Pat Robertson: Mocking Christian Fundamentalists Makes God Mad

Pat Robertson: Mocking Christian Fundamentalists Makes God Mad
April 30, 2015 by Michael Stone

Pat Robertson is not amused, and worries that mocking Christian fundamentalists like himself makes God mad.

Earlier this week on his television program The 700 Club Robertson hosted a special segment called “Cape Henry: The Beginning of a Christian Nation.” In the segment Robertson warned that God will soon remove “His hand of protection over America” because people are mocking Christian fundamentalists like himself.

Right Wing Watch reports Robertson cited riots in Baltimore and Ferguson, legal abortion and the Supreme Court’s attempt to “bring in sodomy and put it in the Constitution” as signs that the country is straying from biblical values. Robertson warned that the U.S. would be “doomed” without the voices of religious fundamentalists like himself:

Sooner or later, a holy God is going to say, ‘I’ve had enough with you, I’ve had enough, my hands are going to be taken off your nation. People mock the word of God and those who proclaim it are laughed at as fundamentalists. Well, we need the fundamentalists because if we don’t have them this nation is doomed.


...

As for mocking Christian fundamentalists, sometimes humor is the most potent weapon one can muster against the dangers of religious extremism. Besides, if reasonable people didn’t laugh at the antics of people like Robertson, they would have to cry.




All I have to say to Pat Robertson is --->

I wonder why one just missed me two years ago. You'd think god would've sent that sucker right through my house.

and leaving the gay-infested coasts unscathed?

Why that might cause a reasonable person to wonder who he's actually trying to punish, if one believed in that kind of nonsense.

The tornado was several hundred yards away from us so we were in no danger. Getting to see an EF3 that close was incredible, though. Believe it or not my first instinct was to run and get my camera.

Crossed one off the bucket list that day.

Like, writing your name with clouds into the sky.
Or destroying a mountain with a lightning.

Have you ever seen the outtakes from that movie? They made me laugh until I thought I'd ruptured something, especially the ones where Marty Feldman tears into Madeline Kahn's fur stole with his teeth...

Gene Hackman's turn as the blind hermit and the "Puttin' on the Ritz" sequence are two of the funniest things I've ever seen on film.
