It hasn’t even been 24 hours and already Pat Robertson is beating his little, “look at God showing his wrath” drum. He reminds me of a line from the movie “Oh, God!” In it, God, speaking about a Robertson-like pastor says, (and I paraphrase): “He says he speaks my words, but if you ask me, he ran out of my words a long time ago.”
This is a disgrace, to say the least. I invite Mr. Robertson to go to Haiti, serve the people there, get to know them. Perhaps he would learn a Biblical value called compassion.
That "pact" with the Devil is not factual at all, and while it is true that tribal witchcraft is widespread, it's certainly not a reason for "God's wrath" upon people who are generations removed from the time of French colonialism. Which brings up another good point, the reason Jamaica is better off than Haiti is not because of some "pact" but because Jamaica was a former British colony, and Brit colonies have historically always done better than French counterparts after they gain Independence.
The church I go to wrote a good blog on this too: http://www.flatironschurch.com/blog/?p=286
