My explanation is based on three important assumptions: (a) Pat Robertson believes that Jesus died for everyone’s sins, (b) he believes that the end times is near, and (c) he is a capitalist.

This is still really funny! :) This was an email sent to a group of investors by Cognizo Technologies (apparently). One of the …
