Spin Dry

Okay, Pat Robertson is not an adult. He's an addled six year-old who believes in fairy tales and myths, and someone should take his pulpit away from him, fast. Every time he opens his mouth lately, all he achieves is embarrassing that proportion of Christians who are actually good people. You know -- the ones who believe all that love and peace stuff from Jesus, instead of all that "convert, conquer, destroy" crap of the wingnuts.

Pat Robertson is the Osama bin Laden of Christianity. Just as good Muslims are probably embarrassed and outraged every time bin Laden makes some pronouncement about the Satanic West, good Christians must do the same with Robertson.

And here's his latest warning:

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design."

Two words, Patty boy. Eat. Me.

He says something later in his screed which is telling:

"God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever," Robertson said. "If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

First, if your god is so damn tolerant and loving, then why is he so vengeful? And, second, why not call on Charles Darwin? He's just as likely to appear in the middle of Dover, PA, and do something as your god is. But, of course, it just begs the question -- is Robertson implying that his loving and tolerant god is in the business of fucking with people because of how they vote? If that's the case, well, think about it. It means that his god is not all-good, but is also part evil. And, given the absolutes applied to descriptions of this god person, it means that he's got to be both all-evil and all-good.

So, in short -- Pat Robertson is saying that his god is evil. Think about it. This is the god that the fundies said was going to destroy Orlando, Florida, because Disney World had a gay day. It's the god who was going to have a 900 Hundred foot Jesus stomp on Billy Graham (or was it Jerry Falwell? Or Oral Roberts?) if they didn't collect a certain amount of money by a certain date.

In other words... why does this raving fuckwit even get airtime anymore? He's an idiot, a moron, a drivelling fool who spews bullshit with every breath. I'm not sure what century he's living in, but it's not the 21st. The School Board in Dover were being total dipshits, and the voters took action. In my book, that's a good thing.

Sigh. If only we could have a worldwide referendum, in order to vote fundie jerkwads like Robertson off the planet. Hey, I'd pony up for the pay-per-view to watch his ass being launched into space on a one-way trip, tied to the hull of a Russian rocket...
