Can You Hear Me Now? Good.

I'm sure you're all as frantic as I am about what to do about the safety of our families in light of recent revelations made to that crazy loon our brother in Christ, Pat Robertson, by the Man Upstairs.  Yes, we here on the left coast are apparently in line for something akin to a big macking tsunami if what was revealed to Pat during his most recent "prayer retreat" ends up being true.  The only thing I'm having a little difficulty with - and please, I'm not trying to discredit Mr. Robertson as he is truly a prophet of God - is the fact that he questions whether or not he may have "heard the Lord right" during all this.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but, doesn't God kind of sound like James Earl Jones when he talks?  At least he did in The Ten Commandments.  I'm pretty sure it's one of those deep, loud, booming voices that carries pretty far at the very least.  My guess is that, if the Lord Almighty spoke to you, He would probably make it a point to 1) speak loud enough for you to hear and 2) enunciate. 

So, Pat...maybe you could hit Him up again and verify all this for us.  It's important stuff, you know.  The safety of my family is at stake here.  Besides, I'd like a confirmation before moving to Kansas.

God has a voice like James Earl Jones??? Good to know. But, does he still look like Alanis Morriset (sp)? That would be a real neat god.

And Whiff, don't move to Kansas. Trust me on this one.

Well, I had just written a post myself about this same thing, but I figured since you started this, I will just post it here.

When I read the article, God warned Robertson about tsunami? on MSNBC.com (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12851397/?GT1=8199), the fact that Pat Robertson is again making a spectacle of himself is not surprising. He has made quite a habit of dragging his own credibility through the mud over the past couple of years. Not that he didn't do it before, but he has received vastly more criticism from his stupid remarks on the suggested assasination of Venzuelan President Hugo Chavez, and the suggestion of "divine intervention" felling Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

So, he is back making another bogus claim of divine warning. Here is what I find scary about it though. First is the fact that anything his says still makes the news. He is a crack pot. We do not broadcast every lunatic in Times Square that warn that the world is going to end. Why do they continue to write what this man says as news?

Second, when on the live vote poll that when along with the story, (as of that momment in time, and based on 70026 responses) 11% believed that he got divine news of these events and 11% percent were "Not sure." That is 15,000 people that I do not want voting in the next election... or any election... or driving a car... or being out in public where they could hurt somebody. Because these people are clearly delusional.

It's the "not sure" folks that scare me. The 11% that believed are just flat out religious zealots. I can almost excuse them. You can be extremely intelligent and still have hardcore religious beliefs that can make it seem like your a dumbass.

However, it's these people who are riding the fence that freak me out. "You know, I want to believe him but I just can't let go of the notion that it was probably JinJau from the planet X-99 telepathically connecting with him."

These people should be dealt with.

Really? Because when I think I hear God talking to me, it sounds like Bill Cosby... "Hey! Noah" vooba-vooba-vooba "It's the Lord, Noah."

I disliked him (Pat Robertson, not Bill Cosby) back when he was just a religious fanatic, and now that he seems to be a senile, delusional religious fanatic, I loathe him deeply.

I agree, those people on the fence really freak me out.

Praise the Lord Brother Pat can bench 2,000 lbs. Yep. it's true. I saw it on CNN. If, for some reason, he finds himself on the coast when the big one hits, at least he'll have superhuman powers.
