And some people actually believe him . . .

Televangelist Pat Robertson says that God has told him who the next president of the United States is going to be . . . but he's not supposed to tell us.

He also says that God told him that the nation's downfall would be triggered by an economic collapse and that this would come about if Obama is elected to another term.

So, let's see if I have this straight: We will have economic collapse if Obama is re-elected. So people need to "pray overwhelmingly," presumably to keep Obama from winning. But Robertson already knows who will win. So what is the purpose of all this prayer, if it's already decided?

I don't get it. Why does anyone believe this man? What has he ever been right about?

Years ago, he said God was punishing Orlando with the forest fires that were headed straight for it. Why? Because the city had flown banners for Gay Day at Disneyland. But then the fires turned and went the other way and skipped Orlando. And later that same year, hurricanes hit Virginia Beach where Robertson's headquarters is located.

Has the IRS investigated him? He is demonstrably campaigning against Obama -- manipulating the emotions of ignorant and gullible people who believe his version of God, while raking in tax exempt money as a religion. That is illegal.
