Dear Mr. Robertson,
Will you please sit down and shut your flapping mouth? Your ridiculous accusations that the people of Haiti are being punished because of a "deal made with the devil" several centuries ago is even more outrageous than your similar accusations made against the victims of Katrina, 9/11, and other recent disasters. At least in those cases, you were claiming that the victims were being punished because of something *they* had done. They at least had a certain cause-and-effect linkage, even if it is a completely ludicrous one. Now you're claiming that the Haitians are being punished because of something someone did *centuries* ago? No one who was involved in your alleged "deal with the devil" could *possibly* still be alive today. Doesn't your own Bible have something in there about the sons not being punished for the sins of the father?
By your so-called "logic," one of your "flock" who receives something they perceive as a blessing from God might not be getting it because they are a good and Godly person, but because one of their ancestors was. So... the Godly person was denied those blessings, but it's okay because someone else got them. Doesn't sound quite so righteous from that side, does it?
The worst part of your diatribe isn't even the hatred, bigotry, and ignorance that it proclaims (and thereby also paints other Americans and other Christians in the same light). No, the *worst* part is that you have now undoubtedly persuaded some people that they should NOT try to help out. Never mind that we're talking about fellow human beings in need -- you have proclaimed their suffering as Right and Just, and therefore they are not *deserving* of aid.
The lack of those extra dollars undoubtedly means that someone's suffering has been increased, extended, or both... or possibly even that extra lives have been lost that might have been saved.
Sir, for every one of those lives that have been negatively impacted because of your *insane* hate-filled diatribe, I hope that every iota of their extra pain and suffering gets returned to you in full, and that you are fully aware of what it is and why you're receiving it.
No love,
Me
