Pat Robertson: Tornadoes could have been stopped by prayer
Pat Robertson, who earlier called tornadoes a sign of the End Times, was asked today on the 700 Club about the tornadoes that have ravaged parts the country and killed at least twelve people. He said that the storms weren’t a malicious act of God and instead turned it around on the victims, asking, ‘why did you build houses where tornadoes were apt to happen?’
However, Robertson in 2010 did believe that God used natural disasters to hurt people, saying that Haiti’s earthquake was a result of the Haitian people’s alleged ‘pact to the Devil.’
Robertson continued that the tornadoes may not have happened if people had prayed for divine intervention, ‘If enough people were praying He would’ve intervened, you could pray, Jesus stilled the storm, you can still storms.’ He also told people who live in areas prone to natural disasters that it’s ‘their fault, not God’s.’
Getting hit by a tornado = your fault.
Getting raped = God’s will.
