Weird Uncle Pat?
Does it seem more and more that Pat Robertson is turning into that odd older relative that comes to family events and says weird things that are unrelated to the conversation at hand. Perhaps he is gettting (has gotten) senile.
In response to the eight members of the Dover, PA School Board who were all voted out of office because a majority of the rest of the citizenry apparently had a problem with the teaching of Intellegent Design in the biology class along side the theory of Evolutions.
Pat's statement was "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city." I really think that the religious right in this country has gone completely over the edge. Basically, at least from my reading, Pat believes that G-D gave us free will to not express it when we are given the chance.
I do believe that G-D is active in the world, but I don't believe that G-D is going to harrass a city, kill it's resident, and otherwise cause the kinds of problems that Pat is talking about. At least not for this type of thing. Pat lunacy is beginning to get the best of him, either that or has worn himself out from steering hurricanes this summer/fall and by praying for the changes in the Supreme Court. Think about it getting hurricanes are rather large storms to control, and the constant imploring for a change in the Supreme Court's make up, without seeming whiney or needy, would be alot of work.
