Here's all I gots to say about the "Rev." Pat Robertson.

In Flannery O'Connor's novel Wise Blood, the main character, Hazel Motes, is on a quest to start the Church of Christ Without Christ. What I want to start is the Church of Christ Without Christians.

In recent months I've taken to paraphrasing Randall from Clerks: "This religion would be great if it weren't for all the fucking Christians."

Word.

Well, Kelly, you shouldn't over react that way. After all, his comments were TOTALLY taken out of context. (http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/24/robertson.chavez/index.html?section=cnn_latest) Like, when he said that it'd just be easier to have him out of the way? He meant that Pres. Chavez should just, like, move to Peru. Or something.

The point is: God has told Pat to cover his ass and apologize after fumbling an attempt to deny what he said apologize, and we should all respect what God has told Pat to do.

Wink emoticon implied.

I don't believe in Hell...

No, no, see:

it's like this.

You're a Christian.

All the people who feel the same as you spiritually are Christians.

Moron man? He's a Christianist. That's right. A terrorist who pretends that being Christian lets him off the hook for his behaviour.

Amen to that. (Pagan. Non-ironic anyway.) When you start it, I'll invite my bondmate.

He is not Christian. A real Christian would not go around advocating assassinations of world leaders s/he did not agree with.

I think he missed that stuff about "love thy neighbor" and especially the part about "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

I love Religions.

But you hate the Religious.

I know. Isn't that ironic?

He pissed me off on several levels.

As a person who has reeeally come to despise the embarassment the so-called Religious-Right ("Right" even when they're dead-wrong) has brought upon Christians and non-Christian people of faith, Robertson has shown his true colours. He's no better than the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, he's not even as fashionable as the Spanish Inquisition.

Second, since when is it Pat Robertson's place to decide who lives and who dies..and who does the killing?

I got one question for Pat Robertson.

"Do you want blood on YOUR lily-white hands, or would you rather hide behind your pulpit while some other poor bastard goes to hell FOR you?"

This is rather on topic, and a fun, if simple, way of looking at it. My boyfriend posted it up. I wish all these "Christians" would stop missing the whole point.

"Do you want blood on YOUR lily-white hands, or would you rather hide behind your pulpit while some other poor bastard goes to hell FOR you?"

Yeah, I kinda wondered that myself.

First of all, If youre gonna talk some big boy shit like saying someone's gotta die, then you'd better be ready to back it up. Not back down and be like "Oh I didnt mean it," like he's doing now. Grow a spine or something.
