The 21st century "Nutsodumbass" is at it again.
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.

He predicted that all those christians who didn't believe in his armagedonic(sp?) views would be swallowed up by the earth in the 2nd coming because they were the spirit of the antichrist. This would supposedly happen in 2000 as "predicted" by him during the early years of the 700 Club. Still waiting.
He also condemned an entire Ohio town to eternal damnation. He's really off the deep end... how does this guy keep his followers. Or better yet :Where are his followers? I've got bridges in Brookñyn and whole deserts for sale.
After spending “a wonderful time of prayer,” the Christian Coalition founder said, “The Lord had some very encouraging news for George Bush. What I heard [from God] was that Bush is now positioned to have victory after victory and that his second term is going to be one of triumph, which is pretty strong stuff.”

Robertson also announced that the appearance of the Antichrist and the second coming of Jesus are not on the calendar this year. Although the Christian scriptures say no one knows the “day and hour” of Christ’s second coming, Robertson insisted “The end is not yet, because God has many more things to do. So people that say that Jesus is going to come tonight or that the Antichrist is going to be revealed tomorrow and so forth, that just isn’t going to happen.”
Robertson did not mention that his yearly Jan. 1 sit-down with the Lord often results in incorrect information. On Jan. 1, 1980, Robertson reported that God had told him that the Soviet Union would in that year invade several Middle Eastern nations, seize the world’s oil reserves and throw the United States and Western Europe into economic chaos, sparking worldwide conflict.
In 1981, Robertson predicted a global economic collapse between 1983 and 1985. He once predicted a Russian invasion of Israel and claimed that the USSR would collapse after the outbreak of a World War III.
Robertson’s predictions in more recent times have not fared much better. During his 2004 talk with God, the Almighty assured him that Bush would win reelection easily. Robertson reported that the race would be a “blowout.” In fact, Bush won narrowly by less than 3 percent.

W-w-w-wait, it gets even better:
Marion Gordon "Pat" Robertson is a false prophet which goes against the Bible's teachings:
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
2 Pet 2:1 [NIV] But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Pet 2:2 [NIV] Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
2 Pet 2:3 [NIV] In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
I'm not sure about a sense of humor, but I know God loves Pat Robertson as much as He loves you and I. Clearly, Robertson says some wild things, but he isn't a bad person - he isn't a criminal for saying the things he does - or deserving of such disdain.Poor Pat but then you've got to say God has a terrific sense of humor and is the master of practical jokes.

So you think that condemning a whole town to eternal damnation on television (just one example) is acceptable and Christian behavior?

Then neither is Saddam Hussein.
You're more dense than I ever thought possible. Think real hard, dana, and try and think of the differences between Saddam Hussein and Pat Robertson. Here's a hint: Think about the mass graves.Then neither is Saddam Hussein.
So you're saying that, like Pat Robertson, Saddam Hussein wasn't a criminal either?Then neither is Saddam Hussein.
Apparently he can leg press 1,000 lbs
The Evangelicals are distancing themselves from Pat lately, according to Fox:

You predict just one mass killing, and suddenly you're the loneliest guy at the bar. :lol:
For some reason there's a parallel thread in the Religion & Philosophy, but I'll say the same thing.
I think the man is a little insane and is probably now trying to reach out for publicity. Ah well. He isn't the only one out there, he's just the one with the most media coverage.
