when 50% of your nation are practicing vood-doo and the occult, what do you expect?

I’ve always thought Pat Robertson was insane, and now I believe he’s dangerous. I think he says things just to stir the pot and rile everyone up. He and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly can all go to hell. Oh, that’s right, there is no hell. There’s no heaven either. It’s just a clever ruse to keep all of your small minds in check.

Satan was an angel before he got cast down from heavens I think it’s people like he is that believe in Satan and cloud this with bible teachings that is why i hate man made religion and am non practising catholic also how do we know bible is exctly what God wrote as far as i am concerned it was writen by humanbeings to justify their own prejudices

Sorry I meant that I agree with Brooke, not AnnaW

I don’t care what others say or think about Mr. Pat Robertson all i know is that he is right scripturally and if you notice most poor and suffering nations are those who worship idols and doing oresha,obeah and shango acts which is dealing with the devil.
God said is either you love one and hate the other .Can’t want to play with fire and don’t expect to get burn i feel very sorry for the people of HAITI but when God pours out judgement he don’t care who it falls on. He is tired and sick of this generation it’s a stink in his nostril. HOMOSEXUALITY,DEVIL WORSHIPPING and lots more are absurb. Read Romans 1. (KVJ version)
We are living in the END time. REPENT !!, For God is getting ready to usher more judgment most Americans don’t believe and they are very disrespectful towards the bible and do almost anything contrary to what God wants. And what’s this BIG TALK about if God would allow the earthquake and a archbishop die. Aint the archbishop human is he immortal? everybody got to go some how or the other. If Jesus had to die who is the archbishop? huh.
Pat don’t apologize you owe these people no favors. STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE, and remember all children of God has enemies

The Bible says to get the log out your own eye before trying to get it out anothers. Pat is an insane old man. His theories come from a legend in 1791. LoL Google it! He always puts his foot in his mouth.

Napoleon the 3rd was French’s leader in the 1850S for your info Mr. Robinson. Bonaparte was there until 1815. Just a clarification.

The Bible repeats over and over that every event, including natural disasters, is under God’s control and works perfectly for His purpose. When something like this happens, a Christian should ask why. Why did God in His perfect love do this? There must be a really good explanation. And if you have retained some ability to think critically and spend a minute googling Haiti, you will find out that the country is one of the world’s dominant centers or evil cults like woodoo. Yet we prefer to close our eyes to the truth because we feel sorry for the people.
This story made it very clear how few true Christians are. Those “Christians” who are outraged by Robertson’s comments don’t even bother to open the Bible and base their ignorant opinions exclusively on their worldly upbringing. Sad and scary.

Who are all of you self-righteous people, who in the name of God set yourselves up to be SO JUDGEMENTAL? No matter what the Bible says, Haitians are still human beings that are suffering. You think God did this to punish them… are you serious??? Then why hasn’t he just gotten rid of anyone on this earth who isn’t worshiping him according to the way YOU self-righteous people think. I refuse to worship a God that is that hateful and destructive. Natural disasters are just that… our ever changing beautiful earth. How rude all of you are. I agree with Jean Sunlay;Pat Robertson is a VERY SAD MAN. If your children were misbehaving, would you cause some natural disaster to do them in? Well don’t think you’re better than our almight God. Good lord already!

My opinion:
I think he has a right to his own opinion. It seems everyone wants judge him for his choice of words. Those who blame christians for their reason of not believing, you decided to not believe before he stated this. Why blame him now?
On the other hand
God is a God of Love and Judgment, if there is some biblical truth to Pats saying’s, who knows if there is, or if its not. God wants to be the only God. He will cause a “wake up call” event to happen to get them back to him. Now that’s love.
If the prophesies are true, there are going to be those who are deceived, those who actually believe every word out of the mouth of God and those who choose the way of the anti-Christ, sad but that’s what it says!
If the hot seat was on your tail for saying what you believed, what would you do?

This story just reveals the utter ignorance of Christianty. American Society (pop culture) ect… brandished once again their own warped sense of morality against God on how Pat Robinson commented on this story. It is history!! Then of course comes the revisionist history and then comes the ignorant.
Ironically God will do more through Pat Robinson for the Haitens than any of you will who commented negatively toward Pat Robinson.
Of course ignorance goes marching on. And the gods you profess do not exist except in your mind. That is what is devastating!!

