...from Pat Robertson in re Haiti:
"They were under the heel of the French, you know Napoleon the third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said 'We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.' True story. And so the devil said, 'Ok it’s a deal.' And they kicked the French out."
Kathleen Parker writes in the Washington Post:
Robertson was referring to a voodoo ceremony in 1791 that some historians believe was a spark for the revolution. The call to revolt was issued by Dutty Boukman, a voodoo priest and leader of the Maroon slaves.
Fair enough. But what I'd like to know is, why did God wait 219 years to punish Haiti with this earthquake? Was he that busy?
