Pat Robertson to Dover, PA. "Don't turn to God if you need help"

[RedEarth]

Robertson tells Dover, PA citizens, after the election: “Don’t turn to God if you need help”

On today’s 700 Club, Rev. Pat Robertson took the opportunity to strongly rebuke voters in Dover, PA who removed from office school board members who supported teaching faith-based “intelligent design” and instead elected Democrats who opposed bringing up the possibility of a Creator in the school system’s science curriculum.

Rev. Robertson warned the people of Dover that God might forsake the town because of the vote.

“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. 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.”

35. Fuck! My new Attorney General-elect got his law degree at this

sick fuck's "University"! :grr: :nuke:

[Jara sang]

59. Regent University

reading your post I started thinking about what that means. Regent means "One who rules during the minority, absence, or disability of a monarch." In this case the "monarch" would be Jesus. Pat Robertson thinks he is ruling in Jesus' absence. The man thinks he's a god.

[AspenRose]

61. Hmmm....there are other law schools with Christian heritage

that are higher tier (Regent is 4th tier last I checked).

Wonder if he still thinks he can litigate for God.

[swimboy]

65. And that means Cheney is the regent for disabled King George

in the kingdoms of this earth. :hide:

[RaleighNCDUer]

64. I thought it was not accredited.

Was that just a reasonable, though incorrect, assumption?

[FuzzySlippers]

74. Apparently, it is now.

http://www.abanet.org/legaled/approvedlawschools/alpha.html

Go figure.:shrug:

[swimboy]

91. You were both reasonable and incorrect. From the Regent website:

The Regent experience is a meeting of minds and spirit - the Holy Spirit. There is purpose and empowerment beyond the academic instruction. Our students understand the meaning of being called by Christ. Regent is also a place of rigorous debate and critical thought where students gain hands-on experience through our clinical and public interest programs, while the third-year practice program allows students to work on actual cases. In fact, one of the primary offices of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) is located on campus. Law students may obtain volunteer and paid positions to assist ACLJ staff attorneys involving pro-family and pro-liberty cases. Another area of interest to students is the International Law & Human Rights study in Strasbourg, France. The five-week program is taught by distinguished American scholars at the University of Strasbourg, and includes visits to the European Court for Human Rights and the Council of Europe.

Of the 187 ABA-accredited law schools, Regent's distinction is truly unique. Our curriculum seeks to fully integrate the study of law with biblical principles - all within a caring and nurturing environment that provides an exceptional legal education.

8. Pat should listen to his own advice.

[tk2kewl]

11. but i really would like to be next in line.

:D

[Canuckistanian]

5. So, Robertson is God's handler now?

Pitiful.

[Richard Steele]

42. When reached by phone for comment, GOD asked "Pat WHO?"

"PITIFUL" really is the only decent word that applies.

PITIFUL that anyone still listens to this
blatantly immoral con artist.

PITIFUL that anyone would so willfully ignore
all the information which saturates our society.

The only way ANYONE in the year 2005 could
regard Robertson as anything but badly-scripted "High Camp"
is to deliberately AVOID all other sources of information.
Especially avoiding that BIBLE, where JESUS says alot of
stuff about lying slimebags like Pat.

PITIFUL says it all.

[lakemonster11]

95. Here's to you, Reverend Robertson,

Jesus doesn't even watch your show!
No no no!
God's ticked at you, Reverend Robertson,
Heaven holds a place for those who pray you'll go away!
Hey hey hey!

9. 'Cause everyone knows, He's an angry god

especially if you have the audacity to disagree with his prophet, Pat Robertson. Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.

Yeah, right.

[ms liberty]

10. That man gets an express ticket to Hell...

and Jesus will be standing by to validate it personally.

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Maybe if they send money to the 800 club

...He'll see if he can put in a good word for them.

[durablend]

100. You mean the 666 Club

Cuz he's pure EVIL!!!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

102. He is when he extorts Social security cash out of those who feel

they're close to the end and think Robertson has the power to reserve them a space next to him in the afterlife.
It may be a warmer seat than they anticipated.

The lottery would be a safer waste of the food budget.

[atommom]

13. His God sounds like a petulant child ... much like Robertson himself.

[progressoid]

14. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

So, maybe god really did make man in his image; spiteful, angry and puerile.

