Pat Robertson Knows Who Will Be President

God told him, but he's not allowed to say. Isn't that conveeEEEeeenient.
I say he's a lying sack of shit and a brilliant huckster. I hope he robs his congregation blind and buys a big house, a boat, and a private jet. Oh wait, he already has those. 
We're so doomed.

Christian conservative leader Pat Robertson says he has a secret straight from God: He knows who the next president of the United States will be.
"I think He showed me about the next president, but I'm not supposed to talk about that so I'll leave you in the dark -- probably just as well -- but I think I know who it's gonna be," Robertson said Tuesday on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."
Robertson then went on to recite the message he claimed to have been told by God. According to Robertson, God doesn't support President Barack Obama's agenda and says that only "overwhelming prayer" can bring a new leader who will stop the country from "disintegrating":
Your country will be torn apart by internal stress. A house divided cannot stand. Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority. Expect chaos and paralysis. Your president holds a view which is at the odds with the majority -- it's a radical view of the future of this country, and so that's why we're having this division. This is a spiritual battle which can only be won by overwhelming prayer. The future of the world is at stake because if America falls, there's no longer a strong champion of freedom and a champion of the oppressed of the world. There must be an urgent call to prayer.
Robertson frequently delves into the political realm with his evangelism.
He earlier counseled the GOP presidential candidates to avoid stepping into radical territory with their campaigns.
"Those people in the Republican primary have got to lay off of this stuff," he exclaimed in October. "If they want to lose, this is the game for losers."
Despite this warning, he's been especially vocal on social issues such as gay rights, which have proven to be quite visible in Iowa. The entire GOP field opposes gay marriage rights, drawing a number of public protests along the campaign trail in Iowa, a state where such unions have been legalized.
Robertson has been more controversial with his comments, recently saying that gays can "un-acquire" their sexuality. It's just the latest in a string of comments that the gay community has found offensive.
On Tuesday, however, Robertson said that God told him the nation's downfall would be triggered by an economic collapse. He suggested that God told him this would come about if Obama was elected to another term.
"And God said, this is not my judgment, they are bringing it upon themselves," Robertson explained.

Why is he saying that he "thinks" he was shown, "thinks" he knows.. does he not have faith in what he was been told, or did God mumble when he spoke?

God also 'told' PR to run for president years ago. Guess God was trying to teach him humility or something...

Actually his house isn't as big as you might think.

It's the attached stables that are mind boggling.

As if it wasn't hard enough to be a Christian already..... please Pat tell us again why Hati got hit with the big storm....thats right, because they made a "pact with the devil"

I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

So will Pat provide some verifiability by publically disclosing a cryptographic hash of the candidate's name followed by a random number?
In this way he would not disclose who the President is, yet would provide some falsifiable evidence for god and his special knowledge.
The religious lunatics seem to avoid falsifiable predictions like the plague, probably because they know themselves that there's no evidence for the bullshit they peddle to the children and sickly.

You joke but something like that, if correct, would go a long way toward making me a believer, which is one of his stated goals (changing people's mind into believing) of his ministry yet he would never do anything like that. Better to guilt and scare people into believing.
