Robertson, on the other hand, said the Haitian earthquake was divine retribution incurred by Haitians who signed a pact with Satan. You know, Beelzebub? That’s another level of crazy entirely.

The leaders of the Haitian uprising worshipped their ancestral African deities. This is pantheism, or “idolatry” to a Christian, but obviously not a “pact with Satan” since the voodoo spirits do not include Old Scratch.
