Re: Robertson says Charon's stroke due to God's wrath
I mean I'm all for freedom of speech and all but aren't there exceptions for say... yelling fire in a crowded theater or telling people to assassinate someone?

Re: Robertson says Charon's stroke due to God's wrath
You'd think Pat would be a little more tactful considering the Israeli government is about to give up a large slice of land (evidently you can give God's land away to Christians, just not Muslims) for a biblical theme park by the Sea of Galilee to a consortium of Christian groups led by Robertson.

Oh - Israel gets a lot of money Robertson viewers.
All the time I see requests for money - to provide for homeless Jews, move Jews into Israel, etc. on TBN.

Interesting considering just 15 years ago he was accused of anti-Semitism in a book he wrote by the Anti-Defamation League.

Yeah, next you'll try and tell us that they're going to build an icon to American culture and consumerism, a Disneyland for example, somewhere in communist China.

Yes they are.
Read Paul - the Gentiles are grafted into the vine, the vine did not change.
Being chosen isn't enough - they still have to believe God, but that was always the case.

It's a double standard. If Pat was a Frenchman who said Bush should be assassinated, he'd be called a terrorist.
there's really no need for all of this

And that really creeps me out. I will never trust the motives of Pat Robertson when it comes to helping out jews. And thats because I know the only reason he does this is so that he can have all of us in the holy land for the apocoplapse, and he wants us then to convert or go to hell. The man doesn't really care about jews.

Nope! It's true.
Plans for Holy Land theme park on Galilee shore where Jesus fed the 5,000
The Israeli government is planning to give up a large slice of land to American Christian evangelicals to build a biblical theme park by the Sea of Galilee where Jesus is said to have walked on water and fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish.
A consortium of Christian groups, led by the television evangelist Pat Robertson, is in negotiation with the Israeli ministry of tourism and a deal is expected in the coming months. The project is expected to bring up to 1 million extra tourists a year but an undeclared benefit will be the cementing of a political alliance between the Israeli rightwing and the American Christian right.
However, the alliance has not been welcomed by all Israelis, including some who fear the ultimate aim of the evangelicals is the conversion of the Jews to Christianity rather than support for Israel.

I know. I checked last night and posted something about how the Book of Revelations must have left that out, but then my computer was updating itself so I had to restart....
Anyway, that's just stupid, sick and crazy, man. I guess it's great for the Israeli economy, but it's pretty blatant evidence that Pat Robertson is into Christianity for the money and not a damn thing else.
How in the hell are people in this day and age still gullible enough to believe a bunch of religious fairy-tale bullsmurf anyway?