[triguy46]

15. "Our god is a mean, vengeful, spiteful god...." n/t

[seejanerun]

16. I thought intelligent design was NOT a religious idea

It was a scientific one. Isn't that what they said?

The man who said Chavez should be assassinated doesn't know God from a hole in the ground.

[gaspee]

21. Just being

a good example for all of christiandom, like he says he is. Keep letting him hang himself. It's still pretty scary that so many americans follow him and people like him. They are the reason el jefe's numbers will never go lower than 25%. Scary, scary, scary.

23. fucking A - in Jesus's name

44. They don't call 'em Acts of God fer nuthin', you know....nt

[Clark2008]

54. Watch Dover prosper...

God probably will do something incredibly nice for Dover just to piss off Pat Robertson.

Seriously, I believe God has the best sense of humor imaginable. I mean, did you ever watch humans have sex?

:rofl:

[jackster]

25. so how does he explain Katrina, Rita and Wilma?

Maybe it's a sign that God(dess) is not very happy with Texas, Louisanna, Mississppi, Florida

all who voted for El Chimpo in the last election

oh well, to borrow from a rhyme from my children when they were young =

Lefties go to Mars to get more candy bars!
Righties go to Jupiter to get more stupider!

[thecodewarrior]

29. forget this nutcase, supreme leader of the whack job republicans

Like Coulter or Rove, he is just saying something stupid to steal the headlines off of Bush.

Keep your eye on the ball, don't get distracted by losers and jesus freaks.

45. Right on target, god punishing the red states for being red!

26. If my god was such a dick

I would change religions.

Unfuckingbelievable. Oh wait. I do believe it.

[Norquist Nemesis]

28. Sounds suspiciously like an Evangelists Fatwa there, Pat!

:scared:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

31. ANOTHER "Patwah"

I'm losing track of how many people he wants to kill.

40. i adore bugs bunny

well said.....

[Der Blaue Engel]

36. Hey, Pat: YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

If there is a God, he is not on your side. You make him sick.

I used to be a fundie. I read the Bible from cover to cover four times before I was 10. Nothing that you say has even the remotest relationship to the words of "God."

Get your damn money-changing table the hell out of the temple before Jesus kicks your ass, you monkey-fucker.

"I'm not saying they will, but if they do...." Gee, Pat...and we were going to make you King of the Winter Carnival.

:puke:

[eggman67]

76. Well said

Pesonally I excommunicated Crazy Pat for the Christian religion years ago... ;)

[KingFlorez]

37. God ain't no Republican

And he didn't tell you that, Pat. The voices in your head are not god. I just love to see them meltdown.

[flyarm]

38. hey pat old boy...how about the people of the south who got the shit

kicked out of them..and your god like poster idiot son child fucked over and let drown, starve and die of dehydration...so why didn't your god drop water bottles to them from the sky, to the people..your so called godlike idiot son forgot all about??? and ignored....

so really pat where was your god then???????????

i fucking hate your sick pathetic bullshit pat...

ohhh and do tell us PAT..how your god reacted when you called for murdering a democratically , twice elected president of a foreign country??


signed..fly

ps Pat..don't go standing under any trees during a lighting storm....i think my god is going to get your sorry ass!

[Ganja Ninja]

39. Watch out Dover!

Pat prayed for a death on the Supreme Court and God wacked Renquist. God is Pat's Doberman. Pat says "sic'em" and God bites'em on the ass.

[Vanje]

43. nominated and kicked

because Pat Robertson makes me laugh!

[Throckmorton]

46. Dear Apostate Heretic,

My church, The Roman Catholic Church, and the one true and holy church, says, Evolution is not inconsistent with the bible.

Burn in hell for all time Pat, you evil blasphemer.

[CTD]

47. Reason # 3257 I am an athiest

I will never understand why actual Christian leaders do not denounce this lunatic.

And, is it just me or do he and W look more and more alike as time goes by.

[Ron Green]

50. Hey, I'm a Christian (or at least I follow Christ), and I denounce

the HELL out of this guy. Although it's unseemly to do much denouncing if you're really trying to walk the path; I'm supposed to FORGIVE his sorry ass, but I'm just not there yet, LOL.

