Pat Roberston at it again - Watch out Dover, PA!
Pat Robertson had a special message for residents of Dover, Pa., today after voters there elected to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.


Robertson made the comment after Lee Webb of CBN News delivered a report on how residents in Dover voted in eight new Democratic board members, replacing all eight current members who had voted for a policy that required students in ninth-grade biology classes to hear a statement on intelligent design before hearing lessons on evolution. Webb then asked Robertson what he thought about the vote.

Here was Robertson's response.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there."

The new school board members have said that they are not against intelligent design, but that they just don't want it taught in science class.

Intelligent design backers have consistently argued that the teaching is purely scientific and has nothing to do with religion.

1. Jeebus!
That man has mastered the art of turning hysterical nonsense and narrow-minded hypocritical vomit into English.

It'd be more entertaining if he'd learn to rhyme it. It wouldn't have any more meaning, but it would be fun to read.

2. Can the world stop paying attention to Pat Robertson soon?
This guy is batshit-crazy, and everybody with a brain knows it. How on God's green earth did Pat Robertson get to have such a following? It makes me think there may not be a God at all :D

Clearly nonsense.

5. Robertson really needs to learn
to shut his blowhole. "Voted against God" indeed! Maybe God wants us all to be freethinkers and not live our lives in strict accordance to the doctrines of wankers like Pat Robertson. The scary thing is that so many folks still take this sphincter seriously.
If something happens to their town, don't turn to God for help,,.. hmm, well, so don't turn to God, don't turn to FEMA, ...guess they better start having some serious bake sales and carwashes!

10. He thinks he's the Don Corleone of Christianity...
....
if you had come to me as a friend, you could be rejoicing that the hurricanes have made others suffer. If you came to me as a friend.
If you had come to me as a friend, and not tried to kick God out of the city, the heathens would be suffering the hurricanes' wrath this very day.

24. Just to be fair
It's not God's fault Bush and Robertson are idiots, but's it's good proof against intelligent design.

I think God is ashamed of people that use his name for their own gain.
