Pat Robertson Has a Wimpy God

There's a crazy old man on my TV saying crazy things.  Pat Robertson claims to be a man of God and to have received a calling to deliver a religious message to the entire world.  But his view of God is skewed by his particular brand of conservative politics.  He subjugates major tenets of Christianity in order to make a political point. 

Recently, the citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania voted out eight school board members, all associated with "intelligent design."  These ousted public servants had made a point of bringing this concept into the Dover classrooms and the citizens made an opposing point on election day.  Isn't America great?

Pat Robertson decided that the results of this local election would cause God almighty his self to banish this township of 18,000 from his consciousness.  "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," Robertson blathered on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."

What part of omnipotent does he not get?  Does Pat Robertson really believe that God is affected by the results of an election?  Can he get Him to come to my kid's Birthday party?

This ludicrous argument by a person that knows better reminds me of the religious leaders that responded to the removal of school sanctioned prayer by saying that we had "Removed God from the classroom."  Then, as now, God becomes a panty waste in order to fit into the logic- free arguments of religious conservatives.

Here's a sample of other lunatic ravings from the leader of the American religious right:

Feminism is a socialist anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

He forgot the biggest societal scourge they encourage, equal work for equal pay.

I'm hearing from the Lord that it's going to be like a blow-out election.

You should have made that bet when had the chance, Pat!

Strangest thing is that there is an audience for his kind of perverted piousness.  He takes in truck loads of money from fans of his show.  He continues to run his financial empire and pontificate nightly on "The 700 Club."  Occasionally he'll even encourage the assassination of another nation's leader.

He walks with God?

Personally, I believe in God but I am agnostic towards religion.  God much easier to understand.

Lessee, when Pat's God came the most powerful soldiers of the most powerful army of the time who were there to guard the tomb of Jesus, fainted with fear at just the angel as his countenance was like that of lightning.

I'm afraid you might be confusing Pat's God with one of your own.  Pat's God is suppressed by legislation, turned back by local elections, and defeated by video games and rock music. 

Don't look now but your hooves and horns are showing.

Geeeeeeze!  And people wonder why I try to stay anonymous.
