Pat Robertson's Haiti Comments Justified by CBN

I think that it is better to just ignore his comment. By reacting to it with positivity or negativity is mute. I am to sad to care about what he thinks. A lot of people will say alot of things some will seem purely vindictive. But why give the power. Lets just focus on the big picture helping now and later. Im Haitian and I am not upset by his comment I dont care about it. When you see people dying and getting news of lost loved ones here in the states, comments are insignificant.

If you are drowning do you care about the lifegaurd or someone's comment. Lets not make his comment matter by fueling the fire. He is entitled to his own opinion regardless of how insensitive it is. Im sick of being tired about meaness.

Robertson has also hinted the Hurricane Katrina disaster had something to do with abortion and the events of September 11, 2001 were the result of U.S. legislation allowing abortion and the lack of prayer in U.S. public schools.

Does everyone know this guy ran for the office of President of the United States in 1988 as a Republican candidate?

Please remember to respect each other on this thread - keep the subject on the story please and not each other.

The guy has dementia.

I think he should be using the money he gets from the people he manipulates to send some relief to the people of Haiti. The Bible teaches us to show love and compassion for our enimies and if attacked to turn the other cheek and show them love. This concept in his mind does not apply to him. No wonder people are becoming atheist and saying terrible things about religion. This guy is giving my religion, which is Christianity, a bad name.  

Many people (including some Christians) don't fully understand that accepting Christ into your heart does not make you perfect, it only makes you "forgiven."  Perfection won't be possible in this life.Pat Robertson is an imperfect man who believes, as he should, that Jesus truly is the son of God. Pat has lived much of his life in ministry and by now should understand this is his main message.With that said I believe that over the years he has never understood how carefully he must choose his words.  I have friends who do periodic missionary work in Haiti and considered spending a tour there myself. The stories of those who have been there are somber to say the least.  I have wondered how a country could have so much misery,  never seem to progress, constant poverty, etc.  I have been told, do not know this for a fact, that many Haitians practice Voodoo.  I don't know anything about it but have always heard it is a type of Satan worship.  Some of you may know more about this than me.  However, if that is true I would consider it dangerous to the followers.   God's grace is not evident on this island and without His grace we would be in the same situation.  I think of the old song about the USA "America, America, God sheds His grace on Thee."  I don't know why Haiti suffers so and certainly wouldn't say it is cursed.   I do know they need our prayers and help and not make it worse by voicing negative comments as to why they are suffering so much.  Those people who have experienced God's love (like Pat R. and myself for example) should be offering prayers and compassion and not criticism.  Remember, Job went through so many hardships that even his wife and friends thought God had turned against him but that wasn't the case. Pat Robertson has been in broadcasting too long to think he can say whatever he may believe and it not be distorted or misunderstood.  Perhaps it is wise to remember the old adage "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." 

Pat Robertson is an older man, who may say the wrong things at the time.  You can negate the good he has done for many years.  Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.  The truth is, we have been  allowed glimpses of ugliness, not so much from the natural disasters that have occurred; but from the corruption, lack of love, care, and concern for a people under the rule of selfish leaders, and outright evil that has been uncovered by the disasters.  Look where the earthquakes, psunami, hurricanes, etc. have taken place, and look at the conditions of poverty and government corruption in those places.  Hurricane Katrina in LA-a corrupt mayor and other leadership sat back and did nothing to get people out when they knew what was coming; then they blamed the President when they could no longer help themselves.  Psunami in Indonesia, where countless children have been sold as sex slaves, and forced to work in abhorent conditions at a very young age, and Christians must be careful to speak about their faith due to radical Islam, just like the Phillippines with the mudslides, where my friends are now, and must be very careful not to be "noticed" by the radicals Islamists there.   Look at China where parents have aborted babies because the government imposed a one-child policy.  The lid has been blown off these places.  The ugliness has been revealed, just like the Islamic terrorists  revealed their beliefs on Sept. 11, although it was anything but natural.  My point is simple.  Love.  Love your neighbor.  Do good for evil.  Be the eyes, the ears, the hands and feet of Christ.  Love.  If we could all grasp this simple message and put it into practice in our own little lives, we can a difference in our own community.  I will spread if we allow it to.

A Breakdown of Pats Rants:The following areas were hit by disaster, and here is Pats statements (summary)Is he a Bigot or Racist? You Judge it. Area ~ Reason ~ Major Pop./Target GroupHaiti: Pact with the Devil, Mostly Black areaNew Orleans / Katrina: Fornication, Mostly Black areaCalifornia Wildfires: Homosexual Lifestyle, Gays911 NY, DC, and PA: God let this happen for America Killing Babies, AbortionMidwest Drought/Floods: Bad things happen to good people, White FarmersCarolina Hurricane: Bad things happen to good people, White ChristiansTennessee Tornado:  Bad things happen to good people, White ChristiansI find it sickening that Pat Roberson states that "BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE" when the area hit is either most White or Christian, but when it is an area Mostly populated by Minorities or those that are not following GODS LAW, then they deserved it!Pat, I am a White Christian Male, and you DISGUST ME! GOD is LOVE! So, stop spewing hatred! ***Pat when will you get punished for your deal with the Devil? You know the One you made to Become Filthy Rich from Fleecing the flock!***                                                                  ***

I agree with Pat Robertson, he is a very smart man and also wise. I totally agree with what he says.
