With the situation in Haiti as dire as it is, the last thing we need is an asshole like Pat Robertson running around saying that the people of Haiti brought a natural disaster on themselves by gasp, not being Christian. Nevermind that 80% of Haitians identify as Catholic [eh, but that's the devil's religion too, according to the evangelicals]. It just goes to speak to the intolerance some people have in regards to other religions and the quite common practice of blending multiple forms of spirituality [i.e. Haiti's unique mix of Roman Catholicism and Haitian Vodou].
It's a frickin' earthquake. Haiti did not cause this to happen any more than Thailand caused the 2005 tsunami.
peace and love,
