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.

But I expect that person to respect me if I have faith and believe in Islam.”

Does that include allowing Americans living in Saudi Arabia imbibe vodka?

Does respecting your faith mean that the demands of your faith extend to me, a non-believer? That if your faith proscribes images of your prophet, does that mean that the WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO COMPLY?

That is not “respect,” that is COERCION.

Dear Reverend Pat,

We have finally seen the errors of our ways after 5,000 years.
Please send us 150,000 troo....er...missionaries soon as you can.
Make that a surge, say 180,000 reverends like you.

Gratefully Yours,
200 million Chinese
P.S. Give our best to the ruler of the universe, next time the two of you speak.

Looking at Mr. Robertson, I would predict that he will not be making New Years predictions for 2009. He probably will not see the end of this year as god will inflict sickness suffering and death as reward for his self righteous service. God damn Pat Robertson.

If God is going to give me china.......it better match my napkins!

Move to China and preach Pat.

Pat, Pat, Pat -

The chain smoking Chinese don't want Jebbus. They want US weapons technology, and GW is selling them the keys to the lab, so they'll finance his little oil grab war and torture entertainment follies in the ME.

Pat really meant to say:

"God talked to me, and he told me the Chinese are really sad they can't have a racket like my Jesus Juice bar, which is selling like fish heads at the market on Sunday's. I told God we'll work together on opening up that market in 08, you know, the old guy willing, hee hee."

"Praise the LORD!!"

What an idiot!
I guess God belongs to him!

The stupidity of this guy is a reflexion of the ignorance of millions of Americans that think of a god as a violent entity rather than an universal entity.

Simply pathetic!

Christianity has been reduced to a crass sales pitch.

Oh Pat....

I swear he says the craziest shit on practically a bimonthly basis. I was looking for his direct quote about Hugo Chavez, and I found this link.

Boy, I can see why Rudy sought this guy's endorsement! With Pat's direct line to the Almighty, no wonder Rudy's doing so well.

The old man is touched in the head.

Yet another republick party member who is not just a "Have" but "Have More" who i suppose just wants even more. A billion more customers is all China is to Pat the businessman; God, China, me and you - we just don't have anything to do with this greedy little bastard's plans.

jesus christ.

I would so much prefer that God give China Pat Robertson!

Or give Pat a permanent case of laryngitis.

[BUMbO]

I didn't know Robertson went into stand-up comedy...
