"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."
Also:

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."
So either God lies to Roberson, God was wrong, or Robertson is a fake. In any of the cases, why the hell should we trust one word that comes out of this mans mouth?
Don't you mean a stunned prediction. |

Could be that he was already stoned, and heard the voice of God while getting a massage from Larry. |

God help us when faith silences reason. quote:
According to televangelist Pat Robertson, God told him that the United States will be victim to a massive terror attack in 2007. That comes on the heels of his 2006 prognostication in which God told him the United States would be hit by terrible storms and a possible tsunami. He claims that the spring storms in New England last year partially fulfilled his prediction.
But if God is talking to Robertson, why is the Almighty being so cagey? Why didn't God alert Robertson to the terror attacks that would occur on Sept. 11, 2001? Why all the vagueness about precisely what will happen and when?
The most sensible explanation, and the one most readers are probably thinking, is that Robertson is not actually conversing with God. Robertson is making this stuff up out of his own warped imagination and hedging his bets by being hazy on the details.
We think this because there is a healthy skepticism about televangelists who claim to be speaking for God.

Other than the constant, "If you're a smart person, you'll agree with me," that was a pretty good video.
Yes, I disagreed with the tone also. But it was still a good video. |
