Pat Robertson.
Now, I don't take much, if any, of Pat Robertson's supposedly "prophetic words" seriously. Much less his claims of his conversations with God. It's rather easy to slip into sarcasm when I and some others write about this, so I'll certainly do my best to show some restraint.
What shall we say of Pat Robertson's declarations about this and that which has made him pop up into the press? Publicity stunt? Misguided zeal (a.k.a. bad theology)? Or maybe something else?
I honestly admit I'll grant Pat Robertson everything except my concession of him being right. Of him (really, trully) talking to God.
Of course I will need to cover other things such as whether God speaks today or whether prophecies still go on being made. I'm not going to cover these issues here, but perhaps sometime else.
Until then, I've said to myself "Take everything he says with a grain of salt" and "Discuss with those who think he is right".
