Pat Robertson, host of the 700 Club, states that the earthquake in Haiti can be traced to a pact with the devil made by the Haitian people 200 years ago.
Leaving aside entirely that the story is bogus, I cannot believe that a true Christian could have forgotten these words:
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'"
Sickening. *Sickening*
I am donating to relief for Haiti. I don't have much, but I will do what I can.
