n what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in “mass killing” late in 2007.

“I’m not necessarily saying it’s going to be nuclear,” he said during his news-and-talk television show “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “The Lord didn’t say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that.”

Robertson said God told him during a recent prayer retreat that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.



Maybe this belongs in the atheist thread

Is this the same Pat Robertson that said Muslims are unfit for high office?

Heh. This guy's hilarious. If you've ever watched his show, he does this "Word of knowledge" thing (I think that's what they call it) where he and his co-host squeeze their eyes shut and Pat somehow gets a "Word of Knowledge" from the voices in his head he's named "God", about the viewers out there.

It's along the lines of:

Oh! I'm receiving a word of knowledge right now about someone out there with severe migraines! God has just told me that he is healing your migraine right now! Oh, and I just received another word of knowledge! Someone out there who has a chronic bad back - you've been suffering for years! God just healed you!

Then the next segment is a voiceover telling people to call their prayerline if they were the person God healed - Pat wants to hear from you RIGHT NOW, glory be! And just before or just after the segment, Pat and his host talk about the messages they've received from people who were healed by their last word of knowledge segments.

Just wild.

I am sure if we all just pray enough and send money we can avert the disaster. Either Pat can claim a connection to the higher powers.

The memoryhole wili, has an comprehensive bio on Pat! Showing him in all his bigoted lying glory!

quote:
Many of Robertson's views mirror those of the evangelical activist Jerry Falwell, who has made frequent appearances on The 700 Club. He agreed with Falwell when Falwell stated[18] that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way."
...

During the presidential primary election season started in early 1988, Robertson's campaign was attacked because of a statement he had made about his military service. In his campaign literature, he stated he was a combat Marine who served in the Korean War. Other Marines in his battalion contradicted Robertson's version, claiming he had never spent a day in a combat environment. Instead of fighting in the war, Robertson's primary responsibility was supplying alcoholic beverages for his officers...

In 1999, Robertson entered into a joint venture with the Bank of Scotland to provide financial services in the United States. However, the move was met with criticsm in the UK due to Robertson's views on homosexuality. After Robertson commented that Scotland was "a dark land overrun by homosexuals", the Bank of Scotland cancelled the venture

Shuckins, eh. Too bad it hasn't stopped this brown-nosing little charlatan and Republican hack from getting into illegal but highly profitable mining ventures in Liberia thanks in part to his connection with its fascistic president (and US puppet) Charles Taylor.

I remember Robertson show being broadcast weekly on Russian TV about a decade ago.
I guess a few people might raise eyebrows-but its true. In early 90's, American cultural imperialism has saturated Russian media. Almost all movies shown (on TV) were from Hollywood.

That Pat character must've paid quite a few green to get on air. Not sure if he had any following. But strange nonetheless...
