God’s On Line Two
Author: Ed Naha Source: Atlantic Free Press (Netherlands)
Title: GOD’S ON LINE TWO
I have nothing against religion. Since the dawn of time, humans have found solace and strength by acknowledging the existence of beings beyond their kind; the sun god, the moon goddess, Zeus, Yahweh, Jesus. I, myself, was raised in the Catholic faith. And, basically, religion is all about faith. Faith in things we cannot comprehend.
It does strike me as odd, however, that Christians seem to have a lock on communicating with the Supreme Being. Very seldom is Buddha’s face found on a taco. Statues of Krishna don’t cry in public. (As a child, I was told that a relative had actually seen Saint Theresa’s face in a bowl of Jell-O. My first reaction? What flavor? My second? Where do you put the Reddi-Wip?)
Which, somehow, brings us to televangelist Pat Robertson, one of the few folks who, apparently, has God on his speed-dial and doesn’t care about food.

I can't help but be reminded of the old story of the Pope calling the cardinals togehter for an emergency session. He says I have good news and bad news. They ask for the good news first and he answers "I just had direct communication with God" The cardinals all say that is wonderful what could possibly be the bad news, and he says, "He was calling from Salt Lake City."

| He Needs To Leave Divining To The Experts... | Jan 11th. at 9:31:55 pm EST

I used to work a unit where people talked to god every day, until their medication kicked in and they felt better.
If he's so chummy with the supposed almighty-one would think his predicting would be at least a tad better- but it isn't. He really doesn't have the skill for that- or much else it would appear, which is probably why he chose his "calling"in the first place. And he needs to be told to stop pretending to be a prophet. It gives the real ones a bad name- and the rest of us a headache watching him preen and strut on stage like the idiot he is.
As the Mythbusters are fond of saying-- I'd consider his prophetmongering-busted.

| PATootie Proves Himself | Jan 11th. at 5:35:09 pm EST

Think about this...each time this big PATootie comes up with another "prophecy" he proves:
A) what a fraud he is
B) that he hasn't read his own bible
C) that those who believe him don't read their bibles, either
According to my pal the Christian (he's one of those rare types who actually reads his bible and lives to make himself a better person rather than trying to tell everyone else how to live) , the bible is very specific on how to ID false prophets. If ANYTHING they say doesn't come true, they're fakes. Methinks that if ol' Patso had actually opened his King James at any point, he might've stumbled across the 'how to ID false prophets' stuff.

It's not Pat Robertson that is the problem...every town has its crazy...the problem is really with all those folks that take Pat Robertson seriously; you know the ones that think he's a genius, a man of gawd, a righteous dude. You know who those folks are - Pat calls them his army...The Children of the Light...The Army of the Light...The ones who think Pat's idea of another crusade...I mean the spreading of Pat's word, shucks God's word, is what they have been called to do...well that and to sharpen their swords...so that they can lay the word of god upside your head...
Pat told them so...and they believe him...

Look at it like this: If the day ends in a "y," you can bet Pat Robertson forgot his Alzheimer's medication. I have the Brooklyn Bridge on sale for just over a grand for anyone who actually believes his insane crap.

Pat Robertson will say something stupid, at least once, probably 4 or 5 times, but no more than 100 times, during 2007. I also predict somebody will find the face of God, Jesus, or a minor saint in a food item or mold on a wall.

the God and Goddess every day. I see them when I look out my window or walk through a park. I get a visit every time the squirrel comes to the front window and begs for a peanut. And when I listen really, really carefully, I hear them whisper to me that Pat Robinson needs some new medication!
