Pat Robertson, yet again, spews his insensitivity while justifying it with his brand of Christianity. According to Robertson, the earthquake disaster was the result of Haiti’s “pact with the devil” that they made to escape French slavery. Even if you feel that way (because your mind is as small as your heart), why would you want to insult all of those people, families, and friends affected by this act of Mother Nature?

Chris Roslan, spokesman for CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network), tried to do damage control by stating that Robertson never said the earthquake was “God’s wrath” as many reports claim. Okay…he didn’t, but it’s clear that was implied as he went on about Haiti’s misfortune and the Dominican Republic’s prosperity, the so-called “pact with the devil”, and how’s it’s a blessing in disguise to have the buildings leveled. Did we forget that 50,000 have died?!

I don’t generally have links in my posts, however, I am making an exception. At the bottom of this post is an outside link to a video; watch for yourself the hatred shared with his viewers. Perhaps he did not use the phrase “God’s wrath”, but the message was clear.

Men like Robertson give ALL Christians a bad rap that they don’t deserve. It paints all Christian as being hateful, intolerant, and, most importantly, unconcerned for their fellow man. As a very recognizable figure, his reckless use of his influence is truly unfortunate.

What is frightening is I know there were plenty of people at home cheering him on. *shivers*
