I'm shocked! or, "maybe Pat Robertson doesn't hear so well"

U.S. Christian broadcaster predicts terrorist attack

WASHINGTON – Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him a terrorist attack will result in “mass killing” in the United States in the second half of 2007.
“I'm not saying necessarily nuclear, the Lord didn't say nuclear,” Robertson said Tuesday on his television show “The 700 Club.” “It'll be mass killing, possibly millions of people, major cities.

“The evil people will come after this country and there's a possibility, not a possibility, a definite certainty, that chaos is going to rule,” he added.


It would be poor form to accuse G-d of lying to Robertson, so I'll conclude that Robertson maybe needs a hearing aid.

Note: Robertson seemed to go out of his way to correct himself. The dire prediction "that chaos is going to rule" is NOT a "possibility" but a "definite certainty".

Next time a politician gets all comfy with the Rev. Robertson, remember this. Pat might in fact talk with G-d, but he doesn't seem to hear very well!

He was probably referring to the abortions.

By the way, I looked up "Your Rugged Constitution" on Amazon.com and found that you can get a copy for $3.80. If I had your address I would have bought you a copy. It appears that current editions may still be in print. It really is intreguing to think what may be in (or left out) of current editions.
