Missed it by “that much.”

In January of this year, televangelist Pat Robertson informed his “700 Club” audience that God had revealed the results of the 2012 election to him in a vision, implying broadly at the time that the Almighty was less than pleased with President Barack Obama.

[...]

'I thought I had heard clearly from God, what happened? What intervenes? Why?” Robertson said. “You ask God, how did I miss it? Well, we all do and I’ve had a lot of practice.”

In January, Robertson said that God’s message to him was, “Your president holds a radical view of the direction of your country which is at odds with the majority, expect chaos and paralysis.”

He also predicted an “economic collapse” that would devastate the country, the result of which would be a new president. “But I’m not supposed to talk about that,” he said.

So now we know how long it takes messages from God to get to Pat Robertson – 4 years.

But that's much quicker than it gets to the rest of us. The rest of us had to wait until somebody who could hear God learned how to write to find out how quickly God created the Earth.

Bryan Fischer, the director of issues analysis of the conservative fundamentalist American Family Association, says that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was not wrong for suggesting that the Earth was created in seven days because the only “eyewitness account” is in the Bible.

[...]

“So, the only eyewitness account we could possibly have would have to come from the creator himself, and fortunately he left us an eyewitness account.”

Has any King James Bible believer ever explained why God quit dictating messages for print? Maybe he was like Margaret Mitchell* and had just one good book in him.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Not to be confused with Martha Mitchell, wife of Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell, a much more interesting story.

“The Martha Mitchell effect is the process by which a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health clinician mistakes the patient's perception of real events as delusional and misdiagnoses accordingly.”  [...] Quoting psychotherapist Joseph Berke, the authors note that "even paranoids have enemies." [...] After the Watergate break-in, Martha Mitchell began contacting reporters when her husband's role in the scandal became known, for which she became known as "the Mouth of the South". Nixon later told interviewer David Frost [...] that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell such that no one was minding the store, and "If it hadn't been for Martha Mitchell, there'd have been no Watergate."
