They've made him a very, very wealthy man. Too bad he doesn't give more to the poor and the needy. He's a hypocrite like most of the Bible Thumpers.
Pat Robertson is both deluded and arrogant. Time and time again, he has falsely claimed to know the mind of the divine.
The world will be such a better place when that old bastard finally dies.
Leave it to Robertson, however, to politicize a tragedy for his own ends. he has quite a track record in that department. but that is Pat Robertson - - not all Christians.
all this has to do with the Sikh shooting, how - - exactly?
I believe Pat Robertson's point was that atheists were responsible for the carnage somehow - - although there is no word, at least at this point, as to what religion, if any, Page held.
many, many white supremacists, jfwiw, profess to be Christian. I'm not saying they ARE - but many do claim to be.
I do agree that extremists from either end of the spectrum irritate the piss out of me....
Christians, even the good ones, preach. Why shouldn't atheists? Perhaps we should be more loving about it; but why shouldn't we proclaim to the world that based upon our best understanding, there probably is no god; with the same zeal with which Christians proclaim to the world that they've been saved by Jesus Christ and we should be too?
I respect Christians like you, who admit that there is no proof of God. That it's simply a matter of faith. You either believe or you don't. You're honest. I get tired of dealing with the ones who point to this natural phenomenon, or that irreduc...

I respect Christians like you, who admit that there is no proof of God. That it's simply a matter of faith. You either believe or you don't. You're honest. I get tired of dealing with the ones who point to this natural phenomenon, or that irreducible complexity; and call it evidence. It isn't.
As for freedom of religion, most of us are for freedom of religion. And in order to protect that freedom, we need that wall of separation between church and state. we need religion not to be taught in schools. We need to keep the Ten Commandments out of the courthouse. We need to prevent the Government from favoring any religion over others. It isn't that we want them preaching against religion in schools; but they do need to be honest about what science says. And let the individual decide for himself/herself how it pertains to their beliefs about their god.
