DOVER, Pa. -- Pat Robertson had a special message for residents of Dover, Pa., today after voters there elected to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.
Robertson made the comment after Lee Webb of CBN News delivered a report on how residents in Dover voted in eight new Democratic board members, replacing all eight current members who had voted for a policy that required students in ninth-grade biology classes to hear a statement on intelligent design before hearing lessons on evolution. Webb then asked Robertson what he thought about the vote.
Here was Robertson's response.
"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. 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."

Look, I am not speaking for anyone but myself. Got it??
Quit putting words into my mouth.
But since YOU brought up the "CHRISTIAN GOD"...that is exactly the God that I am refering to. I wouldn't have a clue what "GOD" the people you reference were refering to.
Someday, even the rocks will cry out...
Sorry for the typos, so glad you know how to use sic...
I am speaking for myself. Period.
Why does it have to be either/or?
I am speaking for the people on the public school board, who claimed that ID had nothing to do with the Christian God. Micheal Behe claimed that space aliens could have been behind ID, or that the God who started ID could even be dead.
You are saying ID is definitely the Christian God.
One of these things is not like the other...
Obviously you didn't read the other posts, somone suggested he take up monasticism, I commented that he was married in one post and then I thought about his money and posted the one comment you read,
I am NOT starting any rumors, he would NOT be eligible for the monastic life. He has a wife so he does not fit the monastic chastity model. Same with the money, I was not criticizing his money, but he is NOT poor so the monastic vow of poverty is out. YEESH!!!
Read it all before you start jumping to conclusions and judging.
Does Robertson work for the Daily Show? He must since he is giving them all this material.
We (NYS) get ice storms, sometimes tornados, floods from hurricanes, and sometimes enough snowload on buildings to collapse roofs.
<< As for the rest of your post, it doesn't even deserve comment. It's moronic. >>
I always consider it a high compliment to be called names by drooling fundies. Thank you, and God bless you, too. Kiss Hank's feet or he'll beat the crap out of you.
Hah! Stewart must love stuff like this. The jokes pretty much write themselves at this point.
Yes, I agree, love is not arrogant.
<< Sorry for the typos, so glad you know how to use sic... >>
No need to apologize. I commit plenty of typos, too. I wouldn't [sic] normally -- but in this case, I was quoting your words -- and it is standard procedure to do so.
But then -- my post was moronic, anyway. So -- there it is. Hahahahahaha!
<< Sorry, but intelligent design by it's own DEFINITTION refers to an intelligence behind creation...Yes, GOD. >>
You, sir, are guilty of a terminological inexactitude! LOL! Here is what you wrote:
<< Sorry, but intelligent design by it's own DEFINITTION refers to an intelligence behind creation...Yes, GOD. >>
That ain't, by any stretch of logic, speaking for yourself. Man, it gets tiring having to chase you around and around the mulberry bush. Hahaha!
I think the issue here is that the board simply wants a statement added to their science curriculum that would state that there is another viewpoint and it's that God created mankind. What's wrong with that?
Pat Robertson doesn't speak for God. He speaks for himself and it is sometimes better to be thought a fool than to confirm it live and in color.
<< Sorry, but the MAINSTREAM MEDIA did NOT report Loius' UFO story. Maybe Fox, that's about it. >>
I saw it on CNN -- but don't let the truth get in the way now. You're on a roll. Hahahaha!
Pat Robertson should do God a favor, and tell people he's an atheist.
Better yet read about the Pharisees in the NT. They loved to judge and condemn people too.
you've got mail.
