God, Threats, Taxes, and Pat Robertson (More on the death threat from Pat Robertson)
Remember about a month ago when it was reported that Pat Robertson had threatened to kill Phillip Busch, the man who is suing him over his “Age-Defying Shake”? Well, Robertson now denies threatening him, though he does admit that he warned Busch that God was going to punish him:

The evangelist's remarks were made off the record, before a court reporter and videographer began recording the proceedings. But a transcript of the deposition includes a discussion about what he said.

Busch, acting as his own attorney, asked to speak with U.S. Magistrate Judge James Bradberry "concerning Mr. Robertson's comments when he came in here, his off-the-record comments to me, which I perceive to be a threat against my life."

Robertson: "It's not a federal crime to invoke God's power, and that's all I was doing.... There was no threat against your life, and I certainly didn't mention your family.... You are delusional."

Yep, that's right, God is apparently a thug with divine powers who Pat Robertson hires to destroy people he doesn't like.

4. interesting concept
I had no idea that we could summon God to go around capping people we don't like. Who knew we had our own divine hit man ready to do our bidding?

5. Why oh why
is this egotistical, delusional blowhard considered someone of leadership in our society? It makes one wonder about the psychological condition of the fundies who blindly support him and his so-called ministry.
