Pat Robertson is claiming his prayers protected Virginia and sent Hurricane Florence southward.
Today on “The 700 Club,” televangelist Pat Robertson continued to credit his prayers with changing the path of Hurricane Florence away from his properties in Virginia and toward states farther south.
As we noted the other day, Robertson gathered with staff at his Christian Broadcasting Network earlier this week to establish a “shield of protection” over his properties and order Florence to turn back out to sea so as not to cause any damage to his CBN or Regent University facilities. The storm did not follow Robertson’s command, but the fact that its projected path shifted so that it was likely to make landfall somewhere in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia was nonetheless evidence to Robertson that God had answered his prayers.
No. It’s too ridiculous to even talk about.
What happened is this: Heikki Lunta, the Finnish snow god, answering my personal pleas, shoved the storm south to protect an endangered Michigan Tech grad — me. And if Pat Robertson doesn’t stop claiming the credit, ol’ Heikki is likely to visit a severe case of frostbite on that old fraud.
