“How long would it take before his actions and words were silenced?”

Jerry,
How long did it take before they killed MLK?

Polly Ester,

I love and appreciate your reply, but to explain further to all who may be witnessing…

How would THOSE who might believe in a return of Jesus, really know, trust and believe that it was indeed the being past? and.... as he became increasingly more of a social and material threat to the ruling powers of religion, greed, prejudice, racism etc....

How long would it take before his actions and words were silenced?

As all history has shown, If a King does not destroy or threaten destruction (in this world) he does not rule.

I haven’t experienced anyone definitly answering these two question.

“If Jesus returned to the Earth today, who would believe and how long would it take to kill him this time?”

Jerry,
Cute poem--my mom wrote poetry like that, to answer your question, today Jesus would be in a soup kitchen or at Gitmo--he would be fighting against injustice, just like he did in the past. He would consider the prosperity gospel an abomination.

This is a poem that was written by yours truly 35 years ago in frustration to the idea of Religious superiority.

RELIGION
ASA SATVA AKWAABA

RELIGION IS LIKE A WAGON WHEEL
WITH EVERY FAITH A SPOKE.
TRUE FAITH LIES IN THE HARMONY OF THE WHEEL
AND WEAKENS WHEN A SPOKE IS BROKE.
ON THE EDGE OF THE WHEEL, THERE LIES THE RIM
WHERE EVERY SPOKE IS ATTACHED.
A PATH CONNECTING ALL THE SPOKES.
MAKING ALL AN EQUAL MATCH.
FOR IF ONE SPOKE IS GREATER THAN THE REST
AND LIES ON THE RIM WITHIN.
THE BALANCE OF THE WHEEL WOULD NOT BE SOUND
AND DESTRUCTION WOULD THEN BEGIN.
AND TO THOSE WHO CLAIM THEIR SPOKES TO BE BEST,
TO THEM I SAY TAKE HEED.
FOR TO HAVE A WHEEL WITH ONLY ONE SPOKE
IS TO RISK DANGER INDEED.
BESIDES THE RIM AND THE SPOKES UPON
THERE ALSO LIES A CENTER.
IT’S HERE IN THE HUB, IN THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL
WHERE ALL THE SPOKES DO ENTER.
THE HUB IS LIKE THE FOCUS OF ALL,
THE WHOLE SHALL HAVE NO NAME.
BUT IN THAT HOLE ALL EXISTS
AND ALL SPOKES ARE
SEEN THE SAME.
PREACH NOT THE HUB FROM JUST ONE SPOKE
AND GIVE NOT THE REST A CALL.
FOR THE HUB IS ATTACHED TO NOT ONE SPOKE
THE HUB IS ATTACHED TO ALL.

A question for thought:

If Jesus returned to the Earth today, who would believe and how long would it take to kill him this time?

Open for comments.

I don’t want to be a Child of the God that gives Pat prophesy. And if HE had, what would that say about the available pool of messengers? Could the Bible be so very wrong concerning prognosticators, Pat?

Unique satire.

Pat Robertson is proof there is no GOD. If there is a GOD, would he/she/it/they waste their time talking to Pat, or Orel, or Jerry or George? And if he/she/it/they being the all-knowing, all-powerful being that we are told can’t make any better or accurate predictions than their spokes persons, then GOD doesn’t have any better credentials than you or I. Why all the shock and awe over a being who speaks stupid things through stupid people? Or else, dare it say it for fear of being struck by a lightning bolt?...there isn’t a GOD and these fools are just making it all up. And the rest of the fools are all believing it!

FYI: Although God probably created almost everything - I don’t think he could have brought a lightning bolt to the press conference, because lightning belongs to The God of Thunder (Gene Simmons of KISS)

Pat, go to hell.

Anyone who claims that “God” speaks to him is either a crook or a sucker.  The holy spirit is a presence or a tenderness.  It is not an advisor.

Pat’s warning must in fact be taken as a terrorist threat. Let’s lock him up.

I’m sure we all know what type of “proficy” Pat is interested in ! (pun intended)

ROFLMAO!

Apparently Pat has been reading too many of the astrology sites, both Eastern and Western. Granted, I follow them as well, and consider them accurate GUIDES. It’s true we have some planetary transits right now that are causing a great deal of global tension. And the Eastern philosophy, with its generations of experience, has a similar “prediction” but is more balanced with the coming “good luck” areas for 2007 ...

One very important “good luck” forecast by the Chinese astrologists is that all those ugly little secrets and tyrannical bulliies ... those who lie, cheat, and steal ...

will be exposed! for what they are.

Now, isn’t that something positive to look forward to. Just expose them, don’t kill ‘em. Humiliation lasts a long time.

God said that he was losing face (if he really had a face) when Robertson used him to make more dollars to feed his mistress. God also promised that he will send Robertson to 18th stage of hell and he’ll live there forever, no way to be reborn as human being !

I really enjoyed that!  Thank you.  What arrogance and hubris Pat Robertson has.

So when is God, going to tell Pat to go to hell!

This I liked. Very funny. With all the obscene uses religion is put to it’s nice to see how a little gentle satire can bring back a bit of perspective.

Speaking of the televangelist, Pat Robertson: When is someone going to put him to sleep?

9/11 happened on Bush’s watch.  It was Bush’s fault. 

The mess in Iraq is no accident.  When bargaining with someone, like the Bush/Republicans are bargaining with Iraq for their oil, etc. you always bargain from a position of strength. 

It is necessary to keep Iraq in a big fouled up mess to insure the Bush/Republicans get the best deal they can from the Iraqis.

The price we’re paying in lost lives, wounded and dollars is inconsequential to the Bush/Republicans because they are not paying that price.  The American people are.  That’s another axiom of business...you always finance your undertakings with someone else’s money (time, work, money, lives, suffering, etc.).

So, when is God going to tell Pat to stop screwing his underage choir girls?

I think Pat may have God and the Devil confused. God wouldn’t bother with such a phoney friend of the world greedmeister. That is the devils department.

And also before ending his press conference, God said he would be taking a vacation; but he clarified by saying that when he vacations he goes to places that thrive on hate and death—-I’ll visit the Middle East, and stop at Iraq and Palestine, I’ll stop at Somalia and check out Ethiopia and Kenya—-I’ll make a pit stop at Darfur—-there is so much to see-- death and destruction is rampant, I guess you think, it’s unimaginable for a benevolent God to allow such devastation; but I’m not responsible for your mess—-so just remember that—-you’ve been given freedom to make a choice—-so don’t let con men, shamans, and holy men make the choices for you, and say it came from me—-Happy New Year.

If you are paying this guy anything for this crap, you are being ripped off.
Yawn...last time I waste anytime reading this guys boring stuff.

Headless

With all due respect to a man of the cloth, I don’t think there’s anything at all controversial about The Reverand Pat Robertson.  Andy should be careful.  God doesn’t take too kindly to mockery, the bible tells us.  Next thing you know, there’ll be hurricanes, blizzards, war, fires, murders, child molestations in churches, and majority upsets in congress, and we wouldn’t want any of that.

Thanks, Andy.  Nice to hear from God, too.

God is too busy to even begin to think of Pat Robertson, “he” still haven’t found time to prioritize the Iraq war.

However, after scoring an NFL touchdown, those guys seem to be speaking to someone as they point in a grateful gesture to the heavens.
