Pat Robertson Blames God for the Earthquake in Haiti
SharePat Robertson is at it again. You may remember Pat from a few years back when he blamed God for hurricane Katrina. It looks like God is back at it again. According to Pat, God is ticked off at Haiti for something slaves did over 200 years ago. I’m not sure why the delay (I suggest asking Pat to find out) but yesterday, according … Continue reading
