The Wrath of Pat

I see where God's personal assassin on Earth, Pat Robertson, is at it again.

Pat's called down the wrath of God (and of Pat) on the town of Dover, PA, because they voted out eight school board members who were insistant on forcing 'Intelligent Design' to be taught as part of the school's science curriculum. It's not science, folks. It's just not.

According to CBS News (among others)

(CBS/AP) Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.

All eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for re-election were defeated Tuesday after trying to introduce "intelligent design" -- the belief that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power -- as an alternative to the theory of evolution.

"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 the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."

Nice to know that Pat has such a personal relationship with the Almighty that he's privvy to the Lord's various smiting of towns and people who offend Him. It's amazing just who He choses to be His spokesman on Earth. You'd think God could find someone with just a little bit more credibility than Pat Robertson, who's becoming a laughingstock both of the secular and the Christian camps

If you remember, Pat's called for assassination and nuclear action in recent months to carry out God's plan here on Earth.

Robertson made headlines this summer when he called on his daily show for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

In October 2003, he suggested that the State Department be blown up with a nuclear device. He has also said that feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Guess Pat's latest action pretty well puts to rest the fantasy that 'Intelligent Design' is something other than forcing the teaching Christianity back into our schools.

I mean, after all, if God's gonna smite us for NOT teaching it, what else can it be?

Thanks, Pat, for clearing that up. (And if you get any other advance information about impending Almighty smitings, please be sure to keep us informed, Pat, won't you?)

It's this type of garbage that makes me slightly embarrassed to be a Christian.

And so it goes.
