Instead of supplying kind words in time of stress, Pat Robertson decides to strike out publicly while untold numbers of Haitians lay bleeding in the rubble of a massive earthquake. Real nice bud. Your compassion knows no bounds.
Referencing a pact with the Devil, he hints at all that’s happened to them as a result of their pact with the Devil.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dryly observed, “At times of great crisis, there are always people who say really stupid things.”
Amen!
If Christianity could fire someone, would it be Robertson? All I know of him is when he makes these callous, cold statements about different events and when he does that on national television, he represents that which people think Christianity is about.
As he calls the death of thousands in Haiti “a great kick start to urban renewal,” he just continues to make statements that he seems to have no remorse for.
In 1992 he said that feminism causes women to “kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians”
In 1998, he referenced flying the rainbow flags in Orlando, FL would lead them to suffer “terrorist bombs…earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor”
In reaction to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks he shifted the blame from murderous terrorists to the Supreme Court saying God Almighty is lifting his protection from us.”
In 2005 Robertson said that the Supreme Court rulings upholding church-state separation and individual freedom are a greater threat than “the terrorists which our great nation has defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq.”
He seems very opportunistic and takes great advantage of that when his predictions always fall short.
It’s one thing to rabble off at the mouth about things, but to take great reverence in a deed that kills many people, just ain’t cutting it with some.
