DO YOU FEAR THIS MAN ?? YOU SHOULD !!


Evangelical leaders said Friday that they were embarrassed and incensed by televangelist Pat Robertson's assertion that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who had suffered a massive stroke, was stricken by God as punishment for ceding the Gaza Strip and a portion of the West Bank to Palestinians last summer. "I'm appalled that Pat Robertson would make such statements. He ought to know better," said Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest U. S. Protestant denomination. "The arrogance of the statement shocks me almost as much as the insensitivity of it," Land said. We've all heard how "power corrupts," and apparently it is the brain that is corrupted. It's sad how some men of God come to believe they are God. Posted by Picasa

Arthur, General Honore ("Don't get stuck on stupid") might have something pithy to add about Mr. Robertson's outlandish remarks.

I would appreciate it if you could explain that to me like I'm a four-year old ??

Arthur, I was just speculating that 1st Army Gen. Russell Honore, New Orleans post-Katrina hero (and author of the quip, "Don't get stuck on stupid,") might be the wordsmith of choice to coin a terse comment on Robertson's silly idea that God was punishing Prime Minister Sharon.

Thank you, Richard.
