Pat Robertson: ‘I’m Not Sure Who or What to Blame Texas Flooding On’

[Texasgal]

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA — The Reverend Pat Robertson admits that these days he’s in a bit of a quandary. “The Good Lord has seen fit to put in my life a real and true moral dilemma,” the aging televangelist told reporters at a recent press conference outside the Virginia Beach, Virginia headquarters of the Christian Broadcasting Network. “That dilemma,” says Robertson, “is just who to blame all the flooding in Texas on.”

Robertson told the press that unlike the 1995 Northridge earthquake and Hurricane Bonnie that hit Florida in 1998 — both natural disasters that the elder evangelical blamed on the regions impacted having embraced homosexuality in some way — that he “can’t blame the Texas floods on the gays” since the Lone Star State is, according to Robertson, “the most stridently pro-Jesus and anti-gay state out there, by golly by gosh.” Despite his always knowing “just who to blame for all that ails the world,” Robertson says it could take him “a few days to figure out just how to pin the floods on the gays.”

Reporters asked Robertson if the floods could possibly be a sign from God warning Texans against being anti-LGBT so much that they forsake the most important lesson Jesus Christ taught — loving everyone. “The forces of Satan — you know, Democrats and the liberal mainstream media? Well, they’ll ask us ‘gotcha’ questions like this from time to time, and let me just put to rest all this ‘Jesus would have wanted you to love the gays’ crap right now,” Robertson shot back. “Jesus would not have been pro gay, despite what it might look like for a dude to travel around with 12 dudes who just wanted to ‘be close’ to him. And why, you might ask, would the one who brought us agape love be against love of any kind? Because the Bible is what we say it is, and it says what we say it says. It always has been that way, and it always will be that way,” the 85-year-old Robertson said.

1. Global climate change has increased the amount of moisture that air can hold

So when it rains, it pours (in some sense of the word).

Maybe if Pat would start reading science and put down the fairy tales he'd learn something.

And God saw the inequity and hate in the soul of the Texsits and sent a flood upon their land.
