Comments on: Judgment, Fate, or Providence in Haiti? http://www.whitehorseinn.org/archives/333.html White Horse Inn Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:14:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1.2 hourly 1 By: Christina http://www.whitehorseinn.org/archives/333/cpage/1.html#comment-634 Christina Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:56:19 +0000 http://www.whitehorseinn.org/archives/333.html#comment-634 Friend, you have misrepresented what Mr. Robertson actually said. In a spirit of mutual accountability, I would challenge that you have accused him of the very thing you did...judging without consulting a/the primary source. It is critical that we do not allow secular media sources to become our "special revelation." Many of you may be aware that shortly after this earthquake Pat Robertson reported that he knew the reason behind this earthquake: the people of Haiti made a pact with the devil to overthrow the French, and this earthquake is God punishing and bringing upon his judgment upon those people.

I think that none of us should ask "Why Haiti?" but rather "Why not me too?" as none of us are truly deserving of any of the good that happens in life. Jesus says it very well in Luke 13...

That's in a country that has a 96% "Christian" population (Roman Catholic 80%, Protestant 16%).

"I am truly puzzled where this 'pact with the devil' was recorded and where those treaty documents are!" Look up Bois Caïman and Dutty Boukman. There was a well known Vodou ceremony that lead to the revolution. This, and the modern day Vodou practices, is what Robertson was referring to. Many people in Haiti continue to practice Vodou today despite their largely "Christian" population. See my comments on the “Pat Robertson Speaks” page for where I am coming from.

My question to you is this, "Where was God when Jesus hung on the cross half naked and suffering the torment of all of the sins of humankind?"
