He must have done something because God sent him a tragedy (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/02/plane.crash.ap/index.html). No, not to Robertson personally, but to some of the people in his organization. Surely God must be telling Pat to lay off trying to be God's press secretary. A Learjet registered to religious broadcaster Pat Robertson crashed in Long Island Sound while flying in heavy fog Friday, killing both pilots

It's people like Pet Robertson that make me wish God was real so He could smite them.

I saw a news headline for this; "Plane tied to Pat Robertson crashes" but when I clicked on the link the story became "Plane registered to Pat Robertson crashes". Man, was I disappointed.

It's just Dog's way of calling them home. Let us all rejoice!

It wouldn't have mattered if Pat had been on the plane. It would have been the sixteenth burning plane crash Pat walked away from unscathed.

Several of those crashes were caused by his leg-pressing weights.

Religious rationalizations:

1) God works in mysterous ways.
2) They are in a "better" place.
3) This is just another one of God's mysteries.
4) God sometimes needs to use tough love with his children.
5) Unlike God humans are, after all, imperfect.
6) The pilots did not have "the gift of faith" and therfore did not survive like the passengers.



Skeptical interpretation:

1) While flying in heavy fog the pilots of a Learjet 35 erred, undershot the ILS, and put the plane down short of the runway into Long Island Sound.

You forgot 1) God killed them because they were gay.

Pat Robertson angered God once but God was too afraid to show it.

Just as a curious side note, it seems quite unusual to me that the two pilots were killed yet the three passengers suffered only minor injuries.

I sure won't be surprised if 'ol Pat has some reassuring words about that.

Did God miss?

Obviously he didn't, because the prick is still alive.

Once again, this just proves that God has lousy aim.

Right now, God is saying

"missed by that much!"

Did God miss?

It's not so much missing as God trying to screw with Pat's head before he gets him. It's like a good horror movie or a not-hungry cat who just caught a mouse.

God's moved past the Old Testament slap down. He's all about the psychology of it now.

It's a miracle he wasn't on that plane! God must have been watching out for him!


.....or something.

Pat Robertson angered God once but God was too afraid to show it.

that sounds like those chuck norris links. here are some for starters:

1 Pat Robertson recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

2 Pat Robertson built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Pat met all three bullets with his prayers, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

3 To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Pat Robertson smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and aquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by praying for 30 minutes. Beat that, Lance Armstrong.

4 A man once asked Pat Robertson if his real name is "Patrick", a popular catholic name. Pat Robertson did not respond, he simply prayed at him until he exploded.

5 Pat Robertson once leg-pressed a one-ton weight (perhaps that's going too far now...)