[Bill McBlueState]

57. me too!

One nice thing about being an atheist is that religious leaders don't get to tell me what to do, and I don't have to try to justify or apologize for their ridiculous anti-social behavior.

[Punkingal]

48. He is seriously deranged.

Using God to threaten people...:banghead:

[sandrakae]

49. They voted god out of the Science Class not out of their City.

His comments are ridiculous. This should not be taught in the Science class. I guess Pat does not realize because of this school board the district could lose over a million dollars. They violated the separation of Church and State. The district is being sued over this and could very well lose the case. That board had no right changing the curriculum. The science teachers are even upset. The new board said they will discuss this with the science teachers before making any decision.


Here is a link to reaction in Dover

Here is a link about the trial.

[CottonBear]

71. One of the members wanted "our children to have an offset to Evolution."

What the hell? "Offset?" That man cannot even speak correctly much less think correctly. :grr:
Good riddance to all eight of them. :grr:
<snip>
For current members of the Dover school board, the loss, is stunning.

David Napierskie:
"I think it's a sad day"

Last year the Dover board became the first in the nation to include a mention of Intelligent Design in science class. That brought a lawsuit by parents, who said Intelligent Design, was Creationism with a new name. Even after losing the election, board member Dave Napierskie defends the policy change.

Napierskie:
"I think the ultimate focus for the school board was to allow our children to have an offset to Evolution, and that offset was Intelligent Design"

[distantearlywarning]

51. I wonder what God thinks about Pat Robertson speaking on His behalf.

Perhaps this is what was meant by "Using His name in vain"?

[warrens]

52. God's too busy punishing Pat's red states

Hey Fuckface, time to get right with God ifn you don't want any more hurricanes, earthquakes or tornados.

[Jara sang]

53. This planet would be better off if Robertson had never existed.

I know people say it all the time, but I really am going to piss on his grave when he's dead. Hopefully that won't be too long from now.

[swimboy]

67. When the time comes, let's rent a bus.

[Old and In the Way]

56. Pat Robertson - Remaking God in his own image.

If he really believed in God, instead of the Republican Syndicate, he'd be the exact opposite of what he is. He's just a sucessful con artist who knows how to get suckers to part with their money.

[Kurovski]

63. Perfect.

He does indeed reveal the Republican political techniques of fear and threats.

"Youse don't pay, and yer legs could get broke..."

[FreedomAngel82]

58. He truly is insane

I love the guy Jim on Stephanie Miller's show and his impression's of Mister Chuckles. They pointed out the more evil Robertson is the more chuckly he gets. And why hasn't anything happened to him for threatning to assisinate Chavez? If this was any leftwing guy doing this they would've had something immediatley.

[Rainscents]

60. Oh Pat, You are in trouble, because you used God's name in Vain.

God said, he'll punish anyone who use his name in Vain.

Pat is a one very mentally sick man!

[IronLionZion]

62. Pat Robertson needs help

Money is his god so his life must be hell.

[Walt Starr]

66. Yeah right, and Pat predicted a hurricane would hit Orlando

because fo gay day at Disneyworld.

Pat Robem$ome is a false prophet.

[RandomKoolzip]

68. You know what's really funny here?

Read Robertson's words. Then substitue the word "government" for "God/He/Him," and you've basically got the conservative movement's M.O.

"Don't count on the government, because you just voted it out of your city. Don't ask for the government's help..." etc.

What this means is that conservatives are looking for a "Big Mother" nanny state just like they think liberals do, except their "nanny" is God/Jayzus. What do they think, that fuckin' God can build levees? Provide infrastructure? Disburse disability payments? Provide money for unemployment?

They criticize "big government," but think "big religion" is a viable substitute (especially when it mingles with "big business."). Guess which one is more effective when a crisis occurs?

[mmonk]

69. This god of Robertson's

has no confidence.

[Fox Mulder]

70. What kind of an all-loving God would that be, Pat...

if he didn't help people in a time of need?

A pretty shitty one, I must say.

Fucking idiot that Pat Roberson is. :puke:

[Nikki Stone1]

72. God hates Dover, PA? (Is Dover big enough to get God's attention?)

Pat Robertson is a bully,.

