Robertson: "Sharon punished for dividing Israel"

[Oilwellian]

The Rev. Pat Robertson said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is being punished by God for dividing the Land of Israel. Robertson, speaking on the “700 Club” on Thursday, suggested Sharon, who is currently in an induced coma, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated by an Israeli extremist in 1995, were being treated with enmity by God for dividing Israel. “He was dividing God’s land,” Robertson said. “And I would say, Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations or the United States of America. God says, This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.”

1. Ariel Sharon is 77. This is hardly unexpected.

He's not being "treated with enmity." He's just near the end of his expected life span.

7. Of course....

Any sane person realizes that.

3. Good Lord,

doesn't he EVER just STFU in things like this? Can't he EVER give it a rest? He really must think he's God's appointed King of the World.

4. Robertson Has the Compasion of......

.............SATAN........................:evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :evilfrown: :evilgrin: :nuke:


I have stoped paying attention to what comes out of his moronic mouth......

5. My mother is a member of the Christian Coalition.

She's buying every damn word of this.

Oh god...someone give me a beer.

[leftstreet]

11. Can Mom give us an ETA on that Rapture thing?

:toast:

[Ladyhawk]

34. She's absolutely sure we're in the "last days"...but she's been sure

since circa, oh, 1975 or so.

[leftstreet]

35. LOL n/t

[Don Claybrook]

6. How is this dipshit any different than Fred Phelps

I'm not a fan of Ariel Sharon, but then again, I don't run off at the mouth about why God is punishing this person or that group or whatever.

Can someone give me the bible verse that states Israel belongs to God and it had better be left alone? Don't bother; I know it's not in the bible.

8. when Robertson gets a stroke/heartattack/cancer what shall we claim God

is pissed off at him for?

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Didn't he have some problem before?

:shrug:

[RaleighNCDUer]

26. Taking his name in vain. nt

[timber84]

9. When will he ever learn to shut the hell up?

[speedoo]

10. Pat Robertson is a fucking idiot.

Sometimes, he makes me ashamed to be a christian. Same with Dobson, Falwell, etc. etc.

[FreedomAngel82]

21. I know how you feel

:(

[rodeodance]

12. if you follow Pat's logic--the God will punish Bush also.

[rateyes]

13. I'm getting to the point where I pray...

that God punishes Pat Robertson for his asanine comments...

If God was handing out comas and strokes as punishment, Robertson would have been dead long ago--and would have died a slow, painful lingering death. What an asshole!

When it comes his time, what does he think--that he's going to "ascend" into heaven because he is so damned righteous. The more he talks, the better it is for the Democrats, that's for sure.

14. I Think Robertson Should Go Beyond That

and criticize Sharon and all other Israeli leaders for NOT carrying out God's commandment in Joshua to slaughter all the inhabits of Palestine including women, children, and animals.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. When Pat gets sick what will he be "being punished" for?

I thought the whole world belonged to God and all are his children.

Guess Pat and me hoist our prayers in different directions.

[Zenlitened]

16. Well, that's all part of Roberston's religious belief system.

We really shouldn't criticize him for his religious beliefs.

:crazy:

[FreedomAngel82]

17. I thought people like Robertson

didn't trust the UN? Now he likes them? :shrug:

[ucmike]

18. when robertson dies they'll say...

he was called back to god.

i guess those miners were killed for dividing coal from the earth????

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. So let me see if I get this right, Pat......

When Sharon was murdering hundreds of innocent civilians in Sabra, Shatilla, Jenin, etc that was perfectly fine with "God", but when he actually makes a move or two in the direction of peace and progress, "God" punishes him with a massive cerebral hemorrhage?

I don't know what God you speak for, Robertson, but the God I believe in said "Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS for they will be called the Children of God"

[Tsiyu]

22. Let's all visualize Pat wasting away, shall we?

We'll close our eyes like he does, real tight, and then just imagine crows and vultures pecking his flesh off his bones?

If you pray, pray for his "punishment" from Gawd. Gawd is awfully late with that one.....

[fooj]

23. Good God...Robertson's "God" is all about vengeance, huh?

Vengeful, hateful, spiteful, ruthless, angry, mean...wow!!! Doesn't that accurately describe "Satan"??? Hmmmmmmmmmm...

peace.

[FlaGranny]

24. Robertson can ALWAYS be relied upon to

come up with drivel.

[Norquist Nemesis]

25. He sure has an explanation for EVERYTHING!

What in the world will be the explanation when he kicks off?

[Itchinjim]

27. Would someone tell Pat to please just...

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

[Beelzebud]

28. You know how I know there is NO god?

Pat Robertson walks the Earth.

[mod mom]

30. Despicable!

[Scurrilous]

31. Rite of Pulsa Denura:

I wonder what these people have to say for themselves?

[undeterred]

32. Ah, to have direct access to the mind of God n/t

[monobrau]

33. I'm lovin' me some Pat R.

Thank the lord for Pat Robertson. As the fundies try to put a friendly face on their hateful anti-human facist agenda, we can always count on Pat to tell us what they are really all about.
