t took about five nanoseconds for evangelical Pat Robertson’s video verdict on the causes of the Haiti earthquake to start making the rounds in France. //
Pat Robertson, shown here endorsing Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani during a Washington news conference in Nov. 2007, said that Haiti has been 'cursed' because of what he called a 'pact with the devil' in its history. His spokesman said the comments were based on Voodoo rituals that Robertson believes were carried out before a slave rebellion against French colonists in 1791. Kevin Wolf/AP/File
Mr. Robertson’s theory that Haitian slaves made a “pact with the devil” 200 years ago in order to free themselves from the hated clutches of Napoleon Bonaparte's regime – resulting in a curse that led to the destruction of much of Port-au-Prince and a massive loss of life in Tuesday's earthquake – got the usual chuckles of disbelief among local intelligentsia about American culture.

Nice to see you again!

If ya can't live by Jesus' teachings... don't call yourself a Christian.

It always amazes me these so called television Christian leaders say such antichristian statements so against their own Bible and beliefs and yet some people believe them.

Damn I'm glad I'm a sane one.

Julia, that's cool as long as you remember that we're in the Twenty-FIRST-Century and not the Twentieth.

Popeye's paperboy's been sick, that's all.

As to the OP - have any Haitian spiritual leaders offered any theories yet on what unholy transgression our country committed to have been cursed with Pat Robertson?

Whatever it is that we did, i just hope we thoroughly enjoyed it. Considering the price we seem to have paid.

Robertson does understand what heresy and blasphemy are, right?

And he does understand the traditional, God-fearing method for dealing with heretics and blasphemers?
