Speaking To God

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/02/robertson.predictions.ap/index.html

So, apparantly God told Pat Robertson that there will be a terrorist related mass-killing in the US in 2007.

Joan of Arc claimed God spoke to her and they burned her. So, who has some matches?

I got matches, a lighter, some lighter fluid.

I've also got a hammer and some nails if he feels like playing savior.
He really is an evil man.

I believe strongly that burning at the stake is archaic.



















Chemical burns are the way of the future!!!

If one were to burn the little old hate-monger he would just become a martyr. Although it would be mildly entertaining, why lend legitimacy to the senile?

Could God be a little more specific? You know, when, where, that sort of thing...

...I mean, if He's all-knowing and such.

Yeah... I mean hell, even Nostradamus was more specific, and he didn't even claim to be all-knowing ;)

"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."


Yes. Because heavy rains and tsunamis are the same thing.

You know what the really disgusting thing about this is? I'll bet he's hoping for a disaster as a "testament." Uck.

Yeah, that heavy rain = tsunami got me too. I mean, if we can construe predictions that widely, I'm sure I could be as accurate as he is.

The sad thing is that there are people watching his creepy 700 club show and believing him. The man is a hateful little bigot who needs to drop off the face of the planet.

I've just had a message from God. She says, "yo."

I predict that in 2007 a chihuahua-headed alien will land on earth and consume Mr. Robertson's intestines on national television.

Or, he will get a seriously painful tummy ache, one or the other. Both will equally fulfill the prophecy. ;-)

You know what they say...

If you talk to God, it's called "prayer". If God talks back, it's called "schizophrenia".

Does that count for multiple deities? Because I've had whole conversations. But I'd say the problem is when your conversation (or delusion, if you'd prefer) interferes with your ability to function appropriately and healthily in society. The man has been crossing this line for years, though I'm disinclined to believe that he genuinely believes any of this stuff himself.
