The Continuing Insanity of Pat Robertson

Pat Robertson has lost his damned mind. I am truly shocked by his current tirade. I'm not even going to get into his past comments which are all uniformly bizarre. But to insinuate that Ariel Sharon's stroke is God's "divine punishment" for dividing God's land has got to be the single dumbest thing to come out of his mouth in a long time. Which is quite a feat given his abject stupidity.

I thought we had gotten past this. For the love of Zeus, it's 2006. Can we stop looking at medical conditions as punishments for transgressions against God? Are we still such superstitious monkeys? I am truly disgusted. This is the very worst of Christianity. A mean-spirited, supremely arrogant schadenfreude. Pat Robertson has truly gone over the edge.

Christianity would be better off if Pat Robertson was marginalized.
The United States of America would be better off if Pat Robertson had no national pulpit to speak from.

I don't want any part of a God whom Pat Robertson speaks for in any way. There is no just and meritocratic system in the world where a two-bit, tier 3 half wit like Pat Robertson could hold sway over any significant group of people whose collective IQ's break double digits.

If you are a Christian, please ask youself if this is the man you want representing your faith? For myself, I wouldn't let such a man wash my car.

He's either mean or stupid or both. Given his track record, I'm going with both.
