Pat Robertson is a ghoul.



It's breath-taking, the way this guy's mind works.

Two hundred years ago, one guy in a desperate struggle for freedom, might have (or might not have--the story could just be a legend) asked for Satan's help, and the entire country as a whole has suffered to this very day.

Two hundred years later.

Not long before this catastrophic earthquake, I read a story where there were people living in Haiti so poor they were eating "dirt cookies." Children were starving to death. Completely innocent children, in Pat Robertson's mind, were born in poverty, lived short lives, and died with the last meal in their bellies dirt from the same ground they were buried in because some guy, two hundred years ago, might have called on Satan. A country is hit with a tragic seismic event, death and destruction is everywhere, families will be torn apart, and the area is so poor the prognosis for this breath-taking tragedy being a long time for recovery is painfully self evident, and this ghoul says, basically, "Don't piss God off, man." He even goes out of his way to make the point.

The Bible says man is made in God's image. I think that's backwards. How Pat Robertson sees his god tells me a lot about him.
