Religious Broadcaster Pat Robertson Predicts Horrific Terrorist Attack on U.S. in 2007
Tuesday, January 02, 2007

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia — Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted Tuesday a horrific terrorist act on the United States that will result in "mass killing" late in 2007.
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.


IMO:
We have no shortage of home grown nutjobs.....

[Teabagger]

Poor Pat...he needs to fire whoever is supposed to be monitoring his meds...he obviously has taken a med vacation.

[Red Ketchup]

Man, does his "prayer retreat" involve peyote and ancient native purification and vision quest rituals? (though in his case I'd lean more towards a "ritual" involving a cheap motel room with lotsa crack and a 17 year old male "escort"...)

Although the reality that we will be attacked again at some point in time is as certain as rainfall in Florida. The Idea that GOD gave him this prediction only allows for the inevitable "I told you so" when it does happen, subsequently weak minded people will fall for his BS.

[biglouie250]

funny thing how he forgot to ask god when and where.....that little tid bit of info might have come in handy.

[3Vandoo]

God told me "I've never talked to him ever!!!!!!!"

[Tock]

FYI, the full story (not that it makes him look any smarter):

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "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 about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.

God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election.

Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005 Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006.

Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

So . . . Robertson says "God told me this," eh? And supposedly God told him other things that did not come to pass?

Well well well . . . then, according to the terms of the Bible, Pat Robertson is a false prophet, and should be executed. Read on . . .


Deuteronomy Chapter 18, verses 20 - 22:

"20": But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

"21": And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

"22": When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


Lucky for him, I'm not a Christian, else I would have to comply with this verse with all the enthusiasm other folks have for the anti-sodomy verses. I wonder if he has a single Bible-beleiving Christian in his church? If so, I'd be afraid . . . very, very afraid . . .

I swear I was just thinking this... He probably hallucinated the whole thing while trying to press a ton lol.

[uponone23]

i'm jewish... You should read in Torah what christians call the book of Leviticus I believe about the specific laws pertaining to "false prophets" and "soothsayers". It gets a little more graphic lol.... But yeah by the law of Torah he should be executed if this does not come to pass...

God Denies Talking to Pat


Posted on Jan 5, 2007
By Andy Borowitz

Just days after the Rev. Pat Robertson claimed on his “700 Club” program that God warned him of “mass killings” in the United States late in 2007, God held a rare press conference today to deny having spoken to the controversial televangelist.

For the usually publicity-shy King of the Universe, the press conference held at the Chicago Airport Marriott signaled a sharp break with tradition.

But appearing before the press in His trademark flowing robes and white beard, and carrying what appeared to be a lightning bolt, God said that He decided to convene the extraordinary press briefing because “I had to set the record straight about this.”

"I want to make it clear that at no time at the end of the year did I have any conversation with the Rev. Pat Robertson,” the Supreme Being said. “Personally, I think the guy is delusional.”

God then distributed His personal phone logs for the month of December to prove that He had in fact no contact with the Rev. Robertson.

"I don’t make a habit of talking to TV personalities,” God emphasized. “Although on New Year’s Eve I did have a brief chat with Ryan Seacrest to wish him good luck.”

Answering a reporter’s question, God acknowledged that with war raging around the globe, 2006 had been a “difficult year” for the forces of goodness, but He remained upbeat, pointing to some of His accomplishments in the year just past.

"At least I got Judith Regan fired,” He said.

Elsewhere, Britney Spears checked into a rehab center after being driven there by her 1-year-old son, Sean Preston.
