H.M.: you don’t have to worry about “other groups” giving Christianity a bad name, they do that all on their own quite well. You should go back and study the Spanish Inquisition and other “Christian” countries who have let the church run the countries and see just how destructive they have been running things God’s way and torturing people all in the name of their depraved God. Some of the most barbaric means of torture have been developed by the Christian church.Idiots like Pat Robertson just confirm what many of us already know. Christianity speaks with shredded, not forked tongue.

So this is all really a plan to make Christianity look bad?

Sort of like Limbaugh making the GOP bad, but not really, it is a plan of looking bad?

The grand plan is to have both fail, but really not fail, so now I get it!  Fox is really trying to make everything look bad! (or instead of bad, should one say stupid?)

So this means, they are really very smart?

Yes, one can bask in the rays emanating from the extensive voids between their ears! This seems so Genius, now I get it!

I don’t think anyone or thing need try to give chrisinsanity a bad
name, it does that well enough on its own.

““Their wise ones said ‘we might have their religion’ but when we
tried to understand it we found that there were too many kinds
of religions among white men for us to understand, and that
scarcely any two white men agreed which was the right one to
learn. This bothered us a good deal until we saw that the white
man did not take his religion any more seriously than he did his
laws, and that he kept both of them just behind him, like
helpers, to use when they might do him good in his dealings with
strangers. These are not our ways. We kept the laws we made
and lived our religion. We have never been able to understand
the white man, who fools nobody but himself.”“

Who wants to take bets that the solar eclipse Friday will be blamed on gays, pagans, witches,women’s rights groups and satanists by Pat Robertson also?

Here’s a link to a site where you can sign a petition and address a few choice words to Robertson:

What did I tell you?

sensefullperson - agreed, but what does that say about the two-thirds of Americans who believe in devils and the one-quarter who believe that 9/11 was prophesied in the Bible?  Robertson’s no fool.  He knows exactly on what side his bread is buttered.

Forgive him, and her. They know not what they do.

If only Poor Pat could follow his own demented logic.. what would become of the
United States?  We may not have made a pact with the Devil himself but we sure as
hell won independence in the Revolutionary War—- not to mention genocide of
the Native Americans & enslaving 50 million Africans.  But that was all ordained by
God right?  What a pious dumb ass!  I suppose we should go on over to Haiti and
chain everyone back up again.  That way they would be happy and free!  Why
doesn’t he just come out and speak his mind.  Those Niggers got what they
deserved.

Rev Robertson has now confirmed that not only does God speak directly to him, but Satan does as well.  (i.e. He claims first-hand knowledge of the pact between Haitians and Satan - must have come from Lucifer’s lips, right ?)
    I wonder if Pat can channel Sadam Hussein for us and locate Osama Bin Laden.

The Pat Robertsons of this world don’t scare me half as much as the MILLIONS of mindless, meddling morons who follow him.

Robertson gets only one vote. Mine cancels his.

But there’s little I can do about the MILLIONS who remind me of those big schools of little fish in the ocean who all dart and turn on some command that is invisible to us. I’m terrified there might be enough of “them” to take over the world.

How utterly stupid can one get? Why don’t you shut up Mr. Robertson?

only a nut job, pays attention to another nut job…

Mad?  Mentally Ill?

Robertson and Limbaugh seem to be quite rationally laughing all the way to the bank.

Hatred and Fear mongering is quite the money spinner.

Olbermann played Robertson’s (and Limbaugh’s) comments and then commented on both, of course. Unfortunately, Olbermann blasting them doesn’t stop terrorist terror-mongers from emission of noxious fumes. Which is not to put the matter strongly enough.

These individuals use “free speech” as their excuse. As do many others. But speech is limited, not only to not being allowed to yell “fire” in a crowded theater but also to not being allowed to encourage hatred for and then destruction of reason, both mental and physical.

Limbaugh ought be criminally charged by the local DA, or by the federal prosecutor for the district in which he lives. That he’s not already been charged is itself a curious thing. Anyway, no “free speech” leeway for any hate-monger bent only on destruction out of irrational mind.

As for Robertson, he’s long been quite mad, mentally ill. Obviously. Which is also not excuse for spewing hatred (in particular, given history, by allusion to any deity) if/when the psychotic doesn’t seek treatment for dissociation. Most particularly when the psychotic can readily afford treatment. If he or she won’t seek treatment, then those near to them ought have them committed for treatment. If they too refuse, then time for well-known law and order to stop by. Robertson’s not a lunatic who’s homeless on the streets, but a very wealthy psychotic loose on the public airwaves, which by law belong to we the people.

