A few years ago, Rev. Pat Robertson stated very clearly that a catastrophe
would strike Jacksonville, FL in the (then) near future because city
fathers
supported a gay pride event.

Yes - and the first hurricane of the season took dead aim on Virginia Beach!
(Headquarters of the Rev. Mr. Robertson). Perhaps he mis-translated the
message.

Let's not bash sincere religious belief, of whatever stripe. Religion is
part of the human condition.
