After more than 60 years together, Jimmy Carter has announced himself at odds with the Southern Baptist Church -- and he's decided it's time they go their separate ways. Via Feministing, the former president called the decision "unavoidable" after church leaders prohibited women from being ordained and insisted women be "subservient to their husbands." Said Carter in an essay in The Age. - July 2009
A wonderful, smart man - what he did with "Habitat for
Humanity" is to be commended
No, we can't do that because 1/3 of the country would fit under that category of religious extremist. If you implicate their leader Pat Robertson then you are essentially implicating them.
Pat is Not the leader of 1/3 of the country, cannot anyone would even believe such nonsense. Heck if 1/3 of the nation watched the 700 Club old Pat would be the richest man in the country, not that he is suffering in any way.

What can mock God more than to claim he/she does acts of terror to the far descendants of a people, out of revenge, for using superstition to aide their escape from a savage enslavement!
To quote Thomas Paine: "Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man."
The political event, TC, the political event. Something happened in Haiti's history. Whether I agree with Pat Robertson or not is irrelevant. I just want to know what he's referring to for him to make such a blatantly ridiculous remark.
It's really not that hard to understand.
Why does the political event matter at all? Whatever it was, it didn't have anything to do with the earthquake. By all means, study up on Haitian history, but that has nothing to do with this earthquake.
Did you watch the whole bit? If you did, you see that the pact with the devil is pretty much the only logical explanation for why things are so horrible in Haiti and so great in the D.R. The only thing that Robertson missed is that he forgot to explain that this is why the Dominican got all the great infielders.
This might be a good time for all the Christians out there to stop crowing about how much better Christianity is than Islam.

Well if Pat Robertson believes Haiti earthquate is epic revenge, how come in Haiti has a higher percentage of people consider themselves Christian than the USA? In addition the USA has a higher percentage of athiest than Haiti.
