Haiti and their Pact with the Debbil

Pat Robertson has said the Haitian quake was the result of a three hundred year old pack with the Devil that the Haitians made to kick the French off the island.


good ol' Pat Robertson. He can see the debbil where others see a human need.


what a maroon.

NEW YORK (CBS) Pat Robertson, the American Christian televangelist and host of "The 700 Club," said that Haitians need to have a "great turning to god" while he was reporting on the devastating 7.0 earthquake that shook the island nation — the most powerful to hit the country in a century.



As Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said "well over" 100,000 people may have died in the national disaster, Robertson took to the airwaves Wednesday on his show and said that the country has been "cursed by one thing after another" since they "swore a pact to the devil."

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about," Robertson said Tuesday.

Yes, those damn blacks and their vodou...

I almost puked and laughed my ass off at the same time when I heard this report today.

Here is the video of this man actually spewing his shit. Some people actually record him spewing his shit and air it on TV all the time. Sick.

He should know, he is the Devil.

"true story" :eek:

I guess as the Devil he was there so we can get the story. It would have been an interesting scene. The Devil and his lawyers, Toussaint Louverture and his, signing the documents to remove the French... much easier than fighting a revolution. The French must have signed a deal with the Devil to have the misfortune of losing Haiti... after those Arawaks signed theirs and Chris Columbus signed his. Where do we sign to get rid of Pat, blessing in disguise, Robertson?

Seems like there is a pretty explosive religion thread in this.

He's crazy.

You think you've heard it all then more appalling craziness.wwjd dude

I certainly don't consider him to be a Christian. He's a bigoted fear-monger who doesn't have a compassionate bone in his body. If ever someone was working for the devil, its him. I want to say a lot of un-Christian things about this man, but I'll try to refrain. My church is having a fund drive to help the people of Haiti, and I'll be donating what I can when I get my next check. :mad:

I'm agnostic (meaning I'm a religion fence-sitter, I guess) but I hope there is some kind of afterlife, and I hope that freaks who say and do horrible things in the name of religion (that they hide behind like the spineless pieces of shit they are) get to find out how really horribly evil they were. I also hope I get to kick them in the balls/cunt a couple times.

Has there ever been a movement/organization/group, that hasn't attracted some evil, self aggrandizing, power hungry, greedy, assholes? Religion and government are prime examples, but anything that provides a platform is irresistible to those people.

Here's an actual Christian response:

That what irks me. What if Pat Robertson actually believes that he doing "work" in God's name and not just consciously manipulating people.

Also, 95% of Haitians label themselves as Christians...

Exactly. I figure if he really believes in his crap, I want to know at some point he'll have to say "Holy SHIT I was a crazy shitbag." If he's, as I suspect, just an asshole money-grubber who knows exactly what he's doing, I want to know at some point he'll say "Holy SHIT, you guys knew all along I was an evil shitbag...I thought most of you fell for my crap?"

Then come the ball-kicking ceremonies.

I tend to believe that he does believe it.

It may be a blessing in disguise, but that's a pretty optimistic attitude.

Something happened a long time ago.
The Americans were under the heel of the English.
And they got together and swore a pact with the devil and they kicked the English out, but ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other.

On one side of the line there is Canada and the other side is America. They are cut down the middle. One side is prosperous, healthy and full of resources. The other side is in desperate poverty. Same continent. They need to pray for a great turning to God..

Stitched together from real quotes, but countries changed.
For once, I hope God exists. Because the God of the testaments I grew up with would send this puffed up toad straight into the fire.

I can't even wish my atheistic views on him, because it takes no self-control to spew hatred, so I figure he's loving the power in the one life I think he's given.

I often wonder why people always find a way to say the most stupid thing they can think of, as a reaction to natural disasters. This reminds me of Hurricane Katrina and all the ridiculous reactions that came from it. You know they deserved it too for being godless heathens.:headshake

I bet he and Rushballs are friends.

They deserve each other

I read the story behind that a long time ago. Can't be sure of the validity, but, for Haiti... wouldn't put it past them. Crazy freaking country. Witch doctors, dancing around campfires holding dead chickens conjouring whatever they conjour.

Anybody here vote for Pat Robertson when he ran for President about a decade ago? Anybody going to admit it if they did?

You wouldn't put it past the country of Haiti for making a pact with the devil to get rid of the French because of some religious rituals? Are you serious? I personally know people, born and raised in the USA, that were considered possessed by the devil because they couldn't speak in tongue! Tongue!

Don't have to send any money collected to help if they are heathens.

