TV evangelist claims Haiti was involved in deal with the devil.
 
Yes folks, you read that right.

Pat Robertson, he of hurricane Katrina "fame", is at it again.

A lot of them have their own channels in the US. And unfortunately one or two of the less discerning Christian channels broadcasting to the UK have been known to syndicate this sort of pap, although I don't know whether any of them are showing Robertson's stuff specifically.

Well having had an old friend over for xmas who moved to the US ten years ago and has found god with some really extreme christian group i am not surprised some of them hold this view. He was asked to leave after only an hour into a boys night because of his views which i found incredibly ignorant and offensive and i am not exactly the pinacle of open mindedness or tolerence.

Still for those who think only islam has nutters this may be a revelation not that it will dull their fervour in attacking islam.

You would have thought the chrisitian thing to do would be to offer support and sympathy wouldn't you but obviously certain sections within christianity don't feel thats their purpose. I actually feel more pity for the people with these types of twisted belief then i do for the people of haiti at the minute and that takes some doing.

Really.... What can you expect from a guy who is obviously mentally ill....

There are too many of these fire & brimstone nutters in the states, how they can call themselves Christians is beyond me.

The missus bought me a postcard with the feminism quote on there.

I think you were brave reproducing part of 'that' cartoon. Rather you than me dude.

As truly ridiculous as this sounds to us, the sad part is that this nut must have quite a following in the US as he's been around for years.

Here's another hate filled diatribe on the earthquake, courtesy of evil Rush.

Russ is strangely absent from this thread.... I'd have expected him to either be here rubbishing Pat or supporting him. ;)

Have you seen the kind of stuff that's praised in the bible? Fear 'god' or be dammed for eternity in 'hell', geoncide, slavery, rape, bigotry, rampant homophobia, stoning people to death.. etc.

It's horrific stuff, as with all religious novels. At least the extemists have the courage in their conviction to go all out and believe every last insane word of their magical story books.

Personally I prefer a more rational aproach and look forward to the day when religion, and all of it's crazy followers, are just a memory.

Re: TV evangelist claims Haiti was involved in deal with the devil.
 
To say the things this person and i use that term reluctently has said shows no real faith at all more an extremely unpleasant person hiding that behind religion as so many in this world do. Right now those people deserve all the help they can get and sympathy from those of us not able to help, not trash like this thing is speaking and i hope his no doubt well fed backside gets a good kicking sometime soon.

You'll get no argument from me there. I don't think I've read any of the Bible since I could give up religious knowledge as a subject at school.

Let's not use this thread to bait other members.

Re: TV evangelist claims Haiti was involved in deal with the devil.
 
When the idiot brigade open their mouths it is easy to say good riddence to all religion but we have to remember that most people that have a faith do not agree with or believe in what the extremists of any faith say or want. I think rather then use this as an excuse to attack religion full stop we should just remember that idiots are idiots and they exist in every group and if we were to want all groups that had idiots in gone and buried there would n't be many of us left.

I'm an atheist and lets be honest we have more then our fair share of people that should probably be on some medication :).

Who's fault is it that they need to be on medication? it's them that's who! ;) :)

Re: TV evangelist claims Haiti was involved in deal with the devil.
 
There are plenty of people in this world who hate other's lack of morals who are atheists.

What we should avoid doing with both theist and atheist groups with such attitudes is deny them the oygen of publicity.

Frankly I'd have never even begun a thread about this loony if only to prevent his crap from being virally spread across the internet.How about we all stop discussing this idiot and all the other idiots of like ilk and thus silence their voices as much as possible?:rolleyes:
