Pat Robertson--He isn't just an advocate of murder, he is an idiot

Remember when all the religious right people patted themselves on the back for rebuking Pat's little fatwah on Hugo Chavez? Well, we shall see if they are as willing now. Pat is now angry that the good people of Dover, PA rejected Intelligent Design in the most recent election.

Pat not only is mad at them, but he displays his wonderful sense of "theology" in deciding that their vote was not just about education or about science, but was a rejection of God himself! Wow, evidently, if you vote like Pat, you vote for God, ergo God agrees with Pat, ergo do what Pat says and you do what God says. Whatever.

Anyway, he warned Dover that if they ever need help from God in the future, he won't be there because they just voted him out. Why is it that cities never attrack God's wrath or the removal of his "covering" if they neglect the poor or have racial injustice or environmental disaster?

In his own, stupid, stupid words:

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.


This Intelligent Design passing as science is one of the signs our education system is in trouble. The fact that an idiot like this has the following he does is more proof and more troubling.

Not only that, Streak, but who would want to worship a god that could be voted out of a city? I like mine better.

FYI- CBN, Robertson's evil empire, is located in Virginia Beach. I got curious and a quick search turned up this article. Here's an excerpt quoting a Virginia Beach School District science teacher: “Is there a reason why we don’t teach creationism?” Her answer: “Creationism is a belief, and we don’t go into different people’s beliefs, whereas evolution is based on some science. This is a science class.” So, maybe Robertson's god won't be much good if a hurricane hits there, either.
FWIW

PS "If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody." Hmmmm
