WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck:

Looks like Pat can no longer ward off the effects of old age: he's becoming senile.

Here's something else he said:
feminism encourages women to "kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

It would be fairly funny if so many people weren't actually listening to him.

Between PeTA and Pat Robertson, I don't know who's more of an embarrassment to our area anymore!! Robertson's comments would almost be amusing were it not for the fact many people really to take him seriously. That's the scary part!

Have Pat Robertson ask God why HE keeps sending hurricanes to those red states.

You have PETA and Pat Robertson, but in Chicago we have the Cubs and Jesse Jackson. It's just as embarassing.

I can't imagine a worse disaster than having Pat Robertson visit.

One would think that Pat Robertson, wacko that he is, is the only Christian preacher in America. He's just trotted out for entertainment value.

Pat Robertson is not a Christian he is a fundamentalist, i.e. a satanist. He should not only not be taken seriously he should be considered outright evil.

The nerosous of Pat's religious views took over his ability to reason, he is no longer in control of his own thoughts. His agenda, which at one time might have been positive, has corrupted his mind and thinks for him now.

Peta:People eating tasty animals.

I do wonder why the newsmedia gives him a platform. I am sick and tired of hearing what Pat says simply because he doesn't have anything of value to say. But when the media replays it, it gives his words more credibility than they deserve.

No respecting man of G*d would ever make any statement that Pat made. To suggest that a city could "vote" G*d out of the city is beyond assinine. He has forgotten where G*d is. Pat has been in his own world for so long, he thinks that politics is a form of religion. He thinks that words mean anything to G*d.

Pat Robertson needs to retire. I know, especially for Ken and I, that would be a major relief. Then the next issue would be for People Executing Tame Animals to leave Norfolk.

Haldol will help those voices in your head stop talking to you Pat. It works wonders for other paranoid schizophrena cases I know.

They give him a platform because he makes Christians look bad and the media wants to tar all Christians with the Pat Robertson brush.

Pat Robertson has ignored the plain teachings of scripture on natural disasters and the will of God:
Bible in Basic English
Gospel of John 13:1 "Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

13:2 And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?

13:3 I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end

13:4 Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?

13:5 I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way".

Of course the disaster that Jesus speaks of is spiritual death, not the tragedy of natural disaster that all humanity is subject to.
