Why Pat Robem$ome LOVES Hurricanes

[Walt Starr]

PAt Robem$ome LOVES hurricanes. The reason for this is every hurricane that is heading towards the United States is a win-win gambit for him. HE CANNOT LOSE.

Many people scoff at him calling for his followers to pray that God diverts the course of the hurricane. He has claimed success with these prayers numerous times whenever a high pressure system is far enough out into the Atlantic that the backside flow pulls the hurricane up along the East Coast without it making landfall.

So what happens if the prayers fail such as with the case of Isabel? Simple, he merely claims that the prayers of the righteous were not strong enough to overcome God's Wrath at this nation allowing abortion and the homosexual agenda. That lesbianism, homosexuality, abortion, non-Christians, and Pagans are all respoonsible because they've made God angry.

Like I said, this is no bet on Robem$ome's part. This is a sure thing for him. He's been pulling this particular scam for at least a quarter century that I know of.

1. The idea that prayer works

is complete nonsense anyway. I've long been amazed at how people fool themselves about it. Either God answered their prayers or, God had good reason to deny the request, or the one praying wasn't devout enough, etc, etc. So no matter what happens, it's all proof of God. What crap.

2. Or he could say

... that the damage could have been worse if Pat didn't intervene with prayer.

Fundies are always right ... in their mind.

5. I believe he used that the last time one hit VA Beach

so really,that's another golden oldie in the hits collection of Robem$ome hurricanes.

3. True enough, yet

It seems his cloud-riding deity seems to be about to run a pretty massive humdinger of a storm just about over Robertson Command Central in Virginia Beach. Maybe a sign that he hasn't been letting God in on the lucre to a sufficient degree?

Oh, the divine Anger is curiously humorful at times.

Btw, Robertson is remarkably correct theologically. The pre-Christian god that his theology is most built around, the Indoeuropean 'Pater Dyeus', is in fact the major storm god of that religion/society/culture and most of Europe a few millenia ago. (The name means 'Heavenly/Sky-dwelling Father' and became (D)yu-piter=Jupiter in Latin, (d)seus=Zeus in Greek.)

Of course that makes him a revisionist and a pagan of the old variety, but I think we already knew that his religion doesn't take the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as more than a facade.

4. God works in mysterious ways,

unless you're a fundy, then it's all very, very clear.
