Pat Robertson's New Year's Forecast: "China Will Be The Largest Christian Nation On Earth"

As "700 Club" co-anchor Terry Meeuwsen explained on today's installment of the popular Christian show, "Each year, just before the first part of the year, Pat (Robertson) goes off alone with the Lord and then comes back to share with us what the Lord has shown him about the coming year." Pat then brings in every New Year by delivering the Lord's message to the staffs of Christian Broadcasting Network and Regent University. This year's meeting with God brought some interesting predictions, particularly concerning China and Christianity. According to Pat,

"What I'm praying about is China. I'm asking for 250 million in China. We haven't had that breakthrough yet but I think we're going to get it. God's going to give us China. And China will be the largest Christian nation on the face of the earth. They're going to come to Jesus."

Check out Pat's predictions for China in the video below.

Does anyone remember what this nut-case said God told him last year at this time....

From The Huffington Post 1/2/2007:

In what has become an annual tradition of prognostications, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would result in "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network. "The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Gee, you would think someone with a direct line to God would get it right 100% of the time.

Quite a prediction and he endorsed Guiliani too! WOW.

I remember - not that long ago-when this kind of fanaticism used to be called "religious cults". Did you read in Bill Maher's piece that in an AP poll 25% thought that Jesus would come back this year? 25%?!

Having faith is good- becoming completely divorced from reality- not so much.

Substitute the word 'God' with 'Universal Laws'and viola! you have a universal god that make sense. Universal Laws such as law of physics etc.. has no creator.
Example if you pray between now and tomorrow 10 thousand times to your god that you will not die if you jump down say from the top of Empire State Building there is a 110percent chance that he will not listen to you. Neither will gravity. Got it?
If you go against god's wishes (law of gravity) chances are you will suffer. Got it?
God is Omnipresent so is Universal Laws e.g. when matter in space spins and clumps together with a magnetic core gravity will be present. You should get this.
You can substitute law of gravity with another Universal Law.

What GOD do you believe in?

WHERE IS YOUR GOD?

-A god who walks this planet?
-A mountain god?
-A god who is the planet?
-A sky god?
-A sun god?
-A god that overreaches us and forms the shell within which contains the sky and the stars?
-A god that lives in space around our solar system?
-A god that exists within our universe and floats around in the massive empty spaces between the stars?
-A god that exists somewhere within the multidimensional possibilities of our universe?
-A god that overreaches our universe and forms the shell or fabric that comprises our universe?
-A god that existed before the Big Bang and who is expressed by the fabric and creation of the dreamworld we call the universe?
-A god that exists outside of and independent of our universe?

What GOD do you believe in?

And don't forget to mention that Sun Yung Moon is the messiah!
Pat Robertson actually gets better at exposing the stupidity of the religious fundamentalists the older and "wiser" he gets. Thanks for covering the old guy. While little more than a piece of animated beef jerkey he sure is amusing.

I'm always amazed at how many men (and women) claim to know the mind of God. And even more amazed at how many folks believe them. If you're a good singer it's a great way to make a very very comfortable living.

Hasn't he been saying for the past few years since Katrina that God told him that He was going to punish us with devastating hurricanes? Like that was a huge stretch to "predict" devastating hurricanes after Katrina. Too bad for PR we didn't get any devastating hurricanes in the South East since Katrina. You'd think that PR would get tired of being lied to all of the time!

PAT

YOU'VE GONE OFF YOUR MEDS AGAIN AND I'M PISSED. NOW GO STAND IN THE CORNER UNTIL YOU PROMISE TO TAKE YOUR MEDS OR I'LL HAVE TO HIT YOUR UNIVERSITY WITH A METEOR, HURRICANE OR RAMPANT HOMOSEXUALITY.

I thought someone shut that *ss hole up last year. Was it just a one year sentence?

[LorettaSingbiel]

So Robertson and Gouliani mutually agree that KILLING communism is no longer as imperative as KILLING Islamism?

Well, at least we don't have to fight any more "communists"!

Stay safe, healthy and happy,
Love, Loretta

[SILVANUS]

No...
God is most likely going to give the WORMS Pat Robertson.

And don't be shocked if the worms file a class action lawsuit.

If the Red Chinese Communists government of China can benefit it will accept xtian propaganda.
I doubt it though.
China's people are primarily followers of Confucius ,not Buddha.
Any time you buy something made in China you are helping and supporting the Tyrannical­,Anti-Free­dom Red Chinese Communist government.
The Chinese are taking over America by buying up our assets and manipulating our economy.
Thanks to Bill Clinton the most republican of Democrats for making this possible.
Kucinich or Edwards for President.

[ThisIsAllJustADream]

Yes, let's outsource Christianity, too!

[joja]

This will be our revenge on the Chinese for poisoning our food and our kids' toys!

[GawdFraud]

With the comedy writers on strike, we need good old Pat. He's also a good substitute for GWB.
They both make me LMFAO.
But I have to confess, I don't know what the fascination is with Robertson who is so obviously mentally unstable.