[Lindsey]

75. Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why, oh why, am I continually shocked regarding what comes of out this mentally ill man's mouth....and to think millions of people follow him...

[sellitman]

77. Shouldn't Ole pat loose his Tax exempt Status for PoliticN?

Just wondering out loud?

[wrate]

79. Talk about living in the Dark Ages! n/t

[FooFootheSnoo]

80. God to Pat

"Shut up before I smite the hell out of you."

[BulletproofLandshark]

81. Yep,just about time for God to

slap him upside his strangely oversized head and knock some sense into him. That people actually listen to and respect this modern-day money-changer is both frightening and depressing.

And just remember lurking freeps, there's only one degree of separation (Liberia's deposed Charles Taylor) between Pat Robertson and Al-Qaeda.

[Zenlitened]

83. But but but... ID is not about god and religion. I know because...

... that's what the IDers say, and they wouldn't lie, would they?

:rofl:

[Perky]

84. THis man is theologically unsound and apparently a bit of a loon

I just can not fathom why even folks who dare to call themselves fundamentists (in the theological sense, not the way we use it here on DU) continue to support this guy.

He is just stunningly out of his gourd on this one.

[YouthInAsia]

85. When is "god" gonna off Robertson??!

[Perky]

87. whe He is good and ready I suspect

I can't bring myself to pray for his demise...it jues would not be right. but Nonetheless.

[Walt Starr]

86. Pat Robem$ome is a RADICAL CLERIC

Mullah Robem$ome should be treated like any other terroristic cleric.

[aden_nak]

88. Because God only loves whose children that vote accordingly.

[NightOwwl]

89. Pat Robertson in 3 words:

Crazy batshit insane.

:crazy:

[Garbo 2004]

90. So old Pat mistake himself for an Ayatollah?

Is Pat declaring a Jihad on Dover? And on whose authority?

Sorry, you ain't got a hotline to anyone but your own greed and demagoguery, Pat. You're a fraud and a charlatan and a whited sepulchre too. Denying the merciful and loving God, eh Pat?

[in_cog_ni_to]

92. He's certifiable!

Anyone have a straight jacket?

He's NUTS!!!!

[Arkana]

93. What a whack job

He needs to fall into a pit of poisonous snakes.

[mitchum]

94. I will CELEBRATE that motherfucker's death

[Marr]

96. Thank goodness we have a man like Pat who can speak for god.

What an idiot.

[laylah]

97. He is SUCH

a bottom feeding freak from HELL! :puke:

Jenn

[durablend]

98. HOLY SHIT! I called it yesterday!

On another website I frequent, there was a thread about ID being chucked out of Dover PA and I flippantly said don't be surprised if Pat Robertson will put a curse on the state now

I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!! :wow: :wow: :wow:

As for you, Pat Robertson--BRING IT BITCH!!!!!!! WE'S READY FOR YOU!!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

99. God loves us all equally. Humans love themselves.

Would you want a God that wouldn't forgive you if you were genuinely sorry and had learned your lesson? No. That kind of continuity is demanded from God, isn't it.

If God were like people, you'd be afraid to trust God!

Part of my big problem with Creationism. The "fake" dinosaur bones, "fake" old light from distant stars, tests to see if you have faith. Tricks and deceipt are the nature of the devil, aren't they?

So why does the Bible say "Know them by their fruits", if God has satanistic characteristics?

[kwolf68]

101. Ted Kennedy is no different than Pat....

At least that is what a couple Wingnuts just explained to me. Yep folks...you heard it here.

I have challenged them to find ANY QUOTE that remotely resembles the quotes of Robertson.

[Joe Chi Minh]

103. Mr Robertson, Christians always need help, and they try to

always turn to God, if not for a complete solution to their problems, to pray that he will bless their own efforts. Christians need to be re-converted every day. We are pilgrims on this earth, and will be prone to sin as long as we live on this earth.

Read the following words of second-century author, and tremble:

"The Lord says:'My name is blasphemed among the Gentiles but woe to him through whom my name is blasphemed.' Why is it blasphemed? Because we do not practice what we preach. The pagans hear us proclaiming the word of God and they marvel at their beauty and nobility, but when they realise that we Christians do not live up to our principles, they begin to blaspheme and say that our religion is old wives' tales.

