Pat Robertson Casts ‘Shield Of Protection' Ahead Of Hurricane Florence
Ohfergawdsake.
In a clip posted online by Right Wing Watch, he asked followers to “put a hand out toward the Atlantic” and repeat an incantation.

“In the name of Jesus, you Hurricane Florence, we speak to you in the name of Jesus, and we command the storm to cease its forward motion and go harmlessly into the Atlantic. Go up north away from land and veer off in the name of Jesus. We declare in the name of the lord that you shall go no farther, you shall do no damage in this area.”

He also declared a “shield of protection” over the Virginia area in which he was speaking and around “innocent people” in the storm’s path.
The old charlatan never hesitates to make himself look foolish. The shade of Simon Magus is please. My apologies to anyone who takes him seriously (Pat Robertson, not Simon Magus).

#2 "We have no atheists in the trenches."

Perhaps it’s the trench thingy. By the next war, Mr. Wife’s Uncle Bill was comfortable being militantly atheist in his very Catholic family. But he fought far from any trenches, so science would say that there’s the correlation.

#5 "At the start of the primary election season in early 1988, televangelist Pat Robertson's campaign was attacked because of a statement he had made about his military service. In his campaign literature, he stated he was a combat Marine who served in the Korean War. Other Marines in his battalion contradicted Robertson's version, claiming he had never spent a day in a combat environment. They asserted that instead of fighting in the war, Robertson's primary responsibility was supplying alcoholic beverages for his officers."

#6 His incantation and a timely evacuation ought to do the trick.

#8 Agreed, the latest prediction from the NHC shows the storm veering westward and sparing Virginia. Hummm.
Never fear, it will turn North towards the Ohio River Valley and wash out my driveway and bridge.

An honorable and much-appreciated service...but not combat

#12 As of 2pm 9/12/18 the NHC predicts that the storm will veer south of Virginia. Robertson's Shield Of Protection seems to be working.

#14 Maybe he could get the USS Enterprise (1701-D) to go into low orbit and extend its' shields? An idea so crazy it just might work!

Yes, but Jesus was a Jew. Al Gore is extremely disappointed because the storm appears to have weakened.

#32 I think the moral of the story is Pat Robertson got lucky. (Better lucky than good).
On the other hand, I got 6" from Gordon and now I suppose I will get as much from Florence, thanks to Robertson.
Cheers.
