The Rev. Pat Robertson says God has told him that storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network has told viewers of "The 700 Club" that the revelations came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8.

He added specifics in Wednesday's show.

"There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest," he said.

The scary thing is that he is bound to get it right one day out of pure dumb luck. When this happens, all of the idiots in America will think he is a phrophet. I can see the headlines now: "IS PAT GOD?"

Undoubtedly, he will blame us for its cause since we're the scapegoat for virtually everything that is wrong with this society. Believer it or not, these lunatics are on the decline hard as it may seem. In the absence of their bigoted religious belief system, I wonder if they would be so obsessed with us? Money was always considered the root of all evil, but I honestly believe that religion is the real culprit.

I guess what gets my goat is there are people who actually waste their time watching this guy on t.v.

Robert, money is not the root of all evil: the LOVE of money is; and nobody loves it more than a televangelist!

Well, if you believe the theory about earthquakes - that they follow paths - then yeah, he might be right. There have been several earthquakes along the "ring of fire" and that could very well be setting off the earthquke that sets off a tsunami. Is this a revelation from God??? - NO.

I can't wait for a tsunami to hit Virginia Beach so that Pat Robertson would eat his own words.

"Money was always considered the root of all evil, but I honestly believe that religion is the real culprit."

Actually it's the love of money that's the root of all evil, not money itself.

Sometimes its seems that some religions are based on the love of money.

YOU DIDN'T POST MY FULL QUOTE. WHAT I SAID WAS:

"If I heard God right about 2006... and maybe I didn't... cause He was getting pretty bad reception on his phone... and I was driving through a tunnel at the time... my music was a little too loud... and the Dude doesn't enunciate very clearly... anyway I think there will be a tsunami... either that or a salami... man, I could use a submarine sandwich"
