What that you are a waste of my time? You are. Time is precious and I rather discuss things with people that have something real to say.

I want to acknowledge the Christian men and women who actually recognize nature when they see it and are rolling up their sleeves to help others in this plight and not holding back because they think it is some judgment from their god. I am well aware not all Christians think like Pat Robertson and thankfully so.

Some Christians love it both ways. When there is blessing and prosperity and THEY are benefiting, it's because of god's blessing and the nation has returned to god (in their imaginations) but when all hell breaks loose, it is because god is judging the same nation. Black and white and end of story.

Just when you think your kids are little demons they go and show their little hearts. Then they go back to demons.

Yes, I agree.

I am not a sinner as I don't believe in the concept of sin. I am not perfect, of course not, and I don't mind that. I am as good as I can be, that is enough, I am happy that way.

I find it a little sad that we are devoting so much energy to the ramblings of this crackpot. It is also sad that so many seem to want to portray him as some sort of mainstream Christian.

With that said, let's watch the actual outpouring of Aid to Haiti and focus on those that are a part of the solution instead of paying attention to the jerks trying to grab attention and profit from the crisis. (There are others besides him)

After reading more about the wretched situation in Haiti, the most charitable thing I can say about Pat Robertson is that he'll probably be dead soon, and then God will deal with him. What a rotten human being. Anyone, including any of you, who would think that babies and little children deserved to die in such a manner--crushed by buildings, trapped and starving, dying of thirst, afraid and alone, or from the numerous diseases that will come soon due to the dead people everywhere--should be ashamed.

Then you condemn yourself and need to stop blaming the Christians.
