Robertson predicts recession, stock crash

[additional-authors]
January 4, 2008

Morning humor from the DMN religion blog:

In what’s become an annual tradition (or, if you prefer, joke) televangelist Pat Robertson revealed his predictions for 2008—or, more accurately, he let the rest of us in on what he says God has told him will happen.

Here‘s the story from the Associated Press.

According to Robertson, God has economic disaster in store for us: A deep recession, $150-a-barrel oil, a tumbling dollar. All of this will lead to a major stock market crash in 2009 or ‘10.

It’s worth noting that Robertson’s past predictions have often been wrong.

As for the 2008 presidential race, in which Robertson endorsed Rudy Giuliani, the televangelist was silent on who will win.
