Oh, Mr. Robertson

I said before that Mike Savage was the dumbest ‘smart’ person, but maybe I was wrong. Step into the circle Pat Robertson, who recently told the world that Prime Minster Ariel Sharon´s stroke may have been God´s wrath for pulling out of the Gaza strip. After all, Mr. Robertson said, ¨God considers this land to be his.¨

Are you serious? Do you believe that land is essential to God? Isn´t it possible that God is just a bit beyond territorial land disputes that have plagued man throughout history? After all, didn’t God create the heavens and Earth, the infinite Universes and Gaxicies, but he is focused on  The Gaza Strip? Well, focus on that when it’s convenient to Pat because most other times God is concentrated in and watching over the United States.

There are 15 million aids orphans worldwide, and this is all you can talk about, Mr. Robertson? Oh, that´s right, Aids is God´s wrath too against gays, wasn´t that what you said once before?

And Katrina took out New Orleans because it was a city of sin?

It is sad to me that people can go through life as Mr. Robertson does, in such fear that God is always there, like a bad Catholic school teacher, to smack you down.

It seems like the only wrath here on Earth is the one we unleash on each other, and the greatest plagues are intolerance and narrow-mindedness of people such as Mr Robertson.
