VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.

All eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for re-election were defeated Tuesday after trying to introduce "intelligent design" - the belief that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power - as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

He just won't go away!

Well, either he really believes that God is working through him or he's a complete idiot

Sheesh, the more I read about this guy, the less respect I have for him.

Why does Pat Robertson keep talking???



Because people keep listening to him!!! Because there are people that believe this crud.

Because he really isn't about God... He's about himself.

He likes to hear the sound of his own voice.

I just pray that nothing DOES happen in Dover.... I'd hate a fluke occurence to be attributed to that "prophet" :

You mean because he lies yet claims to be a christian?

Wow, that sounds far too similar to another president...

Everyone lies. That's not basis for judging his faith. I mean because he likes to hear himself talk obviously. LOL But then that's jumping the gun on what really motivates him. To be honest, I have no idea what motivates him and will not hazard a guess either.

I usually avoid organizations that Pat Robertson have ties to because he is not the only one. So, it is best not to listen to him or anyone he has connections with.

we were told that wolves would come in sheeps clothing.

Jimmy the Swaggart.
Benny the Hinn.
Pat the Robertson (Ok... that one doesn't fit as well. lol)

we have to watch who we listen to.

 

[intricatic]

I'm so glad I don't watch television anymore!

 

[BishopGodsey]

I don't recall ever watching more than 5 minutes of his shows before changing the channel.

I just don't watch television anymore at all really, sometimes I watch movies though.

I don't watch t.v either - Might watch the news from time to to time, but I've been busy reading most of C.S Lewis' Christian writings

Much more interesting and truthful than this PR!

He was a brilliant writer.

Pat Robertson has a long history of speaking for God when what follows made it pretty clear that God didn't speak to him about it at all.

However, he is having more and more "problems" lately. If you watch his show, I believe he is in failing mental health, that we are seeing the effects of senility or some such mental decline. I saw them showing some kitchen gadgets one day and he started kind of playing with them, it was quite clearly evident that things like can openers are kind of beyond his abilities at this point.

I would hope that either he or those others involved would remove him from making more appearances in order to avoid him continuing to say embarrassing things, but I fear that won't happen for awhile yet.

The best we can do for now when these incidents come up is to explain that Robertson is not acting properly and call for him to step down. If the donations dried up, he would be gone in a flash. Even if that is a ministry that people want to support, I would hope they would withold for a time and make it clear that it is time for him to quit.

There comes a time for all of us to step down, I believe Robertson's was awhile ago.

the only news i watch is comedy centrals daily show and that colbert report show lol. its funny yet truthful

I agree Norsk. He's in his 70's and I'm not saying that he's senile, because I don't believe that he is, but he does speak before thinking.

That said, he prayed away a hurricane that spared Va. Beach and went on to trash Massachusetts.

You know... I am not as incensed by this as some of you others. It's not like the man has any POWER to bring a natural disaster on or like he can incite somebody to cause one. The voters of Dover, PA exercised their constitutional rights, and all of us have a constitutional right to exercise our freedom and prerogative to comment on their preference for worldly philosophies and public popularity.

Amen!