For instance they hear us telling them that God says:

'It is no thanks to you if you love those who love you, but it is thanks to you if you love your enemies and those who hate you.' They are amazed at the goodness and sublimity of what they hear, but when they watch us not only not loving our enemies but hating our friends into the bargain, they deride us and blaspheme God's name.

Do you not recall Christ's words when he replied to the question put to him by the apostles, James and John, "'Lord would you have us bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?' But he turned and rebuked them, 'You do not understand', he said, 'what spirit it is you share. The Son of Man has come to save men's lives, not to destroy them.'"

[Greybnk48]

104. Is God the new head of Fema??

what a viscious, hateful prig.

[moondust]

106. Billionaire Buffoon

Ain't capitalism great?!!

[librechik]

107. well God told me that Pat Robertson has a BLOCK on his phone #

they haven't spoken in years, and Pat must be making all that stuff up about God!

[DemGirl7]

108. This asshole never can keep his mouth shut

it's the same thing every couple of weeks,with our good buddy "Pat". It's like he wasn't born any sense of shame or even a conscience, and just continues to hang himself in the process. I can't stand him, and he make me want to :puke: but at the same time I feel pity, because it's depressing to see a mentally unstable people like Pat, not get any sort of help, which he clearly needs. May if we can all pray really hard tonight to make Pat disappear, we'll get lucky:D

[Initech]

109. Pat Robertson = anti-christ, false-prophet, and just plain fucking dumb

[fishwax]

110. typical robertson

asshole :puke:

[Nobody]

111. Who would want Robertson's god to

"help" them in any way shape or form? Robertson's god is vindictive, petty, and acts like a spoiled brat with not enough parental guidance.

Note to all Christians: your deity is not the one I just described. I think I just described Pat Robertson, and I think he's referring to himself.

[jbnow]

113. I asked God

about Intelligent Design.

He said that even if he got it all started he wants us to figure out the process he used, evolution. She said perhaps he made the stars but we study astronomy and perhaps she made plants but we study botany and so on.

Then she said if we credit her for creation then please just care for what was created, cherish the people and be guardians of the earth. He said that was what he needed from us, he didn't need the credit.

Then I asked about Pat Robertson. I'd like to tell you what he said but he was laughing so hard I couldn't understand him.

[WinkyDink]

114. Okey-doke!

Whatever you say, Pat!

[SillyGoose]

115. The American Taliban speaks again.

:puke:

[AzDar]

116. Wasn't it Gandhi who said" I would be a Christian, if it weren't for

the Christians I know" ?? Jeebus,Robertson is a hate-filled pusbag.

[long_green]

118. This statement needs to run 24/7 during the stretch run of...

the campaign to dump Sick Rick. If it helps to get Santorum out of the Senate, I might send Pat some money.

[Loge23]

120. Rot in hell, robertson

sooner the better

[deminks]

121. Hey, asswipe, who would Jesus turn away from God? Ever?

You are no minister of Christianity. You are a fraud. You are a heretic. Be gone.

[AnnieBW]

122. Uh... He Forgot

"And all who call upon God shall be saved."

I guess all of the people that died in Katrina, Rita, and Wilma weren't calling on God. Especially not the Catholic priest who refused to leave his Church in NOLA...

Asshole...

[arewenotdemo]

123. Well, Robertson's God ain't exactly the Prince of Peace

(from The Ruling Class)

Jack: "The form unfinished, sent before my time, into this breathing world. I'm cured of fantasy obsessions, paranoid delusions; I master words. I -- straighten up there -- am -- close up there, I, you are but a little word -- God. I am God. Not the god of love, but God Almighty. I massacred the Malachites and the seven nations of Canon. I hacked a god to pieces and blasted the barren fig tree for the day of vengeance is in my heart! Heh he huh. You lunar jackass. You betrayed you -- guilty, guilty, guilty -- the punishment is death. I've finally been processed, they made me adjust to modern times. This is 1888 isn't it? (bitter) I'm JacK! Cunning Jack, quiet Jack. Jack whose sword never sleeps. Hats off -- I'm Jack!!! Not the good shepherd.....not the prince of peace......I'm red jack, spring hill jack, jack from hell -- tradename? Jack the Ripper!!!!!!"
