“God would’ve intervened” – Televangelist, Pat Robertson says tornado victims died because they didn’t pray enough

Pat Robertson is known for making statements that sometimes get him into trouble.  The televangelist’s most recent controversy involves remarks he made about the tornado victims in Oklahoma. According to Robertson, the victims died because they didn’t spend enough time praying.

He says that Jesus would have saved the people if they’d been praying instead of doing whatever they were doing at the time. Considering that they live in the Bible belt, we assume that they were doing quite a bit of praying every day.

“If enough people were praying [God] would’ve intervened, you could pray, Jesus stilled the storm, you can still storms,” Robertson said on the show.

“Why did you build houses where tornadoes were apt to happen?” he asked.

He was also the one who said Haitians were hit by the tornado because they made a deal with the devil.

“Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it,” he said. ”They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it’s a deal.”
