Lovely man who calls himself a "humanitarian" on his website and yet has strong links with Charles Taylor of Liberia and Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire. Blood diamonds , human rights violations anyone ? But obviously enough people believe his hateful rancid preaching to give him a lot of money.

With Christians like these who needs enemies ? He is a disgrace to Christianity as I believe it to be. The Religion of Love has somehow passed him by. Sounds simply like a racist, greedy, evil bastard to me.

Could this be a judgment from God? maybe. It's possible, Do I know? No and neither does Robertson. In supporting our scriptural views we Christians love to throw around the judgment of Sodom thus assuming God's judgment. It is clear that God has already judged the nation of Haiti as He has judged every nation on earth. Haiti has unrest, crime, violence, voodoo, poverty, little to no infrastructure and the list goes on. All of that IS judgment from God.

God doesn't judge nations. God judges the individual. God does not destoy that which He creates. Would you paint a picture just to turn around and destroy it? No. Neither does God.
What happened in Haiti is not by the hand of God. It happened because of the natural workings of the earth. If you studied science, you would know that.

Fundamentalist, PLEASE don't go there! For the sake of not eventually sounding as ridiculous as Pat Robertson, you might want to not go there. Just take my foolish advice.

Whether or not this was caused by a pact with the devil, I do not know; only God knows. However, God does Judge! This world is in for a rude awakening! The judgements are already starting to increase in frequency. You may think that you are getting by when you mock God, but you will reap what you sow. Count on it!

And I [Jesus] say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. - Luke 12:4-5

100 pics of death, destruction AND hope from the Haiti disaster.

WARNING: Some pics are graphic and/or disturbing.

Just real sad what continues to happen down on that island nation. My heart goes out to the for real.

Isn't fundamentalist a bad word anyway?

I don't know why he still has a show.
The sad part is I am sure many in his audience agree with him and probably won't donate money to help the victims in Haiti because of his stupid views.

Robertson really needs to shut his mouth....its crackpots like him that make all Christians look bad. I think the guy may be certifiably nuts.

And unfortunately the left jumps right on these things and lumps all Christians in with Pat Robertson. He's so nutty with some his ideas that it makes me wonder if he was planted by liberals to make Christians looks like morons...

Thought the same thing. It is like saying Osama bin Laden gives terrorists a bad name
