God: The Ultimate Flip-Flopper
[File this under funny if it weren't so damn scary]
There's this extraordinary story on CNN where the founder of the U.S. Christian Coalition Pat Robertson describes a conversation he had with George Bush prior to the start of the war in Iraq in which he delivers the following anecdote:
"You remember Mark Twain said, 'He looks like a contented Christian with four aces.' I mean he was just sitting there like, 'I'm on top of the world,' " Robertson said on the CNN show, "Paula Zahn Now.""And I warned him about this war. I had deep misgivings about this war, deep misgivings. And I was trying to say, 'Mr. President, you had better prepare the American people for casualties.' "
Robertson said the president then told him, "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties."
Then Robertson went on to say, "I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy. I warned him about casualties."
Now, who are we to believe here? Is "God" speaking to Robertson or Bush? Is he speaking to both but giving them opposite and contradictory information?
Based on this limited information it would appear that Robertson has the ear of "God" while Bush is still getting disinformation from the Almighty. What I want to know is has "God" told Robertson who is going to win Game 7 between the Yanks and the Sox?
