Amethyst Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Televangelist Robertson warns town of God's wrath I wish people like him would suddenly wake up without vocal chords and be unable to speak. No other harm done, just be unable to speak, permanently. Maybe then they'll get the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texmex2003 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 God's judgement and wrath will be upon Dove, Pa, for the sinful atrocity of voting out a school board that put Intelligent Design in the science class. Hurricanes, terrorist attacks, floods, natural disasters galore are to come upon these dreadful people. Televangelist Robertson warns town of God's wrath By Alan Elsner 2 hours, 22 minutes ago WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them on Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck. Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate and founder of the influential conservative Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Coalition, has a long record of similar apocalyptic warnings and provocative statements. Last summer, he hit the headlines by calling for the assassination of leftist Venezuelan Present Hugo Chavez, one of President George W. Bush's most vocal international critics. "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," Robertson said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club." "And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said. The 700 Club claims a daily audience of around one million. It is also broadcast around the world translated into more than 70 languages. In voting on Tuesday, all eight Dover, Pennsylvania, school board members up for re-election lost their seats after trying to introduce "intelligent design" to high school science students as an alternative to the theory of evolution. Adherents of intelligent design argue that certain forms in nature are too complex to have evolved through natural selection and must have been created by a "designer." Opponents say it is the latest attempt by conservatives to introduce religion into the school science curriculum. The Dover case sparked a trial in federal court that gained nationwide attention after the school board was sued by parents backed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The board ordered schools to read students a short statement in biology classes informing them that the theory of evolution is not established fact and that gaps exist in it. The statement mentioned intelligent design as an alternate theory and recommended students read a book that explained the theory further. A decision in the case is expected before the end of the year. In 1998, Robertson warned the city of Orlando, Florida that it risked hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorist bombs after it allowed homosexual organizations to put up rainbow flags in support of sexual diversity.

texmex2003 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I say kudos to these people of Dover, Pa. They took control and showed this school board who was in control of their kids education. Religious tenets should be taught in the home or church. Not government ran schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texmex2003 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I still wonder what graet and horrible sin my neighbors down the interstate did. Oklahoma City has been hit by a terrorist bomb, 2 tornados, one being the strongest ever recorded on the face of the earth, in just a few years. Lets not forget the the total death toll for all these events is approximately 200, property damage in the billions alone. If natural disasters and terrorist attacks are the vengence of god, like Pat and his cohorts state, What has OKC done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInPA Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Most of the members of my wife's church (which I still go to just to keep peace) are residents of Dover school district. Only once have I heard any of them comment one way or the other. The subject came up a few weeks ago while playing tennis with some of the guys and I said that there probably wouldn't be an issue if ID was mentioned somewhere other than science class. One of the believers promptly said "Well that's where it belongs!" At that point I knew that rational discussion was futile, so I let it go. The local people have been rather silent on this, other than the occasional letters to the editor of newspapers, and they have been pretty much evenly split on the issue. But the voters seem to have spoken loud and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 When Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin in 1974, some of our wowsers (fundys like Robertson) said it was God's vengeance because Darwin was (and still is) a hard drinking and hard playing town. Gawd don't like sex nor grog, see? Wonder what he does with his time? However according to our wowsers it wasn't just the booze and the boobs. Oh no! God especially didn't like Darwin because it had been renamed after Charles Darwin, the arch-fiend himself! They forgot however, before that it had been named after the English Prime Minister Palmerston. This man was responsible for forcing the Chinese to accept opium as a commodity in their country, quite possibly as a means of enslaving the people via addiction to the stuff. He thus laid the foundations of the international drug trade. Our wowsers don't like it when facts like this are pointed out to them, but I suppose that comes as no surprise.

Gawd don't like sex nor grog, see? Wonder what he does with his time? Why, he brews up natural disasters to strike down people with! Oh, and lets people die from illnesses, no matter how much they or their friends and families pray. Must be a fun job. Wonder how much he gets paid.

nirrti Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Hey! If Pat Robertson keeps blackmailing people into believing God's going to bring his wrath down on them, isn't that a terrorist threat by proxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
