Oops, He Did It Again!

Will somebody please tell Pat Robertson to shut up!

He is at it again and, this time, it is the people of Pennsylvania who are the target of his nonsensical (in my opinion)diatribe.

A couple days ago, we turned on the television, tuning into CNN's Lou Dobbs (a not-so favourite broadcaster of Juds') only to hear the tailend of a story about this goodly gentleman, Pat Robertson.

Wondering what he did this time, I made a note to check the Internet for the full story and I was not disappointed!

My question is, when will the people of the church/congregation that Mr. Robertson leads finally put the theory of "Intelligent Design" into action and ask their leader to think before he speaks?

Although he is pulling that line that politicians are famous for: "I was taken out of context," given his record, it is hard to believe that he was dragged too far from his intention. He is possibly the poster senior citizen for the hell and damnation rhetoric that so many religious groups love to preach.

The scary part for me (and should be too for all well thinking people and believers who truly consider God as a loving being) is that there is, seemingly, a growing number of persons, especially in the United States, that actually believe such theology - that the Creator would punish humanity with disasters!

I have given my two cents worth on this issue of God and punishment, the question now is, where do you stand?

It certainly will take each of us to live and speak out our beliefs in our homes and wherever our circle of influence may be. You can start by participating in our poll to the right of your screen.

To not do speak out or take some action means that the followers of the Pat Robertsons of this world, who exist not only in the Christianity but in any religious sphere that argues for close-minded thinking, will eventually speak and make decisions for all of us, whether we like it or not!

Arguments like the ones Pat Robertson have put forward, belie Intelligent Design.
