REL?: Pat Robertson Predicting Things Again

[kcchief19]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070102/ap_on_re_us/robertson_prediction

Pat is predicting a "mass killing" later this year from a terrorist attack that may or may not be nuclear -- but certainly "millions" will be affected. No word on how many much weight he predicted he would leg press.

While he did predict Bush would "easily" win re-election in 2004, he also predicted the U.S. would be hit a tsunami in 2006. So invest in duct tape and bottled water at your rown risk.

I like to think of myself as religiously tolerant. As long as you don't try to force your religious beliefs on to me through legislation, I don't care what your religious beliefs are. But can we all agree that Pat Robertson is nuts?

[CamEdwards]

well, I'm in agreement.

2005 predictions... 1/5 aint bad


The economy: "Again, 2005 is going to be a year of extraordinary prosperity for this nation and for CBN [Christian Broadcasting Network]. And I think the American stock market is going to surge upward, if I heard from the Lord. Again, ladies and gentlemen, don't go and buy stock on my recommendation, but that's what I feel in my heart. The Lord was saying it's going to be a super good year."
George W. Bush: "Well, the Lord has some very encouraging news for George Bush ... What I heard is that Bush is now positioned to have victory after victory and that his second term is going to be one of triumph, which is pretty strong stuff. ... He'll have Social Security reform passed. He'll have tax reform passed. He'll have conservative judges on the courts. And that basically he is positioned for a series of dramatic victories which I hope will hearten him and his advisers. They don't have to be timid in this matter because the wind is blowing at his back, and he can move forward boldly and get results."
Muslims and others turning to Jesus Christ: "In America, again if I'm hearing God right, we will see a tremendous incident of miracles in the year 2005. ... God's spirit is going to be moving in dramatic power around the world. And his spirit is going to be touching the hearts of many in the Muslim world and they will be turning to the gospel, to Jesus Christ. I think many of them already are, but this is going to be an acceleration that will really amaze the world. ... 'Revival will break out throughout the Muslim world, my [God's] truth will penetrate their hearts. The hold of that falsehood that has gripped them will be broken.'"
Terrorism and global security: "2005 will be another good year for the world. The terrorist threat will diminish. Nations will walk in peace, but it will be an illusion. The peril to Israel is greater now than it has ever been for she will be seduced into a false peace that will leave her vulnerable."
The Supreme Court: "The vendetta against religion in America is about to end. ... 'I [God] will remove judges from the Supreme Court quickly and their successors will refuse to sanction the attacks on religious faith.'"

[Easy Mac]

well, technically .5/5, since the Supreme Court got 2 judges, but nothing new on the whole religious part of it (plus it lost 1 conservative in Rehnquist)

This really doesn't seem like all that out-on-a-limb a prediction.

[Raiders Army]

Safest one ever. If we're not attacked, he can point out "I warned you and the government listened!" If we're attacked, he can say "I told you so!"

:rolleyes:

On another note, I picked up The God Delusion today.

[WVUFAN]

But can we all agree that Pat Robertson is nuts?

Yup. Nuttier than a Baby Ruth.

[Greyroofoo]

Did he make any predictions about the Raiders?

Is this in doubt?

[Schmidty]

Pat Robertson is an embarrassment, and one of the biggest reasons that christians are being dismissed and hated more and more.

[duckman]

God spoke to me and told me that Pat Robertson is fucking insane.

[Rizon]

Pat Robertson is who I thought he was.

[st.cronin]

Pat Robertson is to Christianity what IMetTrentGreen is to FOFC.

[KWhit]

Wow. 3 funny posts in a row.

Yes, I know that this one ends the streak, but it couldn't have gone on forever anyway, could it?

We'll never know. I had something insanely funny, but I was only going to post it to lengthen a streak. You can just forget it now.

[Subby]

4 out of 5!

[JediKooter]

I predict that Pat Robertson will die sometime in the future.

[cougarfreak]

Did he make any predictions about the Raiders?

Raider will good look in season pre.

"...again if I'm hearing God right..."


See, even nutty Pat Robertson knows how to give himself an out. You've got some learnin' to do, Nick Saban!

By definition I guess that would be Communist, wouldn't it?
