more genius from the great man:
"Controversial statements are not new to the 75-year-old Robertson.
He has suggested in the past that a meteor could strike Florida because of unofficial "Gay Days" at Disney World, and that feminism caused women to kill their children, practice witchcraft and become lesbians. "
that really is just laughable, this joker should be jeered off of the airwaves (if he didn't appeal to base biases and fears by offering legitimacy to feelings which are entirely misplaced).
still tho!

The secretary of defence, Donald Rumsfeld, said: "Our department doesn't do that kind of thing. It's against the law. We get the CIA to do it instead."
omg! That's how and why God killed the the dinosaurs! (That he previously created, Adam named in one day and Noah stuck on the Ark) Not because they couldn't worship and suck-up to him all the time, but because Joe and Steve Stegosaurus were caught snogging! And so the first Godly Meteor was dispatched...He has suggested in the past that a meteor could strike Florida because of unofficial "Gay Days" at Disney World
Hey, I've just read two different pages of complete guff, both authored by blokes called Pat. It must be a left-wing conspiracy. Or a message from God that I should judge all people called Pat based upon these incidents and pray for a meteor to come and sqaush them, or summat.

oh definitely. the world is the way they say it is and any evidence to the contrary is merely more proof. I love conspiracy mentality. Especially when its applied to groups who obviously are imminent threats to our safety- Jews, feminists, gays, intellectuals etc. etc.Best First wrote:femenists kill their children all the time, but the liberal media cover it up.
The fact that there is no evidence shows that there is a conspiracy from the left.
I'm surprised it took them so long to figure out the huge secret plan we have to turn all their children into homosexual israelites promoting women should get free college education!

a meteor?!Karl Lynch wrote: He has suggested in the past that a meteor could strike Florida because of unofficial "Gay Days" at Disney World, and that feminism caused women to kill their children, practice witchcraft and become lesbians.
woah, not holding back any punches there eh?
it'd be a pity that a meteor big enough to do that would probably devestate the rest of the US too...

If you kill all the people who disagree with you, you immediately obtain a worldwide acceptance of the "true" religion?Professor Smooth wrote:Why is it only Christians that seem to advocate violence and death against people different from themselves?
Or somesuch. I don't really care.
Christian advocates murder. He's going to hell then, isn't he? Silly man. Unless he gains absolution, of course. Which you just have to ask for.
Great system, ain't it?
Grrr. Argh.

Well, while I'm sure both of us would prefer neither, given the choice of some dip squawking on television so that folks like us can look on and make jokes to add a bit of levity, or someone making their statement among the crowd with a bomb strapped to their chest?
But yeah, neither would be the way to go.

See, the thing that really scares and bothers me about his comments is that people WOULD get behind them.
When you go and start a war for "freedom and democracy and freeing the people from a brutal dictator," then you basically can plop that excuse anywhere you please, from Iraq to Iran to Syria to Venezuela.
(Yes I know WMDs, but if you asked the average American who supports the war now, those are the reasons they would currently give you)

I'd still like to hear one reporter, just one singular press reporter, live on television at one of W's little on-air speaking-cluster****s ask him simply, "Mr. President," *allow for a few seconds of snickering over the fact, naturally*, "If you wouldn't mind sir, please, could you tell us how Jesus might feel about the killing in the name of freedom you're heading?"
Just once.

ignoring of course that xenophobes, homophobes and racists are a long way from being a monopoly of Chrisitians...Professor Smooth wrote:You mean the zealous Muslims that are advocating violence and death in order to make political statements?

I have no statistics. I know many people of many faiths and creeds who carry strongly negative/condemning views of various minorities. I'd guess that means Christians aren't the only ones who hate people because they're different, hence a long way from being a monopoly.Best First wrote:i think some of the radical muslim clerics use politics to persue exactky the same agenda to Robertrson to be honest Smooth.

Though this man while very right wing, he is clearly not a Christian.

People get tribal and they fear that which is different from them. Religion just makes it easier to justify because they have God on their side. Oh, and because Jesus was a straight white man from Oxford, obviously.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Bigotry isn't the exclusive property of Christians, Muslims, atheists, homosexuals, or mutants.

Funny right-wingers you have there... we are quite at a loss with them, care to export this guy? Can send lots of old bolsevics in return... We are crowded with those.