Pat Robertson probably has some sort of narcissistic personality disorder or else he's a functional socialpath. I don't see how else he can be so inhumane. That and greed. He couldn't possibly ask his viewers to send money to anyone but him. And (God forbid) if he went down there to help, he might brush against a black person and get the curse. :eyebrow:

Oh, and this just in:

Brit Hume Causes Controversy with Suggestion that Pat Robertson Convert to Christianity

For those of you who may not have caught it, this following bit of faux news may be of interest. Please note that, while wholly fabricated by a blogger who will remain unnamed, this news item is, nevertheless, deeply true.

This morning on Fox News, commentator Brit Hume sparked something of a firestorm by suggesting on the air that televangelist Pat Robertson convert to Christianity. “From what I understand, in terms of religious beliefs, Robertson ascribes to Stupid-A** Fundamentalism,” Hume remarked. “But I don’t think Stupid A** Fundamentalism offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith.”

http://thepietythatliesbetween.blogspot.com/2010/01/brit-hume-causes-controversy-with.html

I think the Haitians got a bad deal. I mean, they were fighting The French. Why make a pact with the devil for that? Surely a half-promise to a minor demon could have taken care of it. Fools.

You're back!

I would sign a pact with the devil to rid us of Pat Robertson. :eyebrow:

I will just need you to sign a couple forms. Goddammit, where's my pen?

(Throws a hundred pens at Satan) HERE YOU GO!

*flexes fingers to sign forms* :D

hmmm...

I'll sign. I don't have a soul.

A Qualified Defense of Pat Robertson, by Robert Taber, a doctoral candidate in Carribbean History at the University of Florida.

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/01/qualified-defense-of-pat-robertson.html

In essence, he states that Pat Robertson didn't just concoct the 'pact with the devil' statement from whole cloth: that it was a reference to Haiti's formative and entrenched relationship with Voudou, a defining moment of which was the ceremony through which the slave revolt was organized.

He's still a jerkoff. :eyebrow:

The best comment posted to that article:

Jon said...
I think people understood that Robertson wasn't *making up* a story about a pact with the devil; rather, he was perpetuating a centuries-old libel against the Haitian people and the religion many of them subscribe to, a libel boosted by the belief that of course black Haitians could not have defeated the white French without Satanic help. Mr. Taber's pointing out that there are conservative Christians *other* than Robertson -- even some in Haiti! -- who believe that Haitian religion is devil-worship hardly provides a "defense," qualified or otherwise, of that characterization. Nor does it explain Robertson's apparent position that his all-benevolent God is prone to indiscriminate, centuries-long, mass murder of people in countries where too many people worship the wrong gods.

Like duh, yeah. We're not stupid, we KNOW he didn't pull the comment out of mid-air. It's still the stupidest thing anyone on earth has said lately, Rush notwithstanding. :eyebrow:

(oh i hope there's a hell oh i hope there's a hell oh i hope there's a hell)

The history of Haiti is one of remarkable courage in the face of daunting odds. Fears of spreading slave revolt led the global community to isolate newly independent Haiti. In exchange for recognition of its hard-fought independence, France demanded a war-damage payment of 150 million francs—estimated at $21 billion in 2004 US dollars—that Haiti spent eighty years paying. Post-Castro worries about communism spreading in the Caribbean meant that the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations looked the other way as Jean-Claude Duvalier solidified his iron grip. In 1983, The US Department of Agriculture’s concerns about African swine fever led to the indiscriminate slaughter of the pigs that formed the backbone of Haiti’s rural economy. One need not look to supernatural realms to find the devils plaguing Haiti.

Hopefully, somehow this will be another chapter that describes their courage.

Unfathomable death and destruction. I cannot even watch it on tv anymore.

That is a bullshit justification. First, the entire notion of Haiti needing to make a pact with the devil is entrenched with racism and religious elitism. Haiti was the only successful slave revolution. And, since Roman Catholicism was brutally forced on the slaves, it is only natural that they would throw that aside and integrate their ancestor's belief's with it, creating Voudou.

But of course, the devil must have been involved to allow a bunch of blacks overthrow their brutal white masters.... :rolleyes:

I mean....its okay if I say that blacks are an inferior race to whites because it was a popular belief 100 years ago....

Hey... yeah, that's exactly what the comment (following the article) I quoted said!

You posted while I was typing my reply.

But today, Haiti still has more Catholics than VouDudes.

Many practice the two side by side. I think numbers are unknown though.

If you pray to god to be freed from slavery, and you don't get freed from slavery, you're bound to turn to an alternative.

And why does everyone seem to accept, without questioning that voodou is evil?

Because it's not Christianity.

Pay attention!

Because, unlike Pat Robertson, voodou doesn't have an agent and publicist.
