Pat Robertson is talking out his backside again. From this article in WaPo, he is quoted as saying via his mealy mouthpiece, the “700 Club,” in response to a vote in a Pennsylvania city ousting a school board that backed “intelligent design” curriculum:

“I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God — you just rejected Him from your city,” Robertson said on his daily television show, “The 700 Club.”
“And don’t wonder why He hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I’m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for His help because he might not be there,” he said.

Now, if anybody could claim to know God, it’s Pat Robertson. Being on a first name basis with the Big Guy did nothing for Pat’s bid for president back in the day, but one never can tell. If you can take the word of Mr. Robinson - and you should, who knows Him better? - God is just as petty and spiteful as his human pets. We are, after all, made in his image (or, is He made in ours, I never quite get that.) Clearly, judging by the words quoted above, the City of Dover, PA. should be vaporized by some cosmic calamity any day now…

Property values should plummet after this news gets out. The outbound freeways will jamb, mass riots, the whole bit. Don’t forget to tune up your Tivo to catch all the footage.
