Mr. Robertson, God is on line 1… January 6, 2006

It looks as if the Bat Phone in Pat Robertson’s office rang again yesterday. God, who apparently has Robertson on speed dial, called to discuss Ariel Sharon’s situation with the leader of the 700 Club. See below:
From the Associated Press today: WASHINGTON – The White House sharply criticized Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson on Friday for suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine punishment for “dividing God’s land.” Robertson made comments about Israel and Sharon on his TV program, “The 700 Club.” He said, “God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible and he says `This is my land,’ and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, `No, this is mine.’”
This brings up a few questions:
1. Does this guy have nothing better to do than to misinterpret the Bible and twist its words into whatever shape he wants?
2. Who actually watches his program? In my entire life I’ve never known anyone who, a) watches “The 700 Club” or b) even knows what channel it on.
3. Why does no one ever seem to really challenge him (or Falwell, for that matter) for these dumb ass quotes? The White House took him to task on this one, and a few in the past, but nothing major – it’s forgotten about in a few hours. Either he’s a sacred cow and no one wants to touch him, or he’s such a lunatic that no one really puts any credence into his defamatory remarks. I’m hoping it’s the latter, not the former.
If anyone can explain this idiot and his continual hateful comments to me, I’d be happy to be enlightened.
