En uppföljning av Pat Robertson-inlägget
Jag vill inte ödsla mer tid på honom egentligen, så jag kommer inte nämna honom. Däremot så svarade Herb Silverman på en fråga om själva incidenten, och han hade följande att säga:
I'm not particularly concerned about flat earthers and Holocaust deniers in this country, because they have no influence. I can't even name one, and that's a good thing. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about Pat Robertson, a household name to Americans. Even worse, he is influential and respected by millions. According to the book of Robertson, the reason for every disaster is sin, and the solution usually involves sending him money.
Det är ju verkligen så det är, och Herb Silverman satte verkligen huvudet på spiken. Jag gillade även det andra han hade att säga i artikeln.
Here's an alternative view. The "fault" lies under the Atlantic Ocean, not in the sins of Haitians. The earth's tectonic plates are neither good nor evil. The more we learn about their shifting, the better we will be able to predict future earthquakes.
And for those who still believe in the supernatural at the exclusion of scientific discovery, I'll confidently predict when you will again see God's wrath: July 11, 2010, the next total solar eclipse. And my home state of South Carolina will see such wrath on August 21, 2017. Fortunately, most people no longer think of an eclipse as a warning from God. Science works whether you believe in it or not.

Det sista är kanske ett av de bästa citaten jag har läst och det är mina läsares uppgift att faktiskt memorera den sista meningen så att ni kommer ihåg det för resten av era liv.