Has anyone actually LOOKED at how christianity started???? Molestation of a young girl, a pregnancy she was INFORMED of, for the purpose of MURDER……hmmmmmmmmmm she was given NO free will of choice……it’s always been and always will be a matter of CONTROL…..where was gods love from the beginning????

He truly is a prophet of God. People better realize it, before it is too late. He is no different from the OT prophets who invited people to repent and return to God.

Pat Robertson IS the Devil. He’s not fooling me.

For the christians out there… what right do you have to judge? That is God’s job not yours. No one knows why he made the earthquake but him. Perhaps it is a test for us, not a punishment for those of Haiti. Also if you would take the time and effort to do a little research before making uninformed comments you would know that Voodoo is not an evil cult. There is merely a different idea of worship than your religous path. Lastly let’s not forget the meaning of God’s creation of the Rainbow!
And to think I’m not even christian!

Look arguing about the word of God is like arguing about politics.. please!!! stop just know God is a good God and he will do what he wants when he wants why. because he is elohim the creatior of of universe so plese.. stop slandering him he is the Great i am .. and for the christians thats listening to this mess against mr robinson dnt worry Jesus said we will b persecuted for his name sake.. must Jesus bare the cross alone and all the world go free .. every knee will bow and every toung mus confess. just wait he coming like athief n the night..

Maybe we, as Christians should also remember that we need to show a little grace to those who may or may not know what their talking about. It hurts me to see Christians beating up Christians.

foolishness. Absolutely nothing was wrong with his comments, he’s spoken some truth and did not say that that was the reason behind the disaster…the world however has a problem with truth so that’s the problem. However before the disaster he was helping there…where were u?? so before you talk do something…he’s been doing stuff from before…i pray 4 u.

I thought Pat Robertson was just narrating a story about Haiti’s past. He did not invent the story…nor did he add anything to the story. So, what is wrong with what he said? I work in Brooklyn, NY and my friends from the caribbean also know about this story about Haiti. They said that up to now, a lot of people there still practice voodoo.

Pat Robertson is a nut and anybody that follows him needs to relook at their christian beliefs. Read the bible, where does Hate come into it. Need to talk to a Purple Teletubby! Get a life. I am a reformed homosexual from the 700 Club.

I guess when you want freedom it is called making a pack with the devil? This isn’t & won’t be the last dumb remark he makes.
* In 2004 he said Black people won’t vote unless you have a nominee name bubba (they voted for Kerry he’s name wasn’t bubba.
* In 2005 9/11 happened because of GOD, now this.
* Even if there was any truth to this story. God is a loving God and he doesn’t fight against the oppressed he fights with the oppressed. God would not have little kids out in the cold at night in pain crying out for their mothers and fathers.
* Facts 80% of the Haiti government are Christians & that’s per fox news. God says confess your sins and they may be forgiven, so whatever happened years ago God has forgiven.Pat should get on his knees and confess his sins for opening up his mouth.

I have heard it all. You know how can anyone say that the reason the earthquake happened is because they made a deal with the devil. If that is the case, then that is between them and God, not for us to point fingers, if it true. Why is it Christians have the need to point fingers to all those that don’t follow them. First of all, ones walk with God is personal, I highly doubt God was like, send a earthquake to show them what they are doing is wrong. It makes me sad that anyone could even consider saying something like that. Find me someone that is not a sinner at all. “1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1, NKJV)
As of the post from LMM about how Christianity started, you better get your facts right and if that is what you say happened, then please give something that backs that up. People that post things on here that try to put down religions should really educate themselves first before sounding ignorant, even some of the Christians that post things that they have no idea what they are talking about. These are the reasons people are disgusted with religions, to many saying it’s this way or that way. Maybe if we just stop listening to what man says and listen to the silent voice of God within us, this world would he a better place.

all these crazy people that think they know every thing must must be followers of Binny Henn

I agree with Pat Robertson, God did not cause the earthquake to show the Haitians who is boss. It was Satan who did this to them, in other words, it was time to pay up, and the price was their souls. Centuries ago when they needed help to rid the “French” they turned to Satan for help. He helped them in exchange for a price that would come centuries later. For those who understand to save themselves they must turn to Jesus for forgiveness and he will open their eyes so that they can see why these things happened to them.

