Robertson: God Says Tsunami Possible For U.S.

POSTED: 9:19 pm EDT May 17, 2006

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- The Rev. Pat Robertson says God has told him that storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network has told viewers of "The 700 Club" that the revelations came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8.

He added specifics in Wednesday's show.

1. Will SOMEBODY shut this asshat up??

Really, nothing violent, but enough is enough, isn't it?

[idgiehkt]

3. I second that.

I swear God himself is gonna sue this asshole for misrepresentation if he keeps it up.

[motocicleta]

11. He's my greatest proof that there is no god.

Even though Robertson himself hasn't been able to extinguish my agnosticism, I would think that if there existed anything like the god he describes Pat would have been squished like a bug a long time ago.
The only thing that will shut him up? A ton of americans finally growing a brain and turning off the TV.

16. He's proof the God has a sense of humor.

[BlueEyedSon]

18. nothing funny about him, more like a sense of TRAGEDY

[demosincebirth]

24. I gotta laugh at him otherwise I'd go nuts with those jokers.

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. The collective mind

shouts out a 1000 'shut the fuck ups'.

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Would someone tell that asshole

that God says to shut up?

[Swamp Rat]

4. I wish Jeebus would reach down from the sky and pinch off his head.

5. If (a) there is a God, and (b) he/she/it talks to people,

we can be reasonably sure that one of those people is *not* Pat Robertson.

[Patsy Stone]

6. Please stop.

My sides hurt too much.

[gaspee]

10. And TFSM told me

That stomrs are gonna hit somewhere in the US this year! I'd even wager all the money I don't have that it's a 100% possibilty that storms are going to hit the US sometime this year. hey look! It's almost hurricane season...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

12. What did Pat's God do to Iraq all these years?? Any killer

hurricanes?? Thousands of twisters?? How about 50 mil without healthcare, or perhaps an earthquake or two, a St. Helens?? Floods, there had to be floods, Oh... oh... wildfires consuming the countryside and the houses built too near tinderbox forests.... hmmmm interesting. The only bad things done to Iraq were done primarily by U.S.

[bklyncowgirl]

13. Oh Goody Pat Robertson's talking to God again.

Let's see hurricane season is coming. It's pretty much inevitable that some part of the U.S. is going to be hit by storms and given the problems caused by Global Warming it's probably going to be bad.

Did it every occur to Roberson that the truly pissed off deity in question might not be the Christian God but Mother Nature herself.

[Tsiyu]

14. So do the scientists

Y'think Gawd and the scientists got together?

[Benhurst]

15. My refrigerator told me the same thing last week.

:silly:

[BlueEyedSon]

17. It's global warming, you insane religious cleric!

[CatholicEdHead]

19. Is he encouraging "atmopsheric terrorism" by this?

When does Mother Nature get shipped to Gitmo because of this?

[NanceGreggs]

20. Memo to Pat:

I spoke to God just a few hours ago. I mentioned your name. He said he doesn't know you, and never heard of you. I asked if he was serious, and he said, "No, honest to Myself, don't know the guy."

He said there's a lot of this going around lately, people saying they know him, have a personal relationship with him, yadda, yadda. Said it makes him laugh sometimes.

As for your comment, "If I heard the Lord right ...," God said that maybe you should ask whatever god it is you're channeling to give you better hearing. (And he totally cracked-up when he said that, being as he knows he's the one true God, no other gods before him and all). Let me tell you, you haven't LIVED until you've seen God ROFL like he did just then!

I was going to ask him what's in store for the country and the world this year. But I figure that's His business.

BTW, I KNOW the God I spoke to isn't the same one you represent, because the whole time we were together, he never advocated murdering anyone, and he didn't ask me for a DIME.

22. Guess it's time to sell that oceanfront property. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Or tie Robertson firmly to it................

[Ex Lion Tamer]

25. God: Pat Robertson doesn't speak for me.

Just stating the obvious.

[pdxmom]

26. Ummm....isn't this the same information that the National Weather

Service gave us a few months ago? What he's saying is that there are going to be big storms during the summer (duh!) and there COULD be a big earthquake in the ocean around the ring of fire that might cause a tsunami. Those of us here in Pacific Northwest are well aware of that information, thankyouverymuch. Don't know if it came straight from God, but I read stuff about it in the Oregonian a few months ago.
