Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.
Robertson has made the predictions at least four times in the past two weeks on his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded. Robertson said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.
"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8. Wednesday, he added, "there well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest."
Robertson has come under intense criticism in recent months for comments suggesting that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution for Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip.

What do you guys think about this? God sure does seem to talk a lot to Pat. Sounds like a generic prediction too -- like saying, "God told me it would be hot in Texas this year. We may even have a drought." In general, I think it makes him look more like a psychic than anything else (And a pretty bad one at that. I would like to see a chart of all the things he was told by God and see how many of them have come true -- work on that for me in your spare time Robert). And, I think things like this tarnish an already tarnishing image we as Christians have in the secular world.

You blogged it before I could :)
I had the same thought - a chart with his predictions. Maybe I will work on that after my final.