What a bunch of morons.
The quake that rocked Haiti wasn’t the work of the devil, it was the work of plate tectonics, like every other earthquake in the history of this planet. Maybe if you fundamentalist sheep would actually crack open a book other than “My Little Bible,” you’d actually learn something.
“A pact with the devil” had nothing to do with the liberation of Haiti. The Haitian Revolution that lasted from 1791 to 1803, led by Toussaint L’Ouverture did that, a prolonged struggle led by people who believed in freedom. To ascribe any truth to the ridiculous fairy tale espoused by Robertson does a disservice to the brave men and women who laid down their lives for the cause of freedom, ad is a slap in the face to the victims of the current tragedy.
Anyone who supports Robertson’s spew should be ashamed of themselves, and should immediately turn in their Bibles, as they have obviously relinquished all rights to be called a Christian. go join another hate group, you band of ignorant idiots.

This is unbelievable who stupid the people in this world have become. You are resorting to medieval ways and blaming problems because someone made a pact with the devil, do you understand how utterly stupid that sounds. i believe in god and i believe he can help you through anything in life but saying that thousands of people died cause of a pact with devil is just plain idiotic.

None of the people who have died and are suffering in Haiti made a pact with the devil. Where is the justice of a Perfect God in this?

(SAM) Mary wasn’t asked, she was informed; and was told it would lead to his death, all planned by god. Was a devout christian for years. Always accepting, never questioning what I was TOLD(or outside the bible). Why does “God” know your every move, action, thought?… because you’re pre programmed(no free will there) BUT I always studied and questioned. NOW, I see things as they are….

It is interesting how the worldly people continue to attach and character assinate true men of God who preach the unmitigated truth of the Gospel. But, we are not surprised for Jesus said if they do this to me they will do it to you also. Jesus is still the Word and the Word speaks plenty of both the devil’s designs and the Plan of God for Man. The world did not believe Noah, but laughed at the Ark built on high ground. The worldly people also do not believe in the Promise of Abraham either. Nor does the worldly people want to be redeemed from he curse so that the Blessing of Abraham may come to them. When Adam sold out and committed high treason in the Garden of Paradise, He made a pact with the Devil also and the land became cursed to the point that God destroyed it in the flood. And don’t forget that God both opened the Red Sea for believers and closed it upon the unbelievers! Some of you are very ignorant people concerning God’s Plan for Man. AMEN!

we need to help haiti and all that are in missouri
The batle ground is your mind because that is what desides who you are, God and his angels hope that you will chose for the Good and satan and his angels hoping you will either ignore Gods offer or just commit to him in his evil be it smal or big be it a hurtfull word or a act, a mollest or a bom. just evil. he is okay with that . satan knows his time is running out and he is up to worse things and yes some worse things will happen before God comes back to clean up the mess satan made . God will bring an end to his act of evil and those that suported or agreed by ignorance with satan. read the final book of the bible revaltion, and if you don’t believe that to….. watch the news and the final events you can’t run you are part if it. if you are still a life..your choice is free
There is hope for those who choose God !

The God I know is a righteous judge and if you read the books of Lev, Num, and Deut you will see that God judges nations, generations, and individuals. We as nations need to repent (turn away from our own ways, sin, and wickedness to God) and make sure our hearts are turn to the true and living God which is JESUS. As an ambassador of God we can judge sin according to the word. It is not I who judge but IT IS GODS WORD that does the judging.

Shame on you Pat Robertson!

To call himself a Reverend is much more than he deserves. He is fool and should be treated like any other fool, ignored. There is only one power, and one presence and that power and presence is God. If he thinks God would punish a people and a country for some crazy wives tale clearly shows his level of intelligence.

From God to Pat Robertson
You Pharisee! How quickly you forget the simplest lesson. Do you not remember the rainbow, and my promise to never mass murder in the name of divine wrath? Gen 9:8-17
You viper (Matthew 12:34). You kill with the venom of hypocrisy and false teachings.
Do you not read my entire word? What of Col 3:12 – where is your compassion? I would remind you of Matthew 7:21-23. I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoer!.

