Pat Robertson Keeping God's Line Busy

While millions are desperately trying to get God to speak to them, feverishly seeking some sign that He does indeed exist in a world of abused children, horrible disease, and Virgil Goode, the Man Upstairs has been taking time to whisper predictions to everyone's favorite lunatic.

Pat Robertson is following up his failed 2006 prediction that major storms, or, perhaps, a hurricane, would hit the United States coast, by letting us know that God has notified him that a major terrorist attack could occur in America sometime after September this year.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.

God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson is known for his yearly, often outlandish predictions.

In 2005 he predicted that terrorism would begin to falter and that Bush's second term would be one of triumph.

In 2004 he predicted, correctly, that Fantasia Barrino would win American Idol.
