Pat Robertson at it Again

On today’s 700 Club, Rev. Pat Robertson took the opportunity to strongly rebuke voters in Dover, PA who removed from office school board members who supported teaching faith-based “intelligent design” and instead elected Democrats who opposed bringing up the possibility of a Creator in the school system’s science curriculum.
Rev. Robertson warned the people of Dover that God might forsake the town because of the vote.
Pat Robertson“I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover. If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city. And don’t wonder why He hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I’m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for His help because he might not be there.”
People who actually believe what this douche has to say ought to be put on some kind of FBI watchlist.
If this guy really thinks God is speaking to him, he might want to get his antennae checked because it looks like he's getting some major interference.
Oh, you must be part of one of those PC groups who believe in tolerance and diversity.
I'll admit that Robertson could have worded it differently.
God really is talking to him in His own way.
Twenty years ago Pat Robertson's opinion would've been national news.
Now no one cares except to laugh at him.
Yep, I'd say God is speaking loud and clear.

I am.
However, I am also intolerant of ignorance, especially religiouslly fueled ignorance.

Ol Pat has so many issues he got a subscription. He went around the bend about ten years ago when he suddenly became obssessed with Revelations Theology (the end of the world) and since then he's been loopy as hell.

Thank you. That line just made my day.

Glad to make you smile!

Really, I suppose you are all knowing and ignorant of nothing? If not, should we be intolerant of you? Thank about that. I don't live in Robertson's camp, I don't watch his show, and haven't sent him any money, but the PC camp also bitches about the intolerance of Conservatives while breaking their own rule. That's hypocritical. First take off your Mr. Perfect Hat, cause you aren't, and then discuss what you don't like about his thinking logically. You strike me as a PC kind of person, so I think it is up to you to demonstrate your tolerance, as an example to us "hicks".

Maybe so, but this doesn't help the tone change that the mods are trying to establish around here. I get the flamer medal, but xerxes gets to flame. Now what if I had been a Robertson follower, I would have been highly offended, thus the flaming begins.
The Flamer Medal looks like a cheap piece of shit with a pumpkin logo. I'm highly offended.
Up until ten years ago I supported Robertson because a lot of what he said made sense and a lot of the things he warned about have come to pass.
Then he got going on the end of the world stuff and came off like one of those loopy fools with the sign that says "THE END IS NEAR!".
Since then everything he says dovetails into his Apocalyptic worldview and he segues almost every interview or lecture in that direction.
He still says some things that make sense every now and again but they're hard to sort out from the constant drone of his end-of-the-world mantra.

I've met him and I also used to work for Don Hodel & Ralph Reed. Hodel & Reed are doing just fine these days while Pat is loopy.
I'm not insulting his religious views, just saying that he is unnaturally obsessed with the end times.
Bart, you're missing my point with respect to CKA.

I never said I knew everything. And if I come off that way, I apologize as that is not my intent.
I am intolerant of religious thinking that goes along the lines of, "God controls everything so I don't need to think about how the world works." God gave you an intelligent mind so use it. Don't simply use the Bible as the final word on the processes of Nature. Expand you knowledge of how the world works to enhance your appreciation of God's creation.
I experience that sort of thinking with my parents all the time. I remember one time my dad had read an article from a newspaper from where he grew up in Paraguay. There was an article in it explaining the environmental forces behind a drought they've been having there the last few years. His reaction? "People are trying to learn too much about God's ways" [this is a paraphrase].

You get the flamer medal for being abusinve to other people on the site, not in society.
That being said, who here would not laugh at the people who believe that God won't protect Dover, PA anymore? How about the people who were praying with Pat for a Hurricane to trash Disneyworld for hosting Gay Days?
I bet you those are the same kind of people who would phone Miss Cleo or carry a rabbit's foot with them.
Yea, I must be dumb or something, as I can't see anything that Bart said, sounds like flaming to me???? Funny yes, but I guess some here have little on no sence of humor.... when it come that there God person..