Hey Jake, how about an apology and retraction? At no point did Dr. Robertson actually blame the earthquake on “a pact to the Devil”. Dr. Robertson never stated that the earthquake was God’s wrath. If you watch the entire video segment, Dr. Robertson’s compassion for the people of Haiti is clear. He called for prayer for them.
In getting the story wrong, YOU are guilty of the very thing YOU accused Robertson of doing: taking advantage of a human tragedy to further YOUR own ends. At the end of the day Jake, you are in the great company of other great liberal fabricators such as Alan Colmes, Rich Shapiro, John Cook and Mike Potemra. All of you were wrong in your Headlines and story’s. You should be ashamed!

I CANT BELIEVE PAT ROBERTSON SAID SUCH AN IGNORANT THING!!!SO WHAT DID THE PEOPLE IN CALI DO EVERYTIME THERES AN EARTHQUAKE THERE?ITS CALLED A NATURAL DISASTER PEOPLE PAT ROBERTSON IS A LOONY TOON SEND HIM SOME MONEY THATS ALL HE WANTS I DONT BELIEVE IN A RICH MINISTER !!!THERE SHOULD BE NO SUCH THING.WHAT DID ALL THE COUBTRIES DO THAT THE TSUNAMI HIT??TRUTH IS THERE WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SO MUCH DEATH IF THEIR BUILDINGS HAD BEEN BUILT MORE STURDY BUT IN A POORER NATION LIKE THAT THEY CANT AFFORD THE THINGS THEY NEED TO MAKE STURDIER BUILDINGS SO THEY FALL AND PEOPLE DIE ITS SO SAD THAT THEIR BEING JUDGED AT THIS TIME OF GREAT NEED THEY NEED COMPASSION NOT JUDGEMENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

What does the so-called pact of 1791 have to do with the Haitian people of today? What happened to the christian god being forgiving? Pat Robertson, you are an earthquake sized EGGHEAD!

So is 911 a punishment to America for the millions of babies that are killed in the united States. Maybe God is punishing us for our own sins as well! No sin goes unpunished whether vodoo, rape, abortion, murder, lying cheating Wall street thieves,!
all must pay for their sins!\\ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
I attend churches that are most prejudiced. The white churches keep down the black people making them work much harder for promotion. the black churches keep down the white people, refusing them the opportunity to use their gifts in singing country music or whatever way they worship god according to their culture. The world and the church has departed from God, and ‘NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO POINT A FINGER !”

Robertson has the brain of a pygmy, the man is a disgrace to a civilised country.

Pat, this is a natural disaster! This has nothing to do with a pact with satan. Remember, the Bible says “the soul who sins will die” We, haitians people, can not pay for what our ancestors do. There are millions of christians in Haiti that fear God and serve him faithfully. God did not cause this to happen but may allow it to happen for the good… No country in the world including USA is free from a fallen world which include natural catastrophe. No country is exempt from that. For we all have sinned and fall short before God.

And finally, it is a fact that countries that have a strong R.C. presence also seem to be very much in poverty. I would challenge the RC community around the world to tithe 10% of their income to relief agencies in Haiti, and you know something: there would be no poverty in about 1 month. No money for indulgences or church renovations – just money for out right charity.

if what pat said was true then i am pretty sure that while he was there a building would also collapse on him and injure him too. I’m not wishing something bad on him but what he said was wrong he’s a priest he should be praying for the Haitian not putting curses on them.

I believe that God is always in control. There is also times when he allows things to happen for whatever reason. The Haiti crisis is very bad and very saddening. I just pray that the people get all the help they need and that God spares my country and people from the same fate. As for Pat’s views, it really is irrelevant cause what are we doing to help instead of criticising each others views. By the way, a Christian is expected to judge a badly behaving fellow Christian, but with love. See 1 Cor 5:11-13. Non Christians are off limits.

These comments remind me of the way people get along in the church. Do we all beat each other over the head with scripture to prove we are right? Shame on all of you!I thought it was the sword of the spirit. Part of our protective armour. Used as well to win souls?? Wow if you want scripture maybe a reminder of James and taming the tongue would be in order.

Uhhh, I was thinking something like, “The sun shines on the just and unjust alike.” – Matthew 5:45. Metaphoring for the idea of God being benevolent and harsh to everyone.

It’s even more disturbing to know millions listen to this man.

WHY WOULD A MAN OF GOD SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT ANY PEOPLE in a crisis. The bibles says “GOD IS LOVE WE ARE TO LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, SOUL, MINE, & LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS OURSELVES”. WHAT BIBLE DO THIS MAN READ. HE IS A SAD OLD WHITE MAN WITH HIS HEART FAR FROM THE LOVING GOD HE CLAIMS TO KNOW.

