i can't believe that i missed this in the news. really, i can't. i think it fell between the cracks of the miners deal and my end of the week plans. but when i heard that pat robertson was suggesting that God was punishing sharon for dividing israel i was stunned. really, i don't know why this shocks me. good old pat told a part of pennsylvania not to cry out to God because they got rid of intelligent design in a textbook. or how about when he called for hugo chavez's assassination? and really, for dividing up land? land that in no way represents biblical israel? you're telling me that God is punishing a man for working as a peacemaker? the Jesus Christ, whom robertson claims to be a follower of, said blessed are the peacemakers. not punished by God are the peacemakers. and even if i didn't think that robertson was wrong, has he never heard of tact? he alleges that sharon is his friend. really, that's how you speak of a friend in a coma? please never count me amongst your friends. if you truly believe that pat, why not wait until the crisis has passed to reflect?
i'm not surprised to hear that people are condemning these remarks. i'm glad to hear how widespread that call is.
pat robertson's God is very small. i am glad that mine is not.

Well said, Ed - his God is very small. As much as I seem to get annoyed everytime the poor fool opens his mouth, I really just feel sorry for him. Think of all he's missing out on (and all the people he's misleading) by not letting God out of the little cage he seems to keep Him in. Sad.
