Pat Robertson on Dover PA

[Fangtooth]

I know im new (lol first post) but what are your guy’s views on Pat Robertson’s comments on Dover, PA?

For refrance, they voted out support for Intellegent Design in the recent election. PR said: “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 “If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them.”

Pat Robertson is just some preacher whose remarks should have discredited him a long time ago. The only reason anyone listens to him is because he has access to a TV network.

He has forgotten the scriptures:

For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.Hosea 6:6 NAB

“Go and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.” Matt 9:6 NAB

One problem is, he may be partially right.

If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern there any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? … Yet if God wills that it continues. . . until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid another drawn with the sword . . . so still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
President Abraham Lincoln in his 2nd Inaugural

If you think of 46 Million Babies slaughtered since 1973 on the alter of Convenience, then you realize we’ve done a crime that equivalent to the one that merited the one President Lincoln spoke of and that kept the Nazis from surrendering for most of the last 6 months when their fight was more hopeless than Italy’s or Japan’s ever was.

He just doesn’t know what he’s right about, or what is is we need to turn away from.

In Christ, Michael

Pat seems to love Jesus until he gets angry. Then God is going to smite Dover PA as if was the city of Sodom that had hardly any good people in it using fire and brimstone!!!

He makes us all look bad and the media is only too eager to help. Just imagine if he called on his congregation to pray for the people he was against. His rants may encourage other secular minded people to reject intelligent design in the end. Pat could seriously use a good Catholic conversion.

I can respect his honesty and the fact that he speaks his mind. It’s just too bad he makes rash angry calls that discredit Christianity.
