"Fire and brimstone" preachers in Robertson's tradition give a lot of weight to the old testament.

I am very uncomfortable with Robertson's confidence in his own words. He claims to know God's will with regard to currents events but obviously his analysis departs from the narrative of the bible.

Yes the God of Genesis destroyed the world in a flood and destroyed Sodom for its sins, but in both cases, according to the narrative, he spared all of the "righteous" people in those places. Is Mr. Robertson saying that the missionaries in Haiti, and the Churches in New Orleans EVEN FROM HIS OWN DENOMINATION, were part of that pact with the devil, were part of the "sins" of New Orleans?

In the Old Testament collateral damage was not part of God's plan. Modern disasters are not God's retribution. And thank God for this, Pat Robertson is a silly TV host and not an Old Testament Prophet.

The things that Robertson said that disturbed me most. The thing that proved in my opinion that he was not a follower of Christ's teachings was his wish that the US murder Hugo Chavez.

Christ did not say "Love thy neighbor except when he nationalizes the property thy oil companies store from peasants. If thy neighbor Nationalizes then smite him under cover of darkness."
