VIRGINIA BEACH-Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is warning that, according to God, storms and possibly a tidal wave will pound America's coastline this year.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Dang. God doesn't tell me nuthin'.

[rockabyebaby]

Hey patti cakes, what's with all the gloom and doom???

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson is warning that, according to God, storms and possibly a tidal wave will pound America's coastline this year.

Don't they every year? That 'possibly' takes this from 'wha?' to 'duh.'

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Widespread natural disasters... are seen by many Pentecostals and charismatic Christians like Robertson as biblically decreed harbingers of the “end times.”

And they're seen by environmentalists as harbingers of "global warming". Everybody has their articles of faith.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Oh, you're just jealous because the little voices are only talking to him!

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

Storms on the American Coastline!


Look like Pat is going out on a limb on this one.

[Normal4me]

What is God telling the NHC? Hmmm?

[Miss Marple]

Pat Robertson is the Howard Dean of Christianity.

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

Perhaps these are "Smart Storms" that only target Gays, Muslims, Catholics, Jews and anyone who has not sent Five Hundred Bucks to the 700 Club.

[generally]

A Q-Tip usually takes care of those voices.

Sheesh. It's kooks like this who give Christianity a bad name.

[areafiftyone]

That wasn't God talking to you Pat it was Al Gore

[Argus]

Slow news day down there in Virginia Beach, is it?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Pat needs to go to the source:

[robowombat]

I wish Pat would shut up with providing us his personal cell phone messages from the Almighty. He has supported the lamest array of RINO moderate positions over the years and then provides the rats with a stereotype punching bag to use to promote their bogus bogeyman 'the Christian right'with his silly ass 'G-d sent (fill in the calamity) because America has gone topless.'

[Torie]

"“If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms,” Robertson said May 8. Today, he added, “there well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest.”"

He's baaaaack!

Just a little chuckle for you to divert from the doings in Congress. Get out of Seattle Clemenza, while the getting is good.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Pat,

Exodus 20:7

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Or, as Aretha Franklin so memorably expressed it The Blues Brothers:

"DON'T YOU BLASPHEME IN HERE! DON'T YOU BLASPHEME!"

[SF Republican]

Messages from the Almighty - one of the best sermons I ever heard was from a preacher that started out - The phone rang, I answered it, it was God asking me to help someone; then I was walking down the street and God came up and asked me to help him out - it pointed out how we hear from God everyday in very small ways. Having said that, I think Pat is nuts.

[verity]

I am always put on indefinite 'hold' when I call.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Getting in the news is necessary for these fabously wealthy people who have made their money in the God business.

But I don't need to pay Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker or any of the other TV stars to get into Heaven. I can make it on my own -- with God's help.

[badpacifist]

Hey Pat......If my ass won't move there may be an angel in the way.....Numbers 22:21-30

[stylin19a]

...according to God, storms and possibly a tidal wave...

Uh-oh...Pat...you tryin to put God in the trick bag ? God is all-knowing, so "possibly" don't exist.

[Melas]

God likes to tease Pat though. I remember when God told Pat to run for president than sat back and chuckled at the folly that ensued.

[Cementjungle]

Does this mean we're in the clear for tornados, earthquakes, floods, droughts and other calamaties? Cool, let's opt for the coastal stuff this year then.

[js1138]

God told me that the price of gas will be even higher 20 years from now.

[SE Mom]

The man is an embarrassment.

[Unmarked Package]

Pat Robertson is a rank amateur prophet. Everybody knows that God reveals all the details about the number and probable location of coastal storms to Dr. Gray at Colorado State University. He's the real deal. :-)

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

The First Franchiser.

[onyx]

I'm careful not to laugh. Surely he has to get it right one of these days?

[devane617]

We are in the midst of a storm for America and our levies( President and Congress) is failing. Who needs hurricanes, tornado's, or tsunamis.

[Integrityrocks]

Pat Robertson could take some notes out of Billy Graham's book. Just shut up and love people.

[Michael Goldsberry]

I know you're just having fun, but let me help:

The First Franchiser and only Monarch.

You're welcome.

"MMMMM -- Harbingers...."

[Theo]

I read the article, and frankly don't see anything wrong with what Pat said.

He said that he has the sense from God that there will indeed be bad weather on the East Coast.

Is there anything specifically that's wrong with what he said? Or are we all just eager to jump on the "hate-the-Christian-leader" bandwagon? Are those who pray to the Lord and hear from him necessarily mentally instable?

[Coldwater Creek]

Billy has had his moments as well. Stating that Bill Clinton would make a great preacher. Tongue was not in cheek.

[Michael Goldsberry]

If I said that God told me to tell you to send me money, vote for me and the sky is blue, would that make me a Christian leader?

[Shimmer128]

"If I heard the Lord right....."

Don't you see that he isn't a prophet from the Lord?? Prophets don't say "If I heard the Lord right, then this is gonna happen"
1. God is never wrong
2. PR is usually wrong, so it's not the Lord he's hearing
3. Test of a prophet: is he ever wrong?? uh oh Pat!

[Mo1]

He's baaaaack!

Oh Geez .. LOL!!

BTW . wasn't the world suppose to end years ago?

[Old_Mil]

Dang. God doesn't tell me nuthin'.

Wouldn't you know it - I lost His email address about a year ago and miss out on all the breaking news these days.

[COEXERJ145]

Pat Robertson is the Howard Dean of Christianity.

ROFLMAO!

So true.

[Mike Darancette]

Um, Pat, storms pound America's coastline EVERY year.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Joe Biscardi left out the Tsumani part.....

[Right Wing Professor]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Way to go out on a limb there, Pat!

My predicition: God is likely to be especially angry between June and November, and the Gulf Coast and Florida are most likely to feel his divine wrath.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

God will tell you a lot if you read the Bible. As for disasters, those will always occur as long as this world is under the curse of sin and death.

Personally, I like Pat Robertson. He has done more to help people in their daily lives through his various charities than all his critics combined. I would very careful about ridiculing him. And he has consistently supported conservative postions on the issues.

If these posts are any indication of the level of spiritual darkness that has now consumed the conservative movement, we are in more trouble than I ever imagined.

[Mo1]

I'm careful not to laugh

I'm a bad girl .. I have tears running down my checks reading this whole thead

I'll say a few Hail Mary's later

Also, according to commonsense, storms will also drop rain across the entire US.

[onyx]

LOL! At your very own risk, my dear...lol.

Hey I made this far without being struck by lighting :0)
