Well, that baby might grow up to be Hitler!

Oye.

The 700 Club is a Christian Broadcast stalwart, with (according to them) over 360 million viewers per year around the world.  And Pat Robertson, televangelist extrodinaire, is the host.  Usually he explains all the bad in the world as a result of the Gays (Hurricane Katrina) or the Lesbians (9/11) or the atheists (Hurricane Sandy).
.
But in a  bit of Q&A he explained why a woman's baby might die at 3 years old, after a long and painful illness.  Because God knows that baby might be the next Hitler (or Stalin).  You see, a viewer wrote in and said her co-worked was struggling with her child's death and ask the woman why God would let him die so painfully.  The woman asked Pat.  I am hoping she does not return to the woman to console her with the words, God knows your baby was going to be Hitler.
.
Which also begs the question, why didn't God know Hitler was going the be Hitler?  If God is busy smiting toddlers as future dictators, how did he miss the actual Hitler and Stalin?  I mean I get how he missed Mao (since Mao's parents were heathens), but how did those two get through?  No answers in the 90 second clip below.
