Well, folks. Get out your hip-waders! The Lord is angry!

"Robertson: God Says Tsunami Possible For U.S.

POSTED: 9:19 pm EDT May 17, 2006 by the Associated Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- The Rev. Pat Robertson says God has told him that storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network has told viewers of "The 700 Club" that the revelations came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8.

He added specifics in Wednesday's show.

"There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest," he said.

Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for suggesting that U.S. agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip."

He is funny. He may as well predict that floods will happen and fires as well. Predicting events that happen every year is silly. What would be a real impressive prediction is if claimed that there will be no hurricanes or wild fires or floods and it came true.
 
He's such a maroon

Letsee, here's a report from PBS from back in January 2005 describing northwest tsunami's every 300 years or so, and the last one was in 1700.
January 2, 2005 · NPR's John Nielsen reports on how the work of Brian Atwater, a tsunami expert with the U.S. Geological Survey, helped to uncover the origins of a massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated much of the U.S. Pacific Northwest in the early 1700s.

-yawn-

And to deal with the holy hurricane prediction. The scientists seem to have beat him to the punch:
EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY AND U.S. LANDFALL STRIKE PROBABILITY FOR 2006

We continue to foresee another very active Atlantic basin tropical cyclone season in 2006. Landfall probabilities for the 2006 hurricane season are well above their long-period averages.
(as of 4 April 2006)

He was very amusing some years back at the end of the 90s. Due to "rampant homosexuality" he decreed God would punish the US with terrible hurricanes. Tropical Storm Bonnie, Hurricane Dennis and Hurricane Floyd all visited VA Beach after his pronouncement, causing major damage.
 
If three hurricanes hitting Florida can't get a message through...

If there is a tsunami, I would be more impressed with his divine channeling if he surfed the wave into Pennsylvania. Surely God is on his side.
 
They drool in anticipation of destruction and pain. Here's a good one:

GIANT WAVE COULD THREATEN US

The wave would sweep up to 20 km inland. A collapsing volcano in the Atlantic could unleash a giant wave of water that would swamp the Caribbean and much of the eastern seaboard of the United States, a scientist has claimed.

Dr Simon Day, of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College London, UK, believes one flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, in the Canaries archipelago, is unstable and could plunge into the ocean.

Just about anybody can make a prediction of naturally occurring, and frequent events, but not everybody gives credit to a god for it (what century was this again?).

In his case, he probably regularly reads the weather reports, and figures out which storm events he’ll claim are the wrath of God. Always a good hobby for staying in the news.


He needs to up the entertainment factor by making really fun predictions of a more Biblical nature, such as boils, hail mixed with fire, and the Ohio River turning to blood?
 
I predict that there will be tornadoes in the midwest, one of the most religious sections of the United States. I also predict that "God" will look more favorably upon those with storm shelters, and punish the poor in trailers.

Well, I've always heard that Jesus loves the rich.
 
While I'm tempted to write Robertson off as a complete clown, the survey on MSNBC currently has "YES - God spoke to him" being 11% and "NOT SURE if God spoke to him" being 12%. Sheesh.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12851397/

His story today is that the so called revelation came during some prayer meetings in January. Nothing like predating your prediction to come before several other published predictions on the subjects. So when do the 23% Christians call him a liar? Never?

This is a serious matter. When is anyone in the Christian community going to speak up and call him a liar and a cheat? Someone who pastures himself on the sheep.

Cowards.

Of course he does. It's a sign of your devotion. Only bad Christians are poor. Good Christians are blessed, and how better to bless someone than with money?

So, see, even though it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven, God rewards his faithful with money. God makes his true followers rich so that when they die, they can't enter....hey.....

Actually, Pat did not hear God right. That's forgiveable, as God was eating peanut butter crackers when they spoke. Jesus tells me that what his dad actuall meant was "The goats of America will be ravished by Mormons". Unfortunately, Jesus had no further details, but I do hope there will be video.

Yep. I also predict that fires will ravage the Western U.S. during the summer. That strife will continue in the Middle East. And snow will blanket portions of the Northern US during the winter.

Who knew being a prophet was so easy?

The poll numbers early this morning were for about 9000, they are currently for slightly over 64,000 and the percentages have not changed.

The diodes ache along my left side...
