1.7 Billion Reasons to Defend Pat Robertson

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah

What the Robertson bashers left out is that finally, and with great compassion and concern in his voice, Pat said, "They need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God and out of this tragedy I am optimistic that some good thing may come, but right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable."

Agree or disagree with what Pat said, it was well within the bounds of historic Christian theology. Maybe that's the real problem after all.

Man is offended by the fact that he is not God. They resent God's Providence. A simple reading of the Bible shows how God uses natural disasters to further his purposes. Earthquakes, floods, famine, locusts, etc. they're all there, but man hates it. Rather than humbly acknowledging that God's ways are not our ways, man rails against and accuses God. The last thing they will do is cry out for his mercy in Jesus Christ.

I don't understand that negative press that Pat Robertson is receiving, even from Fox News!

Hasn't anybody except for TrueChristians™ actually read the BIBLE? The Lord brings down famine, earthquakes, and other natural disasters on those who displease him. Did the Haitians really think they could get away indefinitely with their Papism and Voodoo?

Actually, it is positive press. We know we are angering the devil when he tries to do everything to slander us and bring us down.

In order to help make even more stark the difference between the good work being done by Pat Robertson and the evil so commonly found in the world, I will do everything in my power to make sure that even more news stories critical of him come out.

It is only by attempting to point out his flaws, making false statements and accusation against him that people would recognize the signs of his true Christianity and strengthen true believers as they see the secular world arrayed against them.

I just discovered this letter on facebook and it gave me pause. I have some doubts as to its authenticity and I'd be interested to know what is thought of it among the LBC brethren.

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"?

If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll.

You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan
