The Reverend Pat Robertson is once again receiving messages from The Almighty in the form of dire predictions for 2007. This one is a doozy. Robertson says the Lord told him that the US would be hit by a major terrorist attack sometime after September of 2007 involving several major cities and possibly millions of casualties.
Rev. Pat says God is angry with the US for "feigning" friendship with Israel and pushing it towards "national suicide." It's hard to know what to say about a statement that is so patently false.
Robertson claims that he is usually right --like the one where he said President Bush would appoint conservative judges to federal courts (that's a prediction?). Plus he got this directly from the Lord who spoke to him at a recent prayer retreat. I think he's having trouble differentiating the voice of God from the voice of his own preconceived notions.
Can't someone make him stay home and shut up?

isn't this what we all hope and pray for every day? (that he'll stay home, I mean...)
I can't believe he said that.
(Which is what I say every time he opens his mouth. You would think I would learn.)
"I think he's having trouble differentiating the voice of God from the voice of his own preconceived notions."
That's the problem with the vast majority of voices that choose to label themselves 'prophetic'.
He needs to stay home and read his Bible some more.
As in: Deut. 18:22 "If a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord but the thing does not take place or prove true, it is a word that the Lord has not spoken".
And Ezekiel 13 and 14 have some good tests that Mr. Robertson fails repeatedly. He labeled his non prophetic ability himself: "Sometimes I miss". True prophets don't.
So there.
Wow. What a dippy geezer.
But he does keep the bloggers busy on slow news days.... :)
So true ;-)
I love your subject line.
Ditto what Will Spotts and presbyterian gal said.
PresbyG
I worry that his family isn't paying attention to what may be a brain snap.
His neurologist needs to be called in.
Again.
"dippy geezer" is my new favorite phrase!
I predict that this dippy geezer will continue to spout idiotic statements in 2007. Wow- I'm clairvoyant!
