Pat Robertson Warns Pa. Town of Disaster

20 minutes ago

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.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."

Eight families had sued the district, claiming the policy violates the constitutional separation of church and state. The federal trial concluded days before Tuesday's election, but no ruling has been issued.

Later Thursday, Robertson issued a statement saying he was simply trying to point out that "our spiritual actions have consequences."

"God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever," Robertson said. "If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

Robertson made headlines this summer when he called on his daily show for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Pat Robertson isn't the only person who doesn't know how to shut their mouth. :roll:
 
Sheesh, these sorts of comments are incredibly irresponsible, especially from someone who is supposed to carry so great a responsibility as the ministry.
 
That guy really gets under my skin.... the funny part of it is, I actually watched the 700 club one day for about 10 minutes before I realized it was a religious program. I thought it was just some regular newscast, and I was waiting to hear the weather.... I had to change the channel before I went ballistic....
 
For a religious leader to call for the death of a nation's president like that? That is hypocritical. If Pat Robertson wasn't a religious leader, it wouldn't matter as much. Pat Robertson needs to stay out of politics.
