Pat Robertson does it again!

Okay, seriously. No words. 100k people lost.

I realize that the guy is not much more than a professional conservative troll, but ... wow.

Actually, according to my bible knowledge, Pat Robertson is the one who probably made a "Pact with the Devil", while Haiti is more likely to have been hit for the same reason Job was--none, just random act of God.

At least, if one is using the bible to interpret things.

I read "100k" in your post and was like "oh, that's a lot," then I read the article and realized exactly how big of a number 100,000 really is. How horrible.

I watched a video where he talked about it that was linked over IRC and he said Haitians "need to have--and we need to pray for them--a great turning to god". I also read on Wikipedia that "Haiti is a largely Christian country, with Roman Catholicism professed by 80% of Haitians." 16% of the other Haitians are Protestant. And then he mentioned Napoleon III and the Haitian slave revolt from which they gained independence from the French, apparently part of some pact with the devil or... something. Haiti gained independence in 1804--Napoleon III was born in 1808.

So basically he's not only an ass who is incapable of compassion, he's an ignorant, lying ass who is incapable of compassion. Fuck him.

I've read estimates of up to 500,000. Even the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami didn't kill that many people. To put things into perspective, the population estimate for Port-au-Prince apparently ranges from 2.5 to 3 million. If these estimates are correct then that could be up to a fifth of the population of the entire city.
It's beyond words.
And the fact that there's someone out there who honestly believes they deserved this, that it was an act of God is disturbing. Seriously. Christ.

You know, as I was clicking in, I said to myself "This should be a good laugh".

...and it was.

Here, a hundred thousand lives were lost (or close to it), and I'm laughing. Why. Pat is making what can only be a joke about it. It takes a lot of nerve and audacity to achieve levels like that (not Kefka levels, but still), and frankly, I'm easily amused by stupidity.

Can I have that subtracted from my phone's minutes? Or is it charged extra?

Although God may be a part of it. Don't blame it on him. The evangelical church should not be the one to cause this.

Just saying.

What's sad is, he was being serious. -sighs- I swear, today's Christians are getting dumber and dumber. With the addition of Sara Palin to Fox News, I'm not shocked that the conservative Christian community is going downhill, but still.

Nah, I meant that as in Pat Robertson (among other evangelists) is an evangelical douchebag.

Crackpot nutjob Christians are just going to push the "believers of Satan" or whatever they want to call atheists and non-Christians further from Chrisitanity.

Pat Robertson is the most sure-fire sign I can think of that shows me that we're not moving forward as a species very much. Until he gets lynched (or spontaneously combusts), I won't be happy.
