Pat Robertson

I will apologize in advance for today's first couple of posts....need to rant a bit!

Have you read the latest comments from Pat Robertson?

Pat Robertson publicly told the world that Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was punishment for "dividing God's land." He followed up by stating "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 is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Ariel Sharon is 78 years old. A stroke is to be expected for someone this age.

I will tell you this, the producers of The 700 Club need to bring Pat Robertson back in line. He is giving Christians a bad name. I realize that there will be times as Christians that things we say based on the Bible will irritate non-Christians....but all Christians....and especially Christians in such a prominent position as Pat Robertson have a responsibility to apply logic to their interpreations of the Bible. Logic tells me that as a 78 year old man, Sharon is nearing the end of his life and a stoke would not be totally unexpected.
