Quote:Pat Robertson Tells Dover Residents They Rejected God
Quote:"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there."
This was on November 10, 2005, shortly after the school board was voted out by the residents.
This was quickly followed by:

Quote:The Mid-November 2005 outbreak was an unseasonably strong tornado outbreak on November 15, 2005 in the Midwestern United States. It occurred along a cold front separating warm, humid air from the southeast from cold Arctic air to the north and northwest. At least 50 confirmed tornadoes have been reported in the central United States in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee over that afternoon and evening.
What happened, Pat? Did your fucking god miss Pennsylvania?
Did Pat fuck up the criteria again ??
I recall the mere existence of a a paltry handful of righteous folk could have deterred God's mighty wrath from Sodom. The election results were not 100% to 0% and turnout was not 100% either. So Pat got it wrong, right ??
Also, anyone in Dover still sending their check to the 700 Club is an idiot. Pat has already declared it ain't doing any good.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
