It must be in here somewhere, but darned if I can find it - the single, powerful Bible verse that would explain everything today.

For a couple of hours now, I've been scouring my New Testament, looking for the part where Jesus says we should send out hit squads to assassinate foreign political leaders.

How pro-life is that? Only killing people who are already born? Perhaps there's some special exception in the Bible for Latin American presidents who displease Washington!

It's tempting to dismiss Pat Robertson as some minor figure on evangelism's fringe, writhing in the dirt of some snake-charming revival tent. Tempting but impossible. Despite a vivid history of vicious exhortations, he's still one of America's most influential clergymen, sitting atop a powerful media empire and a lucrative fundraising machine, the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Be sure to check the link it contains lots of other tasty Robertson quotes at the end of the story...

1. another great Robertson quote...

Gay Day at Disney World would bring "terrorist bombs ... earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

7. It's the movie "Armageddon" just because gay people like myself...

wants to go to Epcot???

Just try to find the logic in that quote.

2. Spelling police here to issue a citation:

That would be: "prophet"....although Ayatollah Robertson certainly knows about 'profits' too.

:hi:

3. thanks... maybe thats why no one came to visit

I am sloppy sometimes. Actually most of the time. :hi:

5. I thought maybe it was a play on words!

obviously that's all Robberson's world is about...profit.

9. nothing false about his profits unfortunately

4. I remember Robertson's heyday in the 80s

It was a dark time, kids. Imagine being in high school while the "moral majority" was running around? We used to chuckle about him and "just say no" while we got stoned :)

6. Hee hee, too cool!

I graduated in '84, maybe I missed all that Moral Majority nonsense.

8. '83 here

:hi:

10. John 8:44 seems to explain Robertson & the BFEE quite well

It provides no Biblical basis for their actions, but rather, condemns them in no uncertain terms. It seems apropos of Bush most of all.
