Greg, over at The Talent Show, talks about the loving Pat Roberts' latest comments on Ariel Sharon's recent stroke: Is God A Murderer? Pat Robertson Thinks So.
He keeps it more succint than I could:
You'd have to be an evil sonofabitch to exploit this tragedy to pursue your agenda (via TPM) :
The Rev. Pat Robertson said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is being punished by God for dividing the Land of Israel. Robertson, speaking on the “700 Club” on Thursday, suggested Sharon, who is currently in an induced coma, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated by an Israeli extremist in 1995, were being treated with enmity by God for dividing Israel. “He was dividing God’s land,” Robertson said. “And I would say, Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations or the United States of America. God says, This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.”
And the parting line:
I hadn't realized that god was an assassin who takes orders from televangelists. I'm sure prayer time at the Robertson household is a hoot :
"Dear Jesus, please kill the following people...."
Yeah, let's just go over this once more. A man who cons people into giving him money to uphold the Christian way of life (whatever that is) and then uses his pulpit to spew hate at whomever he wants is not a Reverend in any sense of the word. He's certainly not a Christian.
I love you Pat!