He too ought be criminally charged by local or federal prosecutor and then, after being found guilty (apparent to any reasonable person who might testify) of hate speech, mercifully sentenced to asylum for long-term treatment. Robertson is not only a danger to himself and to his kin, but to all of us.

History teems with spewers of irrational hatred who garnered power over time and then sought and carried out destruction of any humanity that refused submission to irrational belief systems. Espousing hatred founded in irrationalism that incorporates no fundamental morality is beyond the rather formalistic/legalistic problem of “free speech.”

Post-war Germany, just for instance, would put up with these criminals for as long as it took for police to arrive at their locations so as to remove them. Germany learned about these people the hard way, as did—or so one would have thought—the rest of the world by Pre-war Germany’s example.

Words really are powerful; they do sway impoverished minds. To dismiss hateful (particularly of the racist kind) words as so much “free speech” is a gross error for any society that by its rational human nature does incorporate an ethics that axiomatically, thus inherently, informs of Kant’s imperative.

There are rules, goddamnit, by virtue, if you will, of our shared humanity. (Law forbidding hate speech derives from certain rules.) Albeit, rules have long been broken by various interests who’ve long justified their ways of being who and what they are by ideologies that are by definition irrational but which appear rational in serving to paper-over offenses committed against all of humanity. (Capitalism, for instance, isn’t simply a lousy way of organizing a human economy, but it’s also and more fundamentally founded in the irrational, thus inhuman and thus immoral, exploitation of the many by the few. Most Haitians are excellent cases in point. Meanly exploited by us among others denizens of wealthier nations.)

Dragging away Limbaugh and Robertson, et al. won’t solve that problem, but when rules are so blatantly broken we might at least be done with the worst among us as they certainly immorally (psychotically or sociopathologically ill or not) seek only to terrorize and destruct.

Jeez, doesn’t anyone recognize msm bs when they see and hear
it. cowpatty robertson is a msm clown that has no relevancy in
this world and only when he is broadcast, even on this site,
there are enough vegetables in the msm’s well fertilized and
cultivated garden to grow even more by sucking up ole cowpatty
robertson’s fecal dribblings.

Or we live on an active planet.  Seems a bit more reasonable.

Pat Robertson clearly should be in a mental institution.  But at least he pointed out the gay teletubby.  Save us from Tinky Winky Pat!!!  And where can I send you more $$$$ to continue your holy crusade!!!  Clearly he is one of heaven’s devils.

“Man will never be free until the last king [politician?] is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”
(Denis Diderot)

Religion is based ... primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown, and partly ... the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear is the basis of the whole thing - fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand-in-hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can now begin a little to understand things, and a little to master them by the help of science, which has forced its way step by step against the Christian religion, against the Churches, and against the opposition of all the old precepts. Science can help us to get over this craven fear in which mankind has lived for so many generations. Science can teach us, and I think our own hearts can teach us, no longer to look round for imaginary supports, no longer to invent allies in the sky, but rather to look to our own efforts here below to make this world a fit place to live in, instead of the sort of place that the Churches in all these centuries have made it.

“... the more intense has been the religion of any period and the more profound has been the dogmatic belief, the greater has been the cruelty and the worse has been the state of affairs. In the so-called ages of faith, when men really did believe the Christian religion in all its completeness, there was the Inquisition, with its tortures; there were millions of unfortunate women burnt as witches; and there was every kind of cruelty practiced upon all sorts of people in the name of religion.
You find as you look round the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step towards the diminution of war, every step towards better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized Churches of the world…

“... the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

“...Men tend to have the beliefs their suit their passions. Cruel men believe in a cruel god and use their belief to excuse cruelty. Only kindly men believe in a kindly god, and they would be kindly in any case.”

(Bertrand Russell)

I do believe he meant Patan not Satan, and he would know. He has been the Devil within for many years now.

Isn’t this part of the same excuse this sorry-assed latent homosexual used when 9-11 happened? Seems to me is is as I saved the newspaper article with him blaming, gays, pagans, witches and satanists for that event.

BTW no offense to all of those who happen to be gay and or witches most of my friends are and I am really getting tired of them being blamed for all the ills of the world by these pseudo-christian boasters. Time for P.R. to get new ghost writers, perhaps Sarah Palins christian ghost writer needs a new assignment.

Maybe Hume was right!  It could be that this earthquake was directed at Tiger Woods but God missed Florida by a few miles and hit Haiti by mistake.

Self assigning imbicils, like Robertson and Limbaugh or many others to choose from, one realizes this world is doomed by the lowest common denominator.

What a lunatic. Why is this trash still tolerated on the airwaves? Aren’t we supposed to be an advanced country?
