Pat Robertson: "Ask God to get those liberals on the Supreme Court to retire."

What a sick fuck. I can’t even think of anything else to say.

Sorry, NaSultianne, I should have made this more clear.

I have no problem with conservatives slamming liberals, or vice versa.

My gripe concerns the practice of Christianity by Brother Pat here. Apparently he thinks he knows what God wants, or what God would want if God was only paying enough attention.

I’ve been a Christian for nearly 33 years, and Rehnquist has been on the Supreme Court, taking stands usually diametrically opposed to mine for almost all of that time. It’s never once occured to me that I should pray for his retirement. Nor that I should pray for any GOP candidate from Nixon to Bush the Younger to lose an election. It’s this weird thing about not knowing God’s will: “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who has been his counsellor?” asks Paul in one of his epistles. The answer is not “Me!!!”, surprising as that may seem.

Pat is welcome to take whatever political stances he wants; it’s a free country. It’s this business of treating God as a kind of personal pet god that takes one’s side in everything that I can’t abide. It just ain’t like that.

Christ, isn’t this asshole dead yet?

24

This little nudge from Pat Robertson may be all that some fanatical wingnut needs to pick up his shotgun and try to do god’s work.

25

As if we needed more reasons to dislike Pat Robertson…

26

For all I care, Pat Robertson can ask God to send robot wolverines to gnaw off my scrotum. Since there ain’t no magical sky fairy to respond to his prayer, the only person being worked into a lather about it is Robertson himself. And one of these days his overworked black heart will crumble into dust.

Loons like Robertson aren’t worth the energy it takes to think about them.

27

Except, of course, that this particular loon controls a media empire and has a whole hell of a lot of devoted followers who take his venomous spewings seriously.

28

We all know Zeus is a big manslut anyway. Him and his golden showers, swans, bulls…

chokes back a sob

Pat will get progressively loony as he ages. He really should consider retirement. I’m sure there’s a happy farm somewhere that’ll let him play god.

30

What? When did this happen? Why wasn’t I informed?

31

Pat mentions the health concerns of 3 of the justices. Shouldn’t he be sending some of his magic pancakes their way?

32

Sounds like a prayer to the almighty to me! :smiley:

33

Does not the Good Book quote The Boss as saying" Be not like the Republicans, praying in public to be seen as pious…" and so forth?

34

Isn’t that in contradiction with this :

35

I’m tempted to convert to Christianity just so I could pray to God that Pat gets uncontrollable explosive diarrhea.

36

You got your wish, save only that the orifice involved is his mouth, rather than his Nixon.

37

Actually, judging by the picture accompanying the CNN article, Mr. Blue Sky got his wish granted unconditionally.

38

Was doing the rounds online, and on one of my usual sites I found this… A call for people to Pray for Robertson’s Ass to be Toast… (PRAT) I like it :smiley:

Only after the bit with the spear. Before that, he was a bleeding wrists/feet liberal.

(I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself.)

Reminds me of a t-shirt i’ve been meaning to buy. I think i’ll order it now.
