Funny, CBN & Pat Robertson
have nothing on their websites in regards to the disaster in the Indian Ocean.

Pat has nothing on his news summary page http://www.patrobertson.com/NewsCommentary/

and CBN http://www.cbn.com/index.asp has the AP Wire on their front page but nothing else.


You would think that the richest and biggest christian organizations in the US would notice that there is a major disastor going on? That they would at least post something to acknowledge the event and give their followers information about what they could do to help? I guess gay marriage destroying our society is much more important at the moment?

3. Pat Robertsonn has always been about collecting personal power and
wealth than any kind of charitable giving. This is not a surprise at all.

4. as soon as Robertson figures out how to PROFIT
off the disaster, his fund-raising machine will go into gear. in the meantime, silence from that swine is welcome.

5. They're just conserving that compassion.
They don't want it to run out.

6. Knowing ol' Pat Robertson...
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 10:23 AM by Julius Civitatus
...he doesn't give a shit because a/ they aren't white Xtians, and b/ there's nothing in there for him, like diamond mines and such.

I expect him and his pal Falwell to come out any day now and tell us that god had to kill all these people because of gay marriage in Massachusetts, or some other medieval crap. Or they may even spin it as a sign of the second coming of Jesus, since they are obsessed with the rapture and other apocalyptic fantasies.

These tele-evangelists are nothing but con artists.

7. The Christian church is no longer involved in charity.
They are to busy with political activism.
