Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday
reiterated his prediction that LGBT rights will provoke God to
destroy America's financial markets.
In September, Robertson predicted that
God would strike the United States with a massive financial crash for
allowing gay couples to marry.
“God Almighty is looking down on this
nation and, folks, I want to tell you that our finances right now are
hanging by a thread,” Robertson told his The 700 Club
viewers. “The rupture of the entire financial framework of our
world is so tenuous right now and if there is was ever a time that we
need the grace of God, it is now. And unless something is done to
change the courts and to change the way this country is going, it is
just a question of time before the fabric ruptures and we'll all
suffer because of it.”
On Monday's program, Robertson claimed
that since the Supreme court “enshrined sodomy into the United
States Constitution,” the U.S. is turning into the Biblical city of
Sodom.
“Now it's a constitutional right for
sodomites to marry each other,” Robertson
told viewers.
“I don't want the wrath of God to hit
this country. It's a great country. I'd like to see America
continue strong, but this is one way of weakening it. First of all,
we're going to have this financial collapse. We're setting up for a
massive financial collapse and I think if God is going to hurt this
country, that's probably the way he'd do it,” he added.
