The Shining Light of Christianity
Pat Robertson is once again spewing un-Christian garbage.
Pat Robertson is apologizing for another stupid remark. That remark is causing an international stir.
Describing the remark, the folks at Democracy for America said:
"The Bible tells us 'thou shall not kill.' We consider it a key value to live by. It's a shame that Rev. Pat Robertson, the self-appointed leader of America's so-called Christian right, does not.
Robertson's fatwah, calling for the assassination of the president of Venezuela...in the name of keeping access to a 'huge pool of oil'...exposed the warped values of many religious radicals with the ear of the president of the United States."
This is the same Pat Robertson that said gay people were responsible for the September 11 attacks. It's also the same Pat Robertson who makes millions off African diamond mines while claiming to minister to lost souls. It's the same Pat Robertson who regularly speaks in favor of the Iraq war and tougher immigration controls.
So, let's review. Thou shall not kill. Unless, of course, thou shall kill the leader of Venezuela, a Mexican immigrant, or an Iraqi. Therefore, thou shall not kill all who are not brown-skinned.
Thanks for clearing that up, Pat.