I just go by the Bible 100%. He says he will punish those who goes against him down to the 3rd and 4th generations. And if they continue 3 and 4 more generations. It just keeps continuing until they destroy themselves.
I do believe Pat is a man of God and he tells it like it is. The truth cuts like a knife and people gets so offended by the truth because they don’t live by the truth. I think God is trying to wake us up, just read your Bible and it tells us plainly what is going to happen. It’s happening just like he said it would happen. Slowly but surely his words are coming to pass. America WAKE UP! The more we take JESUS out of our country we had better be looking out, punishment will be coming our way.He is just probably letting off a little steam with America, before the big blow. I really believe Katrina was just a little bit of steam. His punishment will be lots worse than that. The reasons for all this is it’s all coming toward the end.
JESUS was persecuted and so will his true followers. I’m sure Pat expected all these bad insults he is receiving because most of the world just don’t understand and don’t want to understand. The pleasures of this world means more to them than their very on souls. Tell it like it is Pat!

The real curse is Pat Robertson.

To Richard and Pat,
I have been challenged recently in the wake of the Haiti earthquake and the mass suffering the countries inhabitants have been through. This is the second time I have been challenged by a natural disaster of this proportion since the Tsunami in Sri Lanka and the New Orleans flooding.
My faith and my bible knowledge have been tested and once again, I have been faced with many questions regarding where is God in all of this.
Two things that really disturbed me:
1) A top Muslim Imam preaching to locals that the reason this natural disaster happened was God’s direct judgement because of the nations immorality, drinking, promiscuity and sin.
2) A Charismatic church leader, Pat Robertson, preaching the same thing – that this was a direct act of a Holy angry God judging the people of Haiti.
I have also been challenged by a recent piece written by Richard Dawkins in the Times where he has said that Pat Robertsons comments are being true to New Testament teaching.
I disagree with Pat Robertson and Richard Dawkins. Dawkins is just using poor theology to further his cause and crusade. Again I would say to Dawkins and Robertson – “Re-read your New Testament!”
A couple of things disturbed me about this.
Firstly the sheer arrogance of these two preachers to assume that God’s Wrath would weigh heavily on one nation – when the rest of the World is just as sinful and immoral. Is that the act of a perfectly calculated, Just and Holy God? Or does it somehow seem unfair and discriminating? Such a needy people getting hammered by God when the rest of the world seems to get away with it.
Secondly, how does God show His wrath today to a sinful – under the New Covenant – in a way that is distinctly different from false religions such as Islam?
This caused me to revisit the Bible and read.
I had been studying through Romans and I believe the Lord answered my heart questions.
Here is what struck me:
Romans 1:18 says “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.”
Ok – So Gods Wrath is being revealed on mankind today… but how exactly?
The verse continues:
1:24-32 “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
Wow!
Ok. So we have to reckon with the fact that God is Sovereign and all things are from His hands. When Adam and Eve first sinned, all of creation was placed under a curse and we still see the effects of that curse today – because of man’s first sin.
However, can we say that natural disasters are a specific reaction of a perfect Judge to specific sins of specific countries?
I’m not so sure.
According to Romans – they way that God reveals His Wrath and Anger to people in these days is to hand them over to their sin completely. To let them go… just like the prodigal son. To no longer chase them or hold them but to hand them over to the full extent of their sins and let them free fall in to a depraved mindset – one that is hard and cold to God.
This is how God reveals His wrath today!
So with these natural disasters: Who is being judged? Who is really facing God’s Wrath?
I tell you – it is the countries in the world who have made their beds comfortably with their sin and immorality and idolatry.
The West – and I speak of the UK and the USA have more problems with sexual immorality, drug abuse, materialism, addictions and other forms of godlessness and idolatry than any other area in the world.
And yet we are not struck down with earthquakes, volcanoes, Tsunamis etc.
We have to reckon with Gods sovereignty in sending natural disasters.
However scripture is very clear about this. If we believe these natural disasters to be specific judgements on specific people groups for specific sin, we are failing to recognise that judgements in the Bible such as Noah’s Fllod were always announced in advance. We could only say the earthqquake in Haiti was the judgement of God if a spokesman had announced in advance 40 days and Haiti will perish.
Also Jesus talks about this in Luke chapter 13. Are people, if they suffer from natural disasters, worse sinners than anyone else? And are we in any place to pronounce judgement on them?
Jesus says:
“Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
” ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”
However, God has revealed His wrath to us by giving the people of our countries over to their sin. He has turned His back on our nations and handed us over to our own selfish desires.
We see our country in so much sin and total moral mess. As a church, are we fearing God’s wrath to come via judgement of natural disasters? Or do we realize that God already has poured out His wrath on our sinful nations by handing us over to our sins? If we are not being disciplined by God for our sin, if we are not seeing revival in our churches, if we are not seeing unbelievers converted, it may be because God has handed our nation over to its sinful spirit and only a move of The Holy Spirit can save us.
Do we realize our nation
“because of your (its) stubbornness and your (its) unrepentant heart, you are (it is) storing up wrath against yourself (itself) for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.” Romans 2:5.
God is waiting for our nations, the Western world, to repent.
Haiti is a predominantly Catholic country with over 80% of it people claiming to be Catholic. 16% are Protestant and the remainder are unbelieving or Pagan. However, roughly half of the population practice voodoo.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with over 80% of the population living under the poverty line.
This is a country in need of love and charity form the rich western world.
This is a country in need of the real Gospel and real Christian love.
Maybe God has sent these natural disasters on these poverty stricken areas for other reasons:
1) To wake a spiritually dead, luke warm Western world from its sinful, wrath stricken state and to show its people and its Governments their greed and lack of love.
2) To wake up a selfish Western Church to the real physical and spiritual needs of a groaning world.
The verse I have had on my heart this week is Galatians 5:6 “The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
So what should our prayer be?
“LORD, I have heard of your fame; LORD,I stand in awe of your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.” Habbakuk 3:2
Lord, remember your mercy. Turn your face on this land once again. Cause our land to cry out to you and come to find that mercy in Jesus alone!
In Him,
Laurence

