VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson says God told him that the U.S. is bankrupt and heading into economic turmoil, but there won't be a global nuclear holocaust.

On Monday's broadcast of CBN News' "The 700 Club," Robertson said he's "not a psychic," but he asks God for direction at the beginning of each year, and sometimes God gives it to him.

Robertson said God told him that America's lenders will demand repayment - not this year, but in 2012 - and the U.S. won't be able to pay, resulting in currency collapse, rampant unemployment and riots.

2. But when will Pat give the news to Mark Z. Jacobson?

MZJ's got a new paper out. There's gonna be a nuclear war and we're all gonna die.

Yup.

6. As often as this puke is wrong on predictions... now I'm worried!

I assume he's not actually talking to God but rather taking the temperature of the gullible fools who listen to him to determine what would induce contributions from them.
