The White House is speechless. Pat Robertson is clarifying. But fellow evangelical pastor Rick Warren has perhaps the final word on the matter, via Twitter:
Labeling any natural disaster as God’s judgment is nonsense. True “judgment begins with God’s family” 1Peter4:17, not others
UPDATE: Warren, for his part, has responded to the Haiti tragedy like a true Christian, by offering to mud wrestle comedian Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute from The Office) on Pay-Per-View for Haiti-related charities. No joke. The Twitter exchange after the jump.
Wilson, who has been tweeting on Haiti relief efforts, got the attention of Warren, who tweeted.
@rainnwilson Thanks for your note,your follow & RT & your care 4 Haiti.Our PEACE Plan is there.You’re the funniest guy onTV
Then Wilson responded.
Wanna wrestle sometime? RT Thx 4 yr note,yr follow & RT & yr care 4 Haiti.Our PEACE Plan is there.Yr the funniest guy onTV (via @RickWarren)
Then Warren tweeted.
