Haiti Devil Pact Update! WorldNetDaily and Evangelical Christians Slam Robertson

We’ve done some more digging, and added more historical facts to our article on Pat Robertson and the Haitian Pact with Santa . . . er, Satan. In our research, we found that leading Religious Right Wingnut publication WorldNetDaily has made an unexpected move, leading us to question the sincerity of their insanity . . . and found an equally shocking revelation via the Christian Post.

Heinl & Heinl's Haitian History

Yes, WingNutDaily. AGAINST Pat Robertson. Really.

Also, the Christian Post reports that two prominent Southern Baptist leaders have harshly condemned Robertson’s remarks.

Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas called Robertson arrogant during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday.

“It is absolute arrogance to try to interpret any of God’s actions as a judgment against this person or that person,” the Southern Baptist minister said. “ Our duty as Christians is to try to help these people pray for these people and to help them.”

Some more meaty comments came from Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Mohler points out that Haiti does have an extensive history with voodoo, and that we know God will judge sinners. However,

. . . we have no right to claim that we know why a disaster like the earthquake in Haiti happened at just that place and at just that moment.

We can trace the effects of a drunk driver to a car accident, but we cannot trace the effects of voodoo to an earthquake – at least not so directly.

Why did no earthquake shake Nazi Germany? Why did no tsunami swallow up the killing fields of Cambodia? Why did Hurricane Katrina destroy far more evangelical churches than casinos? Why do so many murderous dictators live to old age while many missionaries die young?

I was wondering those very things myself.
