I think he's right on. Somehow we think we can spit in God's eye and then turn around and ask His help when we need it.
I agree. We can't continue to reject God.
I agree also,
The bible has many cases of when people reject God and suffer the consequences.
I crack up when people want to make Gods will a one way street. All good no bad.
Go Pat!
yes, but the difference is that Pat is lumping the city into one collective soul, saying that because the majority of citizens voted against God, that God wouldn't listen to the community.
I remember a certain story in a certain Book where God says He'll spare an entire wicked city, even if there are only a handfull of good people in it.
I normally don't agree with Robertson and wish he'd shut up most of the time. His point here is not completely unfounded, just the way he generalized his statement. I agree that we shouldn't turn our backs on God and then ask His help when the time comes. Essentially, we shouldn't be fairweather followers. But by the same token, I know God won't turn a blind eye to an entire people because the majority rules.
Teaching science is spitting in God's eye? Your god is not my God, apparently.
I don't see anything illogical about Pat Robertson's commment.
If God is out, He's out and any public invocation, in event of tragedy or peril in Dover, should logically cite another source of solace. "The brotherhood of man" perhaps.
Seems to me that I remember something like that happened in the French Revolution. The French rejected God and look where they are now. God doesn't force Himself on anyone; why should He go where He's not wanted. I agree.
You God wants his followers to lie for him? Interesting.
