What A Dumbass

Here's another example of religion getting stupidly involved in politics. Today Pat Robertson suggested that the prime minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, brought his stroke on himself by making god angry. What a stupid thing to say. I know people who truely believe that their physical illnesses are caused by guilt from sin. This is exactly how religion can be dangerous. When medical problems are ignored or simply prayed about, the condition can become gravely severe. Even if I were a religious person, I would believe that god gave us medical science for a reason.

The justification for Pat Robertson's statements came from the old testament - something to do about dividing god's land. I thought that the christian dogma states that the old testament's laws were nullified by the resurrection of the christ. If we still lived by the laws in the old testament it would be a very scary world. Read this.

Anyway this holier-than-thou jesus pimp named Robertson has seriously embarrassed himself in my eyes. He sells religion and makes a real good living doing it, so I suggest he stick with that and stay out of politics. Anyone who watches his 700club television show will soon realize what a fanatical kook this guy really is, and anyone who buys into it is worse because it indicates a weak mind and a low self-esteem.

My favorite 'Bushism' from the above website:

"Neither in French nor in English nor in Mexican." - George W. Bush Declining to answer reporters' questions at the Summit of the Americas, Quebec City, Canada, April 21, 2001
