Pat Robertson goes crazy

If he's right, then good for him - he got one right. If he's wrong, it won't be the first time.

This comment by Robertson really caught my attention:

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

If his prophecies were truly coming from God, Pat wouldn't miss any of them. That's the real danger of holding yourself up to be a prophet. If you proclaim to speak for God, you'd better get it right. False prophets in the Bible were typically put to death.

If I were in Pat's shoes, I certainly wouldn't make light of the situation by saying, "I have a relatively good track record," as if he's some sort of palm reader or soothsayer.
