AMEN! I was amazed myself when I read it. People like him are truly heroes, and are the REAL heroes out there.

Hey, someone needs to write Pat Robertson and invite him to our forums for the best weather info. I am not the best writer. Any volunteers?

He hears voices? what a lunatic. he is a santimonious racist homophobe who needs to take a few steps back and remember what happens to those who live in glass houses. :grr:

But hey, if you send him $20, it means you CARE. :lol:

And so when you contribute $20 a month to The 700 Club, you are saying, "I care about people. I care about my neighbors, I care about my friends, I care about those who are suffering."

so if i keep it, it means i care more about me than him, right? that would be ENTIRELY accurate. the man is a fraud. i'll continue to send my money to those who I know will take care of the issues that i'm concerned about: the environment, Israel, hungry Americans, finding a cure of for AIDS and two more groups I wont list here because of the ban on politics. :D

He don't think he actually "hears voices." Most of the time, when someone says they "hear" the Lord (or whoever it is to whom they are praying), what they "hear" is sort of what they "feel" when they pray. "Feel" probably isn't even the right word.

But that's the thing about faith -- it's believing in something you can't see...or hear...or put your finger on. A lot of people, regardless of what religion or faith they are, "hear" in that way when they pray. They're not hearing God actually talk to them. What they're getting is that inner spiritual guidance, peace, and comfort. Their faith guides them and provides the answers or path on which to travel. At least, that's the best way I can describe it.

Then again, there are those who make false claims in the name of their god or in the name of their religion. We see it all the time - cults, religious extremists, some televangelists. They do it for their own benefit. To quote Amy Grant, "ya gotta know who to, who not to listen to."

Yes, and I think that is the comfort of praying. I think when people pray hard over an issue, when they are done, it may give them time to think or change their mind. I think praying is a comfort or time out. It always has helped me.

Everybody talks to God...that's a sign of faith.
When God talks to you.....that's insanity.

God works in mysterious ways, and for any mortal human being to claim they know what God is thinking is insulting to God, IMO.

As a Christian I have a difficult time believing that God purposely destroyed areas of the coast. I also have a problem with someone who says that they should assininate such and such.

Now that God might had come to him in prayer and said that the US Coast will be hit by hurricanes I believe but not because God is planing revenge on us. The God I believe in doesn't wreck havoc on people but is there with them during the storms and the aftermath.

Great way of saying that, and I agree.

Actually, he was ALREADY way over the edge LONG before he just said this. He ALWAYS has been over the edge.

The thing that really amazes me is that after all the outlandish predictions that are made don't come through, people still believe in these "men of God".

Back in 1999, when all the hype about the Y2K Bug was the order of the day, a so called prophet visited Barbados where, as the invited guest speaker at a special church service, he predicted all kinds of terrible things that would happen to the world in 2000 as computer systems went haywire. My sisters attended attended that service and they both wholeheartedly believed everything he said.

Fast forward to 2006:

Would you believe that guy still has a large following with many buying his videos and books? Why, in this day and age, are people so gullible?

You could say the same for politicians. Why do people still cling to them when they do dumb things?

EXCELLENT point... I know all "politics" is local... but when I see some of the folks they keep putting in office, I seriously wonder about the "locals".

Okay...'nuff said before I broach unfriendly waters!
