Pat Robertson Rides Again

News Item: NORFOLK, Va. - Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for "dividing God's land. God considers this land to be his," Robertson said on his TV program "The 700 Club."

Now this money grubbing hater with the large TV following, that claims to be a man of faith, personally claims to know exactly what God’s desire and actions are. He has obviously joined those Palestinians who are celebrating Sharon’s massive stroke, albeit for different reasons.

God punished Sharon? Common sense would say it was his age, weight, stress, and office that were the major causes. Of course it could have happened due to “Intelligent Design.”

How does Robertson get all this knowledge? Maybe he has a special phone that connects to heaven. Should I call BellSouth and ask for the same service? No. Maybe because it would be a long distance call I should contact Sprint and use my cell phone for the connection.

Am I being sacrilegious? No, just trying to add a little humor to the bigoted, asinine, sacrilegious rantings of a so-called religious leader. Wouldn’t hurt if our “born again” president would denounce Mr. Robertson’s statement. But he would be afraid of losing backing from the evangelical right.
