Pure Evil Alert: Pat Robertson on Haiti
And you know Christy, something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French, uh you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True Story. And so the Devil said OK it's a deal. And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they've been cursed by one thing after the other desperately poor. That island is Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle. On one side is Haiti on the other side is the Dominican republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc.. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God, and out of this tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come.
He's actually said this before, a few years ago during another crisis in Haiti. He is a really bad person. Reminds me of my Christian co-worker who did missionary work in Oaxaca and calls the indigenous religion there "witchcraft". In their thinking there is the "right" religion of Christianity, the misguided religions of Judaism and Islam, and the rest is pretty much satanism/witchcraft.
mamiel, you don't even have to believe in "right" or "wrong" religions to say horrible things like that. Take, for instance, Sharon Stone's comment about the Chinese earthquake being karma. If someone dares to speak on behalf of a deity or karma, the very act is impious.
Comment moderation on for all posts older than 4 days. However, I never censor or block views of people that I disagree with, unlike some intellectually lazy cowards.
