Pat Robertson warns Pa. town of disaster

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned
residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may
strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting
school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.

All eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for re-election were
defeated Tuesday after trying to introduce "intelligent design" - the
belief that the universe is so complex that it must have been created
by a higher power - as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

"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 the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."

Eight families had sued the district, claiming the policy violates the
constitutional separation of church and state. The federal trial
concluded days before Tuesday's election, but no ruling has been
issued.

Later Thursday, Robertson issued a statement saying he was simply
trying to point out that "our spiritual actions have consequences."

"God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in
his eye forever," Robertson said. "If they have future problems in
Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help
them."



Robertson made headlines this summer when he called on his daily show
for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up
with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women
to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and
become lesbians."

Robertson takes the term "loose cannon" to totally new levels. :-)

That has to be a real embarrassment to the people who are touting
"intelligent design" studies. They are all running around the country
proclaiming, "It's science, not religion! it isn't based on scripture!
No problem with the first amendment!".......and here comes Pat
Robertson putting the lie to the whole schpiel with "a vote against
intelligent design is a vote against God!"

Somebody ought to trot the old guy off to a retirement home. Every time
he opens his mouth lately he gets loonier and loonier. It's scary to
think how many people take him seriously.

Obviously, you've not heard of the DNC's new chairman, Howard 'screamin'
Dean.

In the mid-east this is known as a Fatwah.

Put Robertson in a robe and you'd have a hard time distinguishing him
from a fanatical Islamic lunatic.

But, Robertson is right the issue. Either you acknowlege God or you don't.
If you don't acknowledge God then why are you asking Him for things?

straight out of the liebral playbook.
