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.

[MineralMan]

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

Wait...I'm getting a message...here it comes....

Snowstorms are predicted for the northern midwest states, beginning in November, 2006. Residents should tune up their snowblowers in October. That is all.

He may be right; who knows. If all of y'all think that God doesn't speak to anyone........think again.

[RightOnline]

Not a 'little voice', dude. I've heard it. I'm not a nutcase, either.

[airborne]

God told Pat Robertson, "Possibly"?

[MineralMan]

"I would very careful about ridiculing him."

Oh, I am. I check my spelling and grammar very carefully when ridiculing Pat Robertson. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

[Junior]

He talks to me all the time; He didn't mention any tidal waves, though, and his only comment on hurricanes has been, "Hey, it's hurricane season. What do you expect?"

[MineralMan]

"God told Pat Robertson, "Possibly"?"

Well, see, it all depends. If Pat raises at least $1 million, it might not happen, you see. It all depends on you folks watching Pat on the television. It's all up to them. They need to get their checkbooks out right away and give until it hurts, doncha know?

If Pat raises enough money, I'm sure his deity will call off the natural disasters. No question about it. Yah, sure...that's the ticket.

[RightOnline]

OK OK......I've read enough. This has GOT to be the stupidest, most small-minded, ignorant bunch of replies I've ever read on a single thread in six years on FR.

Stick your arrogance, people. If you think God can't or doesn't talk to people.......ever..........get it over with and renounce any connection to Christianity and become a f**king Muslim.

Did Robertson hear God on this one? I don't know; he says he did. Maybe he really did, maybe not. That's not the point.

The point here is that I'm SICK of smartasses on FR denigrating Christianity, especially of the evangelical side of the house.

It happens. Deal with it. If you don't believe it can, change churches. You're in the wrong one.

[MineralMan]

"Check is in the mail ;)"

And a good thing it is, too. See my #67. Everyone needs to send in a check, or we're all doomed. Doomed, I tell you!

Pat has spoken, and must be obeyed. He hears the word of his deity, you see.

[RightOnline]

correction to the above............EIGHT years on FR..................

Stick your arrogance, people."

Uffda! I take it all back. Pat Robertson is the Prophet of the 21st Century. He knows all, tells all, and takes all contributions.

There is a difference between sincere belief in a deity and arrogant presumption that one speaks for that deity.

Pat Robertson is, and always has been, a buffoon...a buffoon who makes a mockery of Christianity. Listen to him at your peril.

Most of the time when God 'speaks' to Pat, he has to apologize afterward because he's wrong.

It's a major concern to me, as an Evangelical Christian to have him as a 'spokesman.'

God DOES speak to people, but HE doesn't give them incorrect information. Pat needs to be quiet.

[airborne]

Well, God always answered my prayers the same way.

He said, "You know what to do. You just need to follow Me."

[MineralMan]

Wow! I'm so sorry. I take it all back. I've seen your photo on your FreepPage, and I know when I'm whipped. I'll say no more. Pat Robertson IS the Prophet of the 21st Century. Every word out of his mouth is straight from his deity.

Please accept my sincere and humble apology. Please don't come and beat me up!

Makes a lot of sense. Perhaps Pat Robertson isn't listening too clearly. Perhaps he has misunderstood the voices in his head.

[demsux]

Karl Rove told him about the weather machine in his garage!

[HostileTerritory]

I'll say a few Hail Mary's later

DON'T!!! You'll make it SNOW!!!

[freedumb2003]

Good thing you warned me.

We are only $10 from staying God's wrath!

[Civis Proeliator]

Well if Pat said it's true, I guess it's time to start on that Ark v2.
</sarcasm>

[silver charm]

Wasn't he also, the televangelist who said that if all his listeners didn't send in X million dollars by such and such a day he would die ( or so the Lord told him)?

Unfortunately, most all of the Pentecostal Christians I know have little or no knowledge of the natural world than the junk science that people like Pat Robertson scramble up and regurgitate for them.

I recently was "told" that AIDS could be caught from an infected person sneezing within a 30 foot radius of where a person (me?) might be standing. Because they blindly believe in the authority of these televangelists they automatically assume those tele-preachers must be very knowledgeable about science and worldly things as well.

I am a Pentecostal Christian and I am amazed at some of the things my friends at church tell me. Explain something in terms they can understand and they think your are a genius of world renown. Of they tell you to go back to reading your bible. Sigh. I have read my bible so much since I accepted the Lord that I usually can back up what I say with scripture. But they will still believe the next goofy thing that Robertson, Falwell or Hinn says.
