Whew. For a minute there, I was worried.

While I don’t wish tragedy on anyone, I think it’d be a hoot if Isabel leveled Robertson’s little empire.
Greaaaaaaat. Now when it causes minimal damage other than a bunch of rain, he’ll claim it was his “wall” that done did it.
Wow, cool. If I knew you could call on Jay-esus to give you your very own force field, I’d have been in church every freaking day.
Yeah, what? Now we have to hope that we get sent over the rainbow?
Man, that takes all the fun out of it.
Think if I send him a check I can get my own personal Wall of Protection[sub]tm[/sub]?
And if it causes substantial damage, he’ll blame it on gays, liberals, and the ACLU. There’s no winning with that :wally.
You know, I have no love for the guy, but I can’t really argue with what he’s praying for here. I want it to turn and go out to sea, too. It’d be better for a lot of people.
Just sayin’ is all.
Rick, I couldn’t find any reference to the quoted material in the link provided in the OP.
Y’all know that this is the 2nd time that Robertson’s done the old “Pray and ask God to save my Broadcasting Empire from the Satanic, Liberal, Homosexual Hurricane” right?
The first time was back in the late 1980’s early '90’s.
Now that’s a blow job!
Actually, he does this shit whenever a hurricane gets anywhere close to here. There was 1995, when Hurricane Felix was Headed Right For Us, and ol’ Pat made him go away. And of course, who could forget Hurricane Gloria in 1985? Pat made a few calls, and Gloria just missed us and slammed into Long Island and Connecticut instead. :rolleyes: Pat’s God is a bit of a dick, apparently.
God could have saved a lot of lives by steering Typhoon Maemi away from South Korea. It’d have been a lot better for those people in the Bahamas if God had changed the course of hurricane Fabian, too.
But I guess they didn’t pray hard enough?
I wonder if Pat Robertson prayed for God to deflect the storms bearing down on them?
Didn’t Robertson once pray for a hurricane to hit Florida as payback to Disney World for treating gay people like actual humans?
The hurricane went off course and nailed Robertson’s HQ in North Carolina instead. It made me seriously rethink my agnosticism. 
That would be Chesapeake, VA.
True. Probably my favorite story in the “what happens when you tell God what to do” category.
Actually, this has two effect, both good:
-
If Isabel does veer off to sea, that’s obviously a good thing.
-
If it doesn’t, Pat is exposed as a false prophet to all the faithful who have been listening to him. Do be sure to point this out in religious arguments henceforth!
Thanks for the correction.
If only. The religious haven’t been affected by the failure of prayers since before the first paleolithic hunter didn’t get a good kill even though he painted a really nice buffalo on the cave wall.
There’s always plenty of excuses, with the final one being the hoary “God moves in mysterious ways.”
Although I don’t like Pat I must say in his defense that I don’t think there is anything wrong praying to God and asking for anything whether it is to pay a bill, heal a child, mend a relationship or even the weather.
There’s nothing wrong with praying for the storm to move off to see (other than the fact that prayers to a non-existent god are a waste of your time). What’s wrong is that should the storm veer off Robertson will then take credit for it, using it to bilk more dollars out of gullible fools.