Unfortunately, your religion has nothing to do with this problem. Plate tectonics is at work and Haiti just happens to be at the edge of one of these plates. The world is uncertain, not certain, as you religious hacks profess. Chaos is at work and these kinds of problems will continue to get worse because populations live at the edge of these plates.
God has nothing to do with any of this and I whish you who prosess this kind of rubish, take a course in Geography. Science is a better answer than the crap you spread.

I teach history and have for 40 years. Robertson can say anything that he wants however distorted. He can mix up his Napoleons(the Third put an Austrian on the throne of Mexico during the U.S. civil war and perhaps Reverend Pat will save that Benito Juarez made a pact with the Devil to defeat him before the next Cinco de Mayo celebration) call the Dominican Republic prosperous–that is of course relative and I think we would all be better off if Reverend Pat lived there.
He is Christian? H.L Mencken, a conservative of a libertarian bent, contrasted Christians, people who take the Gospel to try to live with love and in peace with “Christers” the 1920s fundamentalists who were always pushing people around, trying to stop the teaching of evolution, force their own often hypocritical moral standards on to everyone around them and run interference for the Coolidge-Hoover Republicans by blaming all social problems on individual sin and the secular nature of modern life. That is all Reverenc Pat is and his “influence” in the U.S. should be a source of real shame for all reasonable and humane people.

What are we fighting for? According to this argument I think it’s safe to say that it isn’t Haiti we are so passionate about. We have gotten off track. Whether Pat’s diagnosis is right or wrong is really irrelevant. The fact is that as Christians we are called to show the amazing and boundless love of God. Does attacking a nation help that? Does attacking a man? Let’s make sure our words and efforts reflect what we claim to believe.

Pat Roberson is a false prophet and if you read your bibles y’all would know that and the Bible warns us of false prophets. People get in your word and you’ll know if you don’t turn from your wicked ways you’ll feel the wrath of God and all through out the Bible he tells you the wages of sin is Death!!!!!

Today on the 700 club the character, Pat Robertson ranked Condoliza top among black women. He said she is at least 2nd or 3rd or 4th if not first amongst black women. He sounds like a slave master ranking his property for sale. Everyone with a christian label and smile on their face is not bringing us good news people. At one point does he beleieve black women need him to rank them to give them validity?
