just for the fun of it here’s another stupid robertson quote

this one is from the ’92 republican national convention:

[Feminism is] a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians. —Pat Robertson, 1992 Republican National Convention

i find it interesting again that a supposed CHRISTian leader justifies his problem with an ideology by saying that it hurts “capitalism.” since when should “hurting capitalism” be a reason for a follower of CHRIST to oppose an idea?

come on if you going to supposedly speak out “for” CHRIST please give a better reason than it will hurt capitalism. i can just see JESUS looking down from heaven and saying “why in the world would i be upset about american capitalism being hurt?” heck if it’s going to hurt the really messed up western capitalism that we are experiencing maybe i should really begin to support the feminist allot more.

pat robertson is an idiot

i posted this on my ministry blog a couple of days ago but i figured i would post it here also.

CLICK HERE to read the new york times article – robertson is pilloried for assassination call
would some one please tell me how “assassination” fits into CHRIST’s plan for the kingdom?

i just can not get it through my mind how a supposedly CHRIST-honoring show can make bold statements about assassinating a non-hitler type ruler. chavez is no saint and personally i think it would be great if he wasn’t in power. some say he’s driving his country economically into the ground. yet he’s not committing human rights violations on a monsterous scale. whose lives will be saved by killing such a man? the only thing that will be saved by assassinating him is money and oil. in my opinion this is not a very good reason for toppling a government and almost a blasphemous reason when it comes from someone who professes to be a follower of CHRIST.

and now robertson has issued an apology which says:

I said our special forces should ‘take him out.”‘Take him out’ could be a number of things, including kidnapping.

common on! just admit it when you mess up. we all do every now and then. it just seems that robertson has more talent for making public, idiotic statements than the rest of do.

i’m really ready for some sane CHRISTians to get noticed being the public mouth-pieces of the religious right (of which i am not a part). i’m tired of being “lumped in” with these psychos.

pat robertson was an idiot before he said this but this statement and his semi-non-apology just proves it once again.

this is noah with “chipzilla” the potato chip that noah promises is the largest potato chip in the world. actually, i should state that “chipzilla” was the world largest potato chip because it is now in pieces inside noah’s belly. thankfully, i was able to get a picture of “chipzilla” before noah devoured him/her (i’m not sure if potato chips have gender or not).

saying it right for once

it’s nice to see that the vast majority of CHRISTian “talking heads” are handling robertson’s stupid comments correctly … condemning them.

here’s what the world evangelical alliance said about his statement:

This kind of statement, by this well known American Christian leader, is in complete contradiction to the teachings of Jesus Christ who evangelical Christians believe and seek to demonstrate,” says Geoff Tunnicliffe, WEA International Director. He goes on to add, “Robertson does not speak for evangelical Christians. We believe in justice and the protection of human rights of all people, including the life of President Chavez.
