These things are starting to hit with amazing regularity," Mr Robertson told CNN on Sunday, remarking on the coincidence of the devastating earthquake that killed tens of thousands in Pakistan and India at the weekend and the recent hurricanes that tore through the southern United States and Central America.
Funny... I suspect he wouldn't have though of this unless 1200 people had been killed in the good 'ol USA... 1200..... it really is nothing.
rwandan genocide = 800,000
Tsunami = 300,000
Iranian earthquake = 70,000
Children per day from starvation = ??,000 (and rising)
watched Fox news the other night and they had a guy on (forget the name) spouting similar things, "god is punishing us" etc.
he went very quiet when it was pointed out that the only surviving part of N'Orleans was the french qtr. the most 'sinful ' part of the city.
to be honest I was very shocked and dissappointed they gave this crank airtime. God!(who?) I miss the BBC!

How can they be active in vocally opposing Robertson, while at the same time they practice "Love thy neighbor as thyself"?
I'm I was acting like a complete dick I'd want my neighbour to tell me to stop.

Yeah. They have their own guy, who's even worse. Maybe you've heard of him? He's called "the Pope." And that guy, they actually did elect to represent their whole church.
Your common or garden catholic does not elect the pope. he is elected by the cardinals.

Re: Waaaaait a minute
You implied that "catholics" as a whole elect the pope. This is not true.
I'm not even sure that cardinals are 'elected' by the bishops, I believe existing cardinals do this. (Although I could be mistaken)
Of course priest, bishop, cardinal are all catholic and the cardinals do elect the pope. If that's what you meant, fair enough.
But your statement suggested that 'catholics' as a religious grouping elect the pope.
Not true.

Well, no, I didn't. I said that they elected the Pope. Naturally, I was referring to those who elect Popes, which are cardinals. Who are Catholic.
christ.. try not to lose any sleep over it. whatever.
naturally it's hard for me to see what you naturally meant, being that i only read what you type... naturally.

actually just to clarify this is what you said:
crashfrog writes:

"catholics...they have...they actually did elect him"
you need to be clearer when you type. I dont think anyone could be blamed for mis-reading your statement
