Letter from Satan to Pat Robertson

Letter from Satan to Pat Robertson

I think this letter (supposed to be from Satan addressed to Pat Robertson; the actual author is Lily Coyle of Minneapolis) is worth sharing:

Dear Pat Robertson,

I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so Iโ€™m all over that action.

But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but Iโ€™m no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished.

Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth โ€” glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Havenโ€™t you seen โ€œCrossroadsโ€? Or โ€œDamn Yankeesโ€?

If I had a thing going with Haiti, thereโ€™d be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox โ€” that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it โ€” Iโ€™m just saying: Not how I roll.

Youโ€™re doing great work, Pat, and I donโ€™t want to clip your wings โ€” just, come on, youโ€™re making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. Thatโ€™s working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract.

Best, Satan

HT Joseph Kelly
