Pat Robertson's Devlish Comments on Haiti: Chris Vaughn

I must be honest, I'm always amazed and perplexed by some of the totally stupid things that religious men sometimes say. The fact that Pat Robertson, a self-proclaimed Man of God, would tell his followers that the terrible catastrophe that befell the people of Haiti this week just smacks of the wronged head and warped view of Christ's message that this man has. I'm not too sure if Mr. Robertson every ponders the question 'What would Jesus do?,' but it's clearly obvious that he gives very little thought to what Jesus would say to his followers at a time like this.
 
I think most people in the world have been touched by the massive destruction that has occurred in Haiti, and at the loss of life that has swept across Haiti as a result of the earthquake. The lives lost weren't just those of the Haitians, but of those from many different parts of the world whom where in Haiti to help lives of the citizens on that island. People with humanitarian goals were living and working there to help the people who live in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and it is truly a disservice to their loss, and their memories, for a 'Man of Faith" like Pat Robertson to say some ludicrous nonsense about pacts with the devil being at the heart of the earthquake that ravaged this island.
 
Maybe if Pat Robertson would take a moment to reflect on just what true people of faith and conscience would say and do at a time like this for his fellow man, he wouldn't be babbling on about superstitious mumbo jumbo, and would just embrace to true call to offer words of comfort and hope to a people who need it most right now.
