38. I want to know what Pat Robertson did with $14 million
January 28, 2006
$14 million in federal faith-based money goes to Pat Robertson
Televangelist's claim that Ariel Sharon's stroke was an act of God may have cost him the friendship of some Israelis, but it hasn't prevented his charity, Operation Blessing, from garnering faith-based grants from the U.S. government

While the Reverend Pat Robertson was flayed recently over his suggestion that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was an act of retribution by God for the transfer of land in the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians, the Reverend's charitable organization, Operation Blessing, was raking in wads of faith-based money from the Bush Administration.

Where's the accountability? He postures on about having NO DEBT, yet he doesn't have a problem putting Americans in debt to finance his scams.

I'm a Christian. Not a fundie. The Atheists and Secular Humanists have to call out these people, because people of FAITH just let it slide and attack anyone in their midst who might question the morality.
