God's Plan To Punish A Couple Of Blue States

God's spokesperson has some news for America:

The Rev. Pat Robertson says God has told him that storms and possibly a tsunami will hit America's coastline this year.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network has told viewers of "The 700 Club" that the revelations came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

"If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms," Robertson said May 8.

He added specifics in Wednesday's show.

"There well may be something as bad as a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest," he said.

Here's what I don't understand. Will God cause these events, or is he merely predicting these events? Even Robertson isn't sure that he "heard the Lord right" on this. Was God mumbling to Robertson?
