Pat Robertson: Intelligent design rejection was a vote against God

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. The Reverend Pat Robertson says Pennsylvanians who voted members of the Dover Area school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" rejected God as well.

Eight school board members who wanted high school biology students to be told that intelligent design is an alternative to evolution lost their re-election bids Tuesday.

On today's broadcast of "The 700 Club," Robertson told Dover residents, "If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God." The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network explained, "You just voted God out of your city."


This is fricking INSANE and without a doubt violation of IRS status. He went on public TV and wished ill against an entire city because they choose to remove Intelligent Design from the Science classroom (and btw, the school board elected did say they would consider offering ID discussion in an election comparative religion class).

So a Pastor preaching against a war - a war that has killed & maimed thousands of innocent soldiers & civilians is a violation of IRS tax-free status for a church. Yet Pat Robertson can come out and call an entire city godless and talk about how they would get no help if disasters were to strike and yet he still gets away with being Tax Free

This is just FUCKED UP!!

1. He's a freak. Good question though he also advocated the

execution of Chavez...sounds very political from the pulpit to me.

[Imagine My Surprise]

5. Exactly.

If All Saints in Pasadena loses their exemption (which I seriously doubt, as a former Pasadena resident)then this would spell BIG trouble for the fundies. And they know it. Which is why the head of the national evangelical group went on record as opposing All Saints losing their status.

The fundies have MUCH more to lose in THIS battle than the non-Kool-aid drinking Christians.

[texpatriot2004]

8. Yeah. It pisses me off that the decent Christian churches have

not been vocal, as vocal as the Fundie Freaks on the issues facing us but hey, that's just me. Normally I abhor politics and religion mixing but under the circumstances I find the fact that the Fundies go off at the pulpit constantly without being called on their bullshit UNACCEPTABLE - yet can't find non-Fundies doing political sermons.

18. Sounds too much like what the other side says about Muslims

Why don't we hear more from Muslims if their religion is about peace. Why don't they condemn their radical brothers.

I'm not the freak's keeper.

Also, I might suggest that two wrongs aren't going to make a right. So both sides get political when we're trying to get religion out of politics? That would end up being hypocritical.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, there are folks around like these guys: http://www.catholicdemocrats.net who do seem to be answering back. Why nobody hears them, I dunno.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. Yep, that's the legal term for it

Fucked up.

I still think it's all because of the lesbians.

[napi21]

3. Probably because they realize he's an insane old man.

At the very least he could claim insanity and get awyay with it!

[liberal N proud]

4. Proof this moron is not a Christian:

"If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God"

[Imagine My Surprise]

6. He gave proof that he's not a Christian long, long ago

[bluedawg12]

13. He does not speak for God. n/t

[Zenlitened]

7. Well, that can't be. ID is not about god, right?

:eyes:

Whoopsie, Preacher Pat -- you just strayed from the script!

But please feel free to continue. The more you yelp about ID and god, the better.

[Little Star]

9. Other churches need

to denounce this crazy vengeful god shit!!!!! Where the hell are the sane religions on this????

[Imagine My Surprise]

10. The problem is, the sane religions, by virtue of their sanity...

aren't exactly up in the grandstands on this. Just like religious radio. One doesn't hear a firey Unitarian sermon of KGOD.

[RaleighNCDUer]

11. It does give me a certain amount of satisfaction to know that

by this Patwah he admits that ID is exactly the intrusion of god into the schools that the ID proponants are constantly claiming it is not.

[bluedawg12]

12. Another tantrum by a man of hubris. n/t

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Answer: Alberto Gonzeles, Justice is no longer blind.

[texpatriot2004]

15. Didn't someone recently create a thread about reporting these

people to the IRS? Like this week I think it was.

[Booster]

16. The IRS people must really be plain stupid if they can't figure

out how this guy invests in diamond mines and racehorses, lives in a mansion and has limosines and private jets. Give me a break, IRS.

[KBlagburn]

17. He withdrew his application for non-tax status several years ago....

when he was being investigated for his trips to africa looking for gold and diamonds.

[agincourt]

19. Documentories should be done about this guy,

And just how much he IS the real Republican party. It would give the GOP "soft base", something to think about.

[ngGale]

20. The right owns, Robertson...

he will say and do anything they want him to. He keeps the sheeple in line...:evilfrown:
