Dear Pat Robertson...

Your claim that the reason for the recent tornadoes is that the people living in the affected area didn't pray enough to influence the Almighty to prevent the carnage.

I don't understand - by making this claim (and also claiming that God speaks to you, and you speak for him) you're suggesting that God is petty and vengeful requiring attention through prayer so much that he would destroy people's lives indiscriminately if he didn't get sufficient supplication - which really violates the idea that "God is Love"- to the point where the hypocrisy required would make it impossible for a "perfect" god to exist.

Is that what you really believe?   That God isn't omnipotent but commits many cardinal sins either because he can't help himself, or that he simply chooses to sin?
