The Curse of the Devil - Scary

Yes, I know it's been a couple of days since this incident happened, but I'd just like to point out that not all Christians are like "TV Evangelist" Pat Robertson.

It's people like Robertson who makes the rest of the world think that Christians are crazy people who want to convert everyone. That's really not the case. Personal feelings aside, Robertson is a dunce - bottom line. First of all, in such a time of crisis as this, why on EARTH would you say that the affected country is "cursed?" According to Gulf-Daily News, Roberton told his audience that "something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it... they were under the heel of the French and got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you and you'll get us free from the French. And so the devil said, OK, it's a deal. But ever since they've been cursed. But it may be a blessing in disguise."

They did not swear a pact with the devil to rise against the French. They were just fed up with French tyranny in Haiti, so all the slaves rebelled and they became free. Where does this "curse" nonsense come from?

Just goes to show you that there are always extremists, no matter what the religion or belief.
