Here in Virginia Beach we are uniquely blessed to have a prophet amongst us who not only speaks for God, but also apparently for Satan himself. Watch this video and see that Pat Robertson quotes the Devil in recounting the deal that Haiti made with Beelzebub!

This is ridiculous, and the whole of Christianity, from the Right to the Left, should be admonishing Robertson to issue and apology for his ignorance and that he exit his sound stage for good. They should do this because this incident is not the first example of Robertson’s gaffes on behalf of God, as many have pointed out.

Robertson’s views on the judgments of Haiti, or any area which has faced a disaster where he has quickly given credit to the wrath of God, natural or man made, are irrational, illogical, and hateful.

If memory serves me, which sometimes it doesn’t and you’re free to correct me in the comments below, major judgements of God recorded in the Bible usually allow for the escape of the righteous. Noah was commanded to build an Arc, which saved his family, Lot was commanded to flee Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed with no righteous people living in the cities.

If truly God’s judgement was upon the people of Haiti in this earthquake, I would like to know why God didn’t save those who have committed their lives ministering to others who live on the streets, orphanages, or hospitals. Surely a righteous man could have been found. Why did God not save them like he has before when delivering his wrath?

The reality as I see it is this: The earthquake in Haiti had nothing to do with the wrath of God, and everything to do with the laws of nature which have created areas on earth where things like earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis happen.

I think it’s telling that Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:44-45 tells his diciples, “But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.“

Bad things happen to good people, and good things happen to bad people. We are all subject to what has been placed into motion at creation. It doesn’t have anything to do with religion, and religion also has nothing to do with our choice in how we treat others.

We have the choice to reach out and do something to help those who’s lives have been shattered by the earthquake in Haiti. Please consider contributing to the Red Cross as a way to help. The easiest way is to send a $10 donation by Texting ‘Haiti’ to 90999.

This isn’t the wrath of God, but through our contributions to helping these people, we can be the hands of God that will work to comfort these people and begin to rebuild their lives.
