Members abelisle Posted January 18, 2010 Members Posted January 18, 2010 The 'Devil' Writes Pat Robertson A Letter The "Minneapolis Star-Tribune" published a letter from Satan to evangelist Pat Robertson, responding to his comment that Haiti's persistent troubles, including the earthquake, are due to a pact the nation made with Mephistopheles. Actually, it wasn't Satan who wrote the letter but Lilly Coyle of Minneapolis writing in the persona of the hellish one. I think she got it down pretty well. What say you? Dear Pat Robertson, I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action. But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll. You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract. Best, Satan LILY COYLE, MINNEAPOLIS Quote We are our worst enemy - sad but true. http://abelisle.blogspot.com

Making a deal with the devil frequently leaves those that do desperate and impoverished.God is not the one that does. This little bit of comedy could actually mean God does. It has to be one or the other. [quote[Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll. If poverty,desperation,disease and heartache is not how satan operates, This just might lead some to believe those of you with enough to eat,enough in the bank to pay your bills,healthy family is being aided by satan.
