Pat Robertson doesn't know about Occam's razor...

No, Pat, "god" doesn't do all those "miracles" where people can see just how FAKE they are!

What a dumbass.

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday explained to his viewers that "sophisticated" Americans receive fewer miracles because they learned "things that says God isn’t real," like evolution.

On Monday's episode of CBN's The 700 Club, Robertson responded to a viewer who wanted to know why "amazing miracles (people raised from the dead, blind eyes open, lame people walking) happen with great frequency in places like Africa, and not here in the USA?"

"People overseas didn't go to Ivy League schools," the TV preacher said, laughing. "We're so sophisticated, we think we've got everything figured out. We know about evolution, we know about Darwin, we know about all these things that says God isn't real."

"We have been inundated with skepticism and secularism," he continued. "And overseas, they're simple, humble. You tell 'em God loves 'em and they say, 'Okay, he loves me.' You say God will do miracles and they say, 'Okay, we believe him.'"

"And that's what God's looking for. That's why they have miracles."

...you just have to lower the bar a little bit as to what a miracle is. Today my toast didn't burn.

Now if you were making a grilled cheese and instead got a grilled Cheesus, THAT is a miracle.

"You say God will do miracles and they say, 'Okay, we believe him.'"

Then you steal their natural resources, make billions for yourself, and leave them in dire poverty.
