Is it any wonder why any outspoken religious figure today is pretty much presumed to be a complete kook?

What I like is the Venezuelan site:

with the telling headline: 'Christian' Pat Robertson calls for the assassination of Venezuela's President Chavez

Note the emphasis on the quotes.

How much more is it going to take for so many of these freaks to be recognized for the inhumane, immoral creeps that they are? The guy says this on a religious program, of all things. American Taliban, anyone?

There are some who are calling for Muslims to help confront the problem of extremists in their midst who have perverted teachings to the point of terrorism. But if you take that argument seriously, you could easily say there's an equal argument for many Christians to equally confront people who profess to speak for their religious beliefs like this idiot.

Right, after the televised speech of "this idiot", the terrorists on the other side are still with us today and multiplying - NO??

And that's a reason to accept the idiocy of Robertson?

I'm sorry if I implied it from your response. So, if I'm not mistaken, you also oppose the dominionists in the US and the havoc they create (e.g. terrorist attacks on abortion clinics)?

@nferyn,

I'm sorry as well if i sounded a bit off there, lol. Please forgive me - pressure in my office.

In any event, I might have been misread, but the point was that two wrongs don't make any right.

@ stimulus,

You're right about that

cheers

Did you not know that Pat Robertson blamed pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians for 9/11. I dont take these guys seriously. They are only after their tithes from their gullible minded followers.
