Religious Right
Well, if we didn't have Pat Robertson, what would we have to talk about?
"Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice wichcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
(S0 THAT's what happened to me!! The lesbian part, not the killing children part.)
"It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-biased media and the homosexuals who want to destroy all Christians."
(Homosexuals want to destroy *all* Christians?? What about the homosexuals who ARE Christians? Tough choice there... to destroy myself or not to destroy myself... that is the question.)
"Many of those people involved in Adolf Hitler were Satanists, many were homosexuals - the two things seem to go together."
(There are so many things wrong with this statement, I'm not sure where to begin. A) Nazis were Christians. Satanists would have been strung up by their gonads. B) Nazis weren't homosexual - homosexuals were sent to concentration camps along with Communists, Jews, Gypsies and "intellectuals". C) I'm pretty sure that I'm homosexual and I'm pretty sure that I'm NOT a Satanist. So how exactly do those go together?)
"Communism was the brain-child of German-Jewish intellectuals."
(ummmm... no. Just... no.)
Robertson said in a letter on the CBN Web site that the [Supreme Court] ruling [that struck down a sodomy law in Texas] "has opened the door to homosexual marriage, bigamy, legalized prostitution and even incest."
(Well, I *hope* that it's opened the door to homosexual marriage - that's not a bad thing *grin*. Bigamy? Lessee... Christian Latter Day Saints pop to mind. Legalized prostitution? Good and bad to that, I suppose. Incest? I don't think that striking down a sodomy law in Texas is either going to make or stop a father from raping his daughter. I'm pretty sure that he's not going to all of a sudden go "Whoo hoo!! I now have permission to rape my daughter!!!")
"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war....We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," he said. "We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."
(Alrighty... I was watching Larry King last night and he had a Pat Robertson defender and a couple of people that were saying "he went waaaaaay over the line". Now the defender was saying "oh, well, he was speaking as a political pundit and political pundits say stuff like that all the time!" Well... no. If he's speaking on "The 700 Club" which runs on the CHRISTIAN BROADCASTING NETWORK, then anything he says has religious implications. If he's speaking on CNN on a political affairs show, THEN you can make the argument that he's speaking as a political pundit. Barring that, he's speaking as a religious leader. As such, I find it deeply disturbing that he wants "someone" to break one of the most important (to me) commandments: Thou shalt not kill.
Of course now he's saying that his remarks were taken out of context. "I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700 Club." I'm not sure how his remarks were taken out of context. "Take him out" seems pretty cut and dried to me.)
Pat Robertson and the rest of the "evangelicals" make my skin crawl. There hasn't been a one of them, except, ironically, Tammy Faye Baker, who I think actually lives according to the "love thy neighbour" stuff that's in the Bible. Of course, I can't listen to anyone who uses the Bible to justify anything. It's a book that's been cut by 2/3 and mistranslated all to hell. Who knows what was in there, what should be in there? Maybe homosexuals are the chosen ones.
(Most) churches suck.
