Makes as much sense as blaming it on global warming.

Except for all the credentialed climatologists suggesting just such a causal link. But they don't count, as long as you can find one right-wing think-tank funded study that suggests otherwise, right?

I just checked one of the Fred Phelps sites (godhatesamerica.com) and was not surprised that their opening article is "Thank God for Katrina".

There is a huge difference between Robertson and Phelps, and also the main reason that Phelps will not get the media attention that Robertson gets:
Besides the obvious hatred of the Phelps cult, they also have very negative views of George Bush, Ronald Reagan, the Pope, Reggie White, etc.

The big difference between Robertson and Phelps is that Robertson is smart enough to only think the things Fred Phelps actually says. He understands where the line is between buffoonery and insanity.

You must be a Packers fan to have put this list together :D

HUH? All I did was read some of the articles at godhatesamerica.com to get that list. The articles titled "Reagan in Hell" and "Reggie White in Hell" were obvious, and other articles that referred to Bush as the "Pervert-in-Chief" ....

And just FYI, I was a Packers fan when I lived in Wisconsin. Vince Lombardi made the Packers into a winning team and he was truly an inspiration.
Let's hope the Pack will be back!

he loves getting money.

hey, who doesn't? You know you get all excited when you get a card from Granny...all that hype about opening up the card and getting that crisp $10 bill.

If anyone would like my address to send money, I would not mind. Thanks for the idea.:thumbsup:

I think the only difference between what Pat Robertson says and what a lot of Christians say is that he has a public forum from which to say it. There aren't many good Christians who haven't said privately that some of this nation's tragedies are part of a greater judgement we're bringing on ourselves. Whether or not that's true is up for debate, but let's not throw stones at the man for not bowing down to politically correct 'rules'. He states his mind, and whether he's right or wrong is for us to debate, but his right to say it is not.

If this is true, I'm :sick:

If someone made this up just for "laughs", I'm :sick:

Stop it people (not directed at any posters at CF, but the one's that come up with it and distribute it.). Katrina victims/survivors are NOT the butt of your jokes!!!

No, it's not true. Robertson didn't say it and the datelinehollywood that was used as a source for this thread is recognized as SATIRE.

Someone already posted the link from snopes which said the story was FALSE:

And something else that is true: people seem like they have nothing better to do than judge other people. I am using a verse a lot that should NOT be used as much as it is...
So which is better, to have a Christian outright saying his sin (as the propaganda site made him to say) or doing things in private. A sin is a sin...
And whoever is blameless, step forward, and pick up a stone.

Sorry, I didn't see the Snopes link earlier in this thread,as for what Pat Robertson SUPPOSEDLY did really say,I would say AMEN & AMEN! But the way all our media lies and twists things,we actually should never believe or repeat ANY quote unless we have heard it with our own ears!
