Pat Robertson Casts 'Shield Of Protection' Ahead Of Hurricane Florence

[Logicman]

Storms hurt everyone. They don't pick and choose based on your ideas of morality. Storms don't choose anything at all. All natural things just happen to all kinds of people.

If and/or when God wants to protect one or more of his people, or even a city, he can do it. The Old Testament has numerous examples of that.

And there's no way you can ever disprove it.

LOL What a delusional nut. :lol:

And when the damage occurs he will blame it on gay people.

And when the damage occurs he will blame it on gay people.

Even though the NT negates the OT and Jesus remained unmarried at a time when all adult males married.

 

[Risky Thicket]

Why, you Irish rascal!

 

[nota bene]

True. Some people need the crutch of religion. Fine with me just as long as they do not try to force their beliefs on others.

Just as some need to belittle those of faith at every opportunity and just as some try to force their unbelief on others in the most mocking of ways. That's what I don't understand, zyzygy--that need to go out of one's way to be uncharitable rather than just scrolling past. Why spend the energy? What need does this satisfy?

Statistics prove you wrong.

Well, if he is delusional, no harm, no foul. The fact that he may bring some comfort to those who seek it seems to be lost on some.

zyzygy was agreeing with a post that faith in something could bring comfort. A claim that I questioned much more strongly. Having faith that a magical shield can protect you from a storm is a a dangerous thing. What protects you is taking the appropriate steps to get out of harms way. zyzygy was quite charitable in his mild view.

A Ghanaian man has reportedly been shot dead while testing whether a magic spell has made him bulletproof.

A Ghanaian news agency reported that the man, Aleobiga Aberima, from the village of Lambu in northeastern Ghana, had asked a jujuman -- a local witchdoctor -- to make him invincible to bullets.

After smearing his body with a concoction of herbs every day for two weeks, a fellow villager volunteered to shoot him to check whether the spell had actually worked.

He died instantly from a single bullet.

The news agency said angry villagers then attacked the witchdoctor, and beat him severely until he was rescued by a villager elder.

If TV evangelists and the like were severely beaten every time their "prophecies" and promises fail then they would soon stop conning people.

Glad that you're getting your kicks, zyzygy, but what a sad, negative way to find pleasure.

Believing in the existence of a god. What a sad and negative way to live.

How about those sinners in the Carolinas? 6 dead so far. What did they do to displease Him?

He'll think of something. It will be nothing to do do with reality but he'll think of it.

Again, you willfully miss my point. Whether one believes in God or doesn't or prefers one brand of laundry soap over another, what's sad is somebody else is so focused on your business and takes pleasure in seeking you out to criticize. I don't get it; to each his own has always been an easy concept for me.

Tell Logicman that when he rubs his hands with glee at the thought of me burning in hell forever.

That's your opinion, and you right to voice such. Whether it's good judgement to expose yourself to be so mean and petty is something else.

Nothing mean and petty about wishing eternal torture on a fellow human being!

You gonna jump off a bridge because he does as well?

He also declared a “shield of protection” over the Virginia area in which he was speaking and around “innocent people” in the storm’s path.

What he didn't realize at the time was by sparing VA, he evidently affected it stop over NC, to the detriment of "innocent people" there...

No, that was not the point.

If Pat had that much influence with god why didn't he just pray to god to disappear the storm?

Well, he did...it didn't work...

“In Jesus’ holy name, be out to sea!” he called out.
