Seriously. Pat Robertson talks, thinks and acts like no Christian I know. Yesterday he inexplicably said Haitians brought the earthquake on themselves because the country has been "cursed" since it made a pact with Satan in the 18th century. (An assertion disputed by this Haitian minister.)
Really Pat? So where does Jesus' message of loving one's neighbor and helping the poor and lost come into all this? These people somehow "deserved" this!? Instead of calling a country cursed during a national tragedy, Christian leaders should be focusing on what so many Christians already are doing—leading the charge with prayer, sacrificial aid and demonstrating the love of Christ. Christians should be known for healing, not causing more hurt.
And if you can't get down with that Pat just start by shutting your mouth. Please. You speak and act like nothing I read about in the Gospel of grace, mercy and love.

Just saw this:

...and while I'm a tad freaked out about the idea of speaking for the devil, I sorta think this commentary is spot on.
