God is mad as hell and isn’t gonna take it anymore. It seems the New York law allowing gay marriage was the straw that broke the deity’s back. We are about to experience His wrath ala Sodom and Gomorrah. Yup, hell fire and damnation for the entire nation is right around the corner.
And how do I know this? On Monday God sent a message to his spokesman Pat Robertson. Pat told us so during his 700 Club broadcast. The same place he touts his miracle muscle building elixir, declared the Haitian hurricane tragedy a result of a “deal with the devil”, and suggested we send hit men to kill Venezuela’s president. Here’s the link to the story: http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=8782&MediaType=1&Category=26
Usually I’d just laugh it off and wouldn’t give it another moments thought. Robertson’s buffoonery and past asinine claims have succeeded in placing him along side May 21st end times prophet Harold Camping on the shelf labeled “Religious Fanatics: death past due.” But this kind of social vindictiveness, this religiously induced homophobia, intolerance and denial of reality and biology has the effect of stirring the pot and igniting the ire of already ignorant religious drones. Drones who give fools like Robertson credence; who really believe the garbage spewed forth from his pie hole.
No. I can’t just ignore it. I’m getting seriously tired of religiously inspired stupidity. Secular stupidity is bad enough, but when shaken or stirred with a measure of supernaturalist delusion and self righteousness the annoyance factor is increased exponentially.
Look, Pat ... if you’re reading this do the civilized thinking world a favor: Go sell your crazy someplace else, this country is already overstocked with it. And perhaps a nice long dirt nap would do you some good. I know it would make my day.

Pat Robertson is a Prion.

That pretty much describes him ;)
ReplyDeleteOn the death of Reverend Jerry Falwell, Christopher Hitchens said famously:
ReplyDelete"If you gave [Jerry] Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox."
Pat Robertson is so full of shit I believe that the same could be said of him.
Dear Skydaddy: I have it from sources who claim to speak directly to you that you are pissed off at America about gay rights. I've read your bible and I understand that you have a penchant for smiting not those with whom you are displeased, but rather those around the offending party as a show of your power to the offending party. If you will smite Pat Robertson and Fred Phelps, I will see your might and will refrain from putting any "support gay rights" paraphernalia on my bumper. Amen.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that such a powerful being always leaves its communication and interpretation of its magically communicated words to beings that are flawed based on their own interpretations of its words...
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Robertson's words constitute a damnation on America for acknowledging civil rights for the LGBT community? And if so, where are the media howler monkeys to report this charlatan's trangression?
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall that when a certain Rev. Wright damned America for its racial past, the fundies and wingers were seriously displeased about it and determined that Mr. Obama was not fit to be president because he spent time in Rev. Wright's church.
Why is Robertson's damnation acceptable to the media but Wright's not?
Another one of life's unanswerable questions. /sarcasm/
Hello Hump,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading this posting. How so many religious loonies buy into this hokum crap being spewed out by Robertson is just so beyond my logical thinking mind set.
Keep up the good work my friend.
