Wow! This is my first response in one of these forums. I am astounded by the ignorance of many of the responders, which fits very well with both the Reverend and the Ambassador. Haiti unfortunately sits directly on a fault line where two tectonic plates meet; there are many other areas in the world where similar conditions exist, including of course California. As a Christian, I am embarrased and ashamed of the ignorant, self serving comments made by Pat Robertson, albeit there are historical backings to this story which are perpetuated by the Haitians themselves.
Did a writer actually say that the bible forbids slaves to rise up against their masters? What happened to common sense?
The Haitian Ambassador to the US is even less informed than Pat. The US bought the Louisiana Territory from Napolean in 1803, long after the Haitian revolt against the French. This guy has no clue about history, yet one writer praised his defense of Haiti. Ignorance should not be rewarded.
Study science, and you will discover that the earth is a relatively young, geologically active planet which will go through many convolutions in its evolutionary lifetime. Ideology and ignorance will come and go, but the earth will remain active and somewhat unpredictable.
Let's put our energy into helping the suffering people, and hopefully raising their level of education and standards in building. If there is an Anti-Nobel Prize, it should be shared between the Ambassador and the Evangelist.
