Robertson says Charon's stroke due to God's wrath
Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for "dividing God's land."
"God considers this land to be his," Robertson said on his TV program "The 700 Club." "You read the Bible and he says `This is my land,' and for any prime minister of
Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, `No, this is mine.'"
Sharon, who ordered Israel's withdrawal from Gaza last year, suffered a severe stroke on Wednesday.
Sharon "was dividing God's land and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU (
European Union), the United Nations, or the United States of America," Robertson said.
In discussing what he said was God's insistence that Israel not be divided, Robertson also referred to the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, who had sought to achieve peace by giving land to the Palestinians. "It was a terrible thing that happened, but nevertheless he was dead," he said.
In August, Robertson suggested on "The 700 Club" that American agents should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has long been at odds with U.S. foreign policy.
There's the God's wrath 9/11 broadcast and the "don't call on God if there's a disaster" broadcast over Intelligent Design in Dover.

Re: Robertson says Charon's stroke due to God's wrath
Robertson is a joke that too many people take seriously. I can just imagine him listening to the morning traffic report...
"There's a backup at the downtown tunnel..."
"God's wrath!"
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Ha, Charon.
I could bore you with a philosophical tirade about freedom and tyranny, or try and explain to you what new horizons are suddenly open to me, but I doubt you would understand and if you did it might frighten you. That amuses me.

Was God's Judgment a press release or did She leak it ?

Oh Res, come now. Please don't defend Pat Robertson. I'm losing what little faith I had in you.

I guess this probably made Robertson ejaculate all over his Bible.

Chavez wasn't the first time. He and Falwell suggested murdering the members of the ACLU right after 9-11.

Unless hell is what Denis Leary says it is - Andy Gibb, singing Shadowdancing for eons and eons. And you have to wear orange plaid bellbottoms and sit next to the Bay City Rollers.
It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world.

Re: Robertson says Charon's stroke due to God's wrath
Yeah, if god really is as cruel and vain as Pat Robertson would like us to believe... I'd rather not worship him, even with proof of his existance.
