Devil Worship in Haiti

[The Grim Ghost]

Pat Robertson has let all of us know that the people of Haiti are to blame for the horrible earthquake that just hit them. It seems they entered into a pact with Satan to free them from the French.

So yeah according to Pat they had to coming to them.

Thanks a lot Pat!

Classy.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

When did he say that?

 

[Awesome Possum]

He didn't waste any time did he?

 

[Kemaiku]

Of course...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

More proof is required.

 

[Locutus of Bored]

More proof is required.

If only there were some sort of engine for searching for information online so you didn't have to appear so incredulous that Pat Robertson would say this sort of scummy thing he's said many times before.

Destro, in the future, please post a link to the story in your OP. Thanks.

NEW YORK (CBS) Pat Robertson, the American Christian televangelist and host of "The 700 Club," said that Haitians need to have a "great turning to god" while he was reporting on the devastating 7.0 earthquake that shook the island nation — the most powerful to hit the country in a century.

As Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said "well over" 100,000 people may have died in the national disaster, Robertson took to the airwaves Wednesday on his show and said that the country has been "cursed by one thing after another" since they "swore a pact to the devil."

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about," Robertson said Tuesday.

"They were under the heel of the French, you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.' True story. And so the devil said, 'Ok it’s a deal.' And they kicked the French out. The Haitians revolted and got something themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another," Robertson said.

Video of Robertson's comments in the link just in case you don't believe text either.

To my ability, words can not describe coherently this man.

Did the Haitians actually attempt to strike a deal with the devil? If so, I can see him making these comments. If they didn't it's a stupid thing to say. And the timing isn't that good either.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Interesting. So he's actually talking about Haitian Revolution, which was the only lasting successful slave rebellion in America (and actually a very cool story, anyone here know Burn!? Phantastic movie imo).

I think he's in fact that the black slaves were in league with the devil, since of course there's no other way they could have beaten the European colonialists.

I have one, "douchebag". Well its a start anyway.

 

[Jetfire]

There is "devil worship" everywhere...so?

I think Pat is crazy...IMHO.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Looks like Pat Robertson's God is still punishing people for the sins of their ancestors.

 

[James Bond]

This is just more proof this retard and the retards who follow him aren't real Christians. Most modern theologians don't beleive you can actually make a deal with the Devil, ie. selling your soul, etc.

I can't believe anybody actually believes things like the above.

It's baffling that in 2010 there are still people who think there's such a thing as "making a deal with the devil" literally.

I think it may be time for a colorful metaphor.

TLC believes every bit of this kind of shit, don't you remember the thread the other day were he proudly claimed he'd kill his own children for it?

While I don't doubt the veracity of the OP's report, I'd appreciate a link to read such douchebaggery for myself.

Thanks!
