Not saying I agree with CBN's Pat Robertson but...
There has to be some reason (logical or no) other than Political Greed & Corruption as to why Haiti has NEVER been prosperous since they broke free from the French Colonial reign.
Before any of you proceed with the reading of this post or begin passing judgment just take a deep breath and consider this:
If the results of Political Greed & Corruption reaped that much destruction and poverty then America would be in the same shape financially as Haiti don't you agree?
I mean let's face it the American Gov't is full of Political Greed & Corruption, yet our country has NEVER suffered like people in Haiti.
Even when Slavery was legal in America our nation NEVER experienced such levels of consistent, frequent, widespread, long term Poverty & Despair as Haiti.
Not Ever!
Yes America has pockets of Poverty and Despair, however the ENTIRE nation of Haiti is basically living in utter nastiness, extreme Poverty.
Come on do your historical research!
Each time that country tries to rise up it never, ever lasts for very long.
This consistent, extreme Poverty can only be explained by some possibly strange Phenomenon or maybe Haiti's long term devastation could actually be the result of a curse.
Sounds crazy?
Ok, than give me your theory or wise explanation why Haiti can never remain on its own two feet as a nation for very long.
Why is it that America and Dominican Republic have both remained successful for centuries, while Haiti has not?
Something is definitely wrong with this picture!
Again please don't just use Political Corruption and Greed as the only reasons.
NOTE:
I did NOT say Haiti's earthquake was caused by God!
I am NOT implying Haiti is hopeless or anything to that nature.
Just wanted to give you something else to think about.
Either way my heart goes out to the citizens of Haiti in their suffering and I will be praying for them.
We should also continuing helping them via Natural Disaster Relief and Aid, etc.,
By the way I don't think that Pat Robertson is a gook or has Dementia.
My respect for Pat Robertson remains in the highest regard.
Robertson On Haiti: "Pact With The Devil"
Today on his Christian Broadcasting Network, Pat Robertson stated the earthquake in Haiti was due to a "Pact with the Devil" made centuries ago, for wanting its freedom from French Colonial Rule:
"You know, Christie, something happened a long time ago in Haiti. And the people might not want to talk about it. They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third or whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the Devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you get us free from the French. True story. And so, the Devil said, Ok, it's a deal. And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another -- desperately poor. That island of Hispaniola is one island. It's cut down the middle.
On the one side is Haiti on the other is the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have, and we need to pray for them, a great turning to God, that out of this tragedy, I'm optimistic something good may come, but right now we're helping the suffering people -- and the suffering is unimaginable".
