31. Important Clarification To Earlier Remark
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.03.07)
By no means should anyone understand that I implied that Mr. Robertson should be punished for his false prophecy. This is a matter between G-d and him.
32. Robert$on the Profit
Snurri Carlsson   (01.03.07)
God had previously told Robertson that donations to the 700 Club would be down 18% in 2007, which prompted him to make the terror attack prediction.
33. Pat Robertson
Roy DuBois ,   Nashua, NH   (01.03.07)
Why does God only speak to Pat Robertson? And when he does, why does a God of mercy actually allow such horrible acts? And if heaven is so great and wonderful, why aren't more Christians blowing thier brains out in a mad rush to get out of the way me meet their God in heaven?
34. Pat Robertson
Incredulous ,   Mission Viejo, CA   (01.03.07)
Anyone who takes Pat Robertson seriously should seek immediate Psychiatric help.
35. Marion Robertson is a delusional televangelist.
Andre ,   US   (01.03.07)
If Marion would just read the book that he worships and believes, he would see that he is just one of the many false prophet mentioned in it.
36. Pat Robertson
Daniel ,   Raleigh, USA   (01.03.07)
Pat Robertson is a complete fraud who has been working with the Republicans for years to help establish the 'Religious Right'. He's no more than an eccentric politician, just like Bush. People don't understand that 'terrorist attacks' give the Bush administration money and power to start fallacious wars and persecute other religions and kill innocent people overseas. If something so terrible as this happens, believe me that no terrorist group would have had the techinical ability to pull it off without our government seeing it materialize from lightyears away! If it does happen, believe me that there will certain, elite, American families that will be in no way affected, except positively financially, and I am sure the Robertsons will be one of them.
37. ROBERTSON ONLY PARTIALLY CORRECT: PIZZA BEFORE BED?
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee WI   (01.03.07)
Comment below this quote from your story: "I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006. Even though the US was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction. Just as the word "G_d" has something missing and is only partially correct, so Robertson's alleged prophecies have things missing and are only partially correct. ADVICE TO ROBERTSON: stop eating pizza before going to bed, and you won't have such nightmares.
38. Pat Robertson
Brod ,   USA   (01.03.07)
It is time for Pat Robertson to shut his mouth.
39. Dear Pat, you are nuts
Sarah ,   Philadelphia, USA   (01.03.07)
These are not predictions for our furture! This is absurd and anyone who listens to this man's dillusions are too. Let's look at the facts here, anyone can 'predict' that someone in the united states will die around septemeber, gee, thanks pat, could you be more vague? Ugh. You would think if G-d was speaking to you, it would be more clear! It frightens me to think that there are people out there that follow men like Pat.
40. Pat needs to ask better questions
Dave ,   Louisburg,NC USA   (01.03.07)
With such a good relationship with God, maybe Pat should ask where Osama is
41. "...senctence with God told me is crazy"
Student ,   Denver, USA   (01.03.07)
I find it grievous that few people understand or have yet to experience what it is to have a personal relationship with the Lord God Almighty, through the Salvation Christ Jesus afforded us. God has always communicated with man, his creation. He speaks to us in many wonderful ways, his Word, the bible and to our hearts, which is the spirit of man, but seldom if ever to your carnality /flesh. He can also send a person to you with a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom. The difference is, a word of knowledge is past and present and a word of wisdom is present and future, but God does speak to us. The question is…are YOU listening?
42. God does indeed speak to his beloved creation!

43. I never told to this guy such a thing, he need professional
GOD ,   VA USA   (01.03.07)
Help. who even publish his idea need the same. He doesn't know who i am and what i am about. Ask him who is GOD? and you will figure that Mr. Pat is seriousely sick.
44. How can such people still...
Ari ,   Jerusalem   (01.03.07)
live among us when it is the year 2007? It feels like the 16th century!
45. tele-evangelists
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.03.07)
in general, all these tele-prophets would be a whole lot more credible if they didn't accept donations "to that toll-free number at the bottom of the screen". pat robertson would be a discredited and forgotten sideshow in american politics if he didn't put on this annual media circus. "any publicity is good publicity..."
46. Retarded Psycho
MK ,   USA   (01.03.07)
It's about time Robert$on gets admitted to a mental hospital.

Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (01.03.07)
Please do not insult the mentally disabled. They are a kinder, gentler bunch than Robertson -- I never heard any of them stirring up hatred
48. Did people hear about Prophets???
Nannette ,   London, UK   (01.03.07)
Many prophets have foretold disaster exactly the same as Pat Robertson. Prepare for the worst and hope it doesn't happen. If it does, you'll be ready.
49. what happened to the tsunami
dic ,   usa   (01.03.07)
pat robertson 'prophesized' that will happened on the west coast of the US? what is he trying to prove? there are plenty of people like that in the bible. they want to look holy. is pat robertson replacing jesus christ sitting at the right of god? another scare tactic to wage war on another nation?
50. #22
Debra ,   Florida   (01.03.07)
Pat Robertson is not prophecying. But, if you knew anything about the Bible you would know that. He is a biblical scholar. There are a lot of them out there. But, it takes listening to them. He is merely pointing out things in the Bible that God said would happen. There is a sequence and many signs of things to come. If you do not want to know what they are, that is too bad. All the prophecies that are true were already told. They will all happen just like God says they will. And about Israel, God says those who Bless Israel, I will Bless. Those who curse Israel, I will curse. Israel is the apple of God's eye. That is why his son is a Jewish Rabbi. But, those who follow him are Christians. Pat Robertson is a Christian. And a very learned one at that. He has studied God's word for decades. The people who mock should pick up the Bible and read for themselves.

pat robertson will replace morphious.
52. to debra #50
mike ,   usa   (01.03.07)
there are also arrogant self righteous people in the bible. what about; the pharisees, experts in the law & hypocrites. they have missed the 'good news' about compassion, mercy & justice love of god. the pharisees are 'confident of their self'righteouseness' that they look down on people. they even give people snake when they ask for fish, a stone for a bread so they can look good for jesus, they are show offs. WHAT THE PASTORS & TELEEVANGELIST DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS CHRIST REBUKING THE PHARISEES, EXPERTS IN THE LAW & HYPOCRITES BEC IT IS THEM THAT THE BIBLE IS TALKING ABOUT. ARROGANT, SELF RIGHTEOUS, LOVERS OF MONEY & WITCH HUNTERS FOR SIN. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WATCH THE MOVIE THE 'MAJESTIC' jim carrey when he spoke against the House of Un Americans Committe. if jesus christ died for our sins then why are they always 'looking for something to accuse you.' PAT ROBERTSON IS ONE PHARISEE, EXPERT IN THE LAW (VERSE) & HYPOCRITE. if I am judging him why is it biblical & the response of pharisees is it is an 'insult' to them! THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL ARROGANCE!!!!
53. Pat is an apostle of the Antichrist
UncleGeorge ,   Bellingham, Wa.   (01.03.07)
This poor sap doesn't realize what he's doing. Neither do his (voting) followers. Robertson, and people like him, are the very best evidence that mankind is truly "just down from the trees". Faithfully, UncleG.

free speech or not, p.r. is just a hair away from yelling,"fire"in the crowded theatre.pretty unpleasant carrying on!

michael ,   hamilton,bermuda   (01.03.07)
pat r's assertions are loosely modelled on the biblical prophesies.but a man of God he seems NOT to be.The way he mentioned nukes and then blithely states that God didn't mention them stinks of intentional manipulation through fear.Crazy like a fox.
56. Pat Robertson
Peter Maggio ,   Philadelphia, Pa.   (01.03.07)
If God tells him, why does he only "(I) have a relatively good track record" ? Shouldn't he be batting 1,000 ?
57. Using religion to scare the world....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (01.03.07)
is the oldest trick in the book ( no pun intended). It's hard to believe that people are still so ignorant and small minded as to think that GOD is actually watching us from above. If GOD did exist, what makes anyone think that he would care about us puny, little, selfish creatures??? I am not scared of GOD, I am scared of nukes in Iran, of suicide bombers and of terrorists using planes as missiles. GOD will not stop them, the Marines and IDF will. Have some faith in humanity for once.
58. to #50-be careful who you are following!
jim koresh ,   waco jonestown   (01.03.07)
Remember what happened to JIM JONES, DAVID KORESH & jim baker. people followed them & they were the ones who lost in the end. FOLLOWING A 'RELIGIOUS LEADER' DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN! the bible also said 'DO NOT BE DECEIVE or YOU MIGHT END UP IN A BODY BAG OR LOSE YOUR HARD EARNED RETIREMENT!
59. pat robertson may god bless you.
avraham ,   jerusalem   (01.03.07)

Yossi   (01.03.07)
So, according to you, there is no justification to lay any claims on the Holy Land by virtue of its grant by G-d to the Jewish people. No wonder you live in Florida, but claim to be an Israeli. Please stay there.
