God's PR Problem

Pat Robertson on Haiti Disaster
by burghnews

Well if demons are supposed to manifest as thought patterns designed to alter your behavior, such as that crow outside the window warning me not to blog, or weak props for a cult like Islam, Pat Robertson's kinda right but I don't think the day after a huge disaster is the best time to flap heavy-handed whimsy.

The earthquake was centered about 10 miles west of the city, the U.S. Geological Survey said. “Crowded shantytowns around the capital city of Port-au-Prince have crumbled. Hospitals and other public facilities have collapsed.”

(Maybe it's because they're too busy calling conservatives terrorists.)
