God told me that Pat Robertson is going to hell

In case you haven't heard, Pat Robertson says that Haiti was struck by an earthquake because its people made a pact with the devil.

I got SO ANGRY when I heard this... I realize of course that the man is a crackpot, that he pretends that God tells him all sorts of crazy things, and, well, I'm not a Christian, so why should I care?

The reason I should care is that this nutcase is watched by people all over the world. And when he tells those people the screwy things he's dreamt up, they believe him.

He has a lot of influence. And although "with great power comes great responsibility," Pat Robertson is just plain irresponsible.

I'm sure the old reprobate will take back what he said, somehow pretend that it didn't come out the way he meant it. If God tells Pat something, but it doesn't work out well for Pat, God manages to change His mind.

He's a good god that way.

At least, he's good to Pat.

So, rather than boil in my anger, I looked up the website for the 700 Club, Pat Robertson's TV show. First, I put in a prayer request for Pat's soul.

Then I left a note for the CBN Editors, complaining about Pat's Haiti message.

And finally, I called those awful people on the phone (800-759-0700) and politely but firmly told them how wrong Pat Robertson was.
