I love Pat Robertson

For those who don't know, Pat Robertson is one of America's craziest and best known kooks. He is a zealous Christian who apparently has regular two-sided conversations with God. But best of all, he makes me laugh. I can't believe anyone would take anything this guy says seriously. Anyway...Pat's gift for 2007? More fear-mongering on behalf of the Almighty. Thank God that God didn't say "nuclear". Whew. I'm sure we're all relieved. Read the story and you shall be enlightened. He has a worse track record than the scammers claiming to be psychics.

Pat Robertson predicts 'mass killing'

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.

I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."
Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson said God also told him that the U.S. only feigns friendship with
Israel and that U.S. policies are pushing Israel toward "national suicide."
Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election. Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts. Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and
Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.
"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

this guy reminds me of what's his face that used to be on in Texas. i can't remember his name but he had curly hair. these ppl are ridiculous and give a bad name to any type of organized religion. sad that ppl actually believe what they say and give them thousands of dollars. i didn't realize until now that he was a fortune teller as well. and to think... isn't that a sin??? ;) oh, but i guess if God is telling him this stuff, then it isn't.
