Pat Robertson's at it again....

Robertson warns Pennsylvania voters of God's wrath
Eight 'intelligent design' school board members lost election

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck.

Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate and founder of the influential Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Coalition, has made similar apocalyptic warnings and provocative statements before.

Last summer, he hit the headlines by calling for the assassination of leftist Venezuelan Present Hugo Chavez, one of President George W. Bush's most vocal international critics.

"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 said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club."

"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," he said.

The 700 Club claims a daily audience of around one million. It is also broadcast around the world translated into more than 70 languages.

In voting on Tuesday, eight Dover, Pennsylvania, school board members up for re-election lost their seats after trying to introduce a statement on "intelligent design" to high school biology students.

Adherents of intelligent design argue that certain forms in nature are too complex to have evolved through natural selection and must have been created by a "designer." Opponents say it is the latest attempt by conservatives to introduce religion into the school science curriculum.

The Dover case sparked a trial in federal court that gained nationwide attention after the school board was sued by parents backed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The board ordered schools to read students a short statement in biology classes informing them that the theory of evolution is not established fact and that gaps exist in it.

The statement mentioned intelligent design as an alternate theory and recommended students read a book that explained the theory further. A decision in the case is expected before the end of the year.

In 1998, Robertson warned the city of Orlando, Florida that it risked hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorist bombs after it allowed homosexual organizations to put up rainbow flags in support of sexual diversity.

Falwell is just a garden variety no neck fundamentalist hypocrite..Robertson on the other hand has the aura of a truly crazed fanatic.

I just watched "Pat Robertson's Greatest Hits"... I had heard most of those quotes before or had seen the clips, but never all in one place.

There's a rocker somewhere in Virginia, and Patty-Bob is totally off of it.

The feminist lesbian quote is my favorite. It's just too funny. And I swooned over that snarky voiceover that Anderson gave for that segment.

[UnwindedDreams]

Oh Lord help him.

It cracks me up when these fundamentalist dunderheads say that kids should "make up their own minds" & that therefore "all sides" should be "presented" (in other words, fundamentalist religion as well as science, as if the two were equivalent in the context of schooling).

Make up their own minds?! What the hell does that mean as regards a scientific theory? "I've decided that I like chocolate ice cream better than vanilla"??

Picture it: Somewhere in the bowels of a public school, an unsaved science teacher decides that today's lesson will focus on how a plane gets off the ground. So he is going to discuss the laws of gravity & thermodynamics & the various forces involved: lift, thrust, friction, momentum, etc.

After that, he's been instructed to turn to his students & tell them, "I want you to make up your own minds."

What are they supposed to do? "Uhh ... yeah ... it's got a good beat ... I give it a 5."

The sap religionist on TV this evening -- some senator from Alabama or somewhere -- said, "I truly believe that Gawd is in full control of all the forces of nature & uses nature to do His bidding. I also believe that the hurricane was sent by Gawd to punish the sinners who live & fornicate along the Gulf Coast." (He didn't put it in quite those words.)

So how do these sap religionists advance from "Gawd uses nature to do His bidding" to actually state what they "know" Gawd's purpose is in sending the hurricanes? How do they know Gawd's purpose has anything to do with sinners & fornicators? How do they know that Gawd's purpose doesn't have anything to do with the recharge of groundwater to replenish wells, cave streams & springs (hurricanes actually benefit wetlands & marshes in the long run--the sediment that the storm surge pushes inland nourishes the marshes in years to come). How do they know groundwater recharge isn't Gawd's purpose?

I'll tell you why: because these sap religionists WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION IN SCIENCE CLASS!!

Someone in the media needs to start posting pictures of Pat and Dubya hanging out.That would send a strong message that folks couldn't ignore.

The Fundi-NAZIS in this country are just as looney and dangerous as anyone in the Taliban or Al Queda. I did see a bumber sticker the other day that I have to own....'The Baptist Church, America's own Taliban' There is hope.
