Robertson: Ignorant Remarks Caused by God’s Wrath

(2006-01-06) — Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson, who yesterday told viewers that God’s wrath spurred Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke, today said his own “ignorant remarks are another manifestation of God’s anger.”

The popular TV personality said God punished Mr. Sharon, 77, for dividing the land that God gave to the Israelites, and that Mr. Robertson’s own periodic claims to know the Lord’s motivation behind specific events are part of God’s judgment on the American church.

“If Christians would read the Bible, instead of just watching TV, they would understand that people who claim to know exactly why God does what He does are usually false teachers,” said Mr. Robertson. “God disciplines American Christians for their willful ignorance of the Scriptures by having me embarrass them every 60 days or so with another ridiculous remark.”

Mr. Robertson said that God had judged Ariel Sharon by making him “old and morbidly obese” and thus a high risk for cardio-vascular problems.

“It’s like a lightning bolt from heaven,” he said.

Satire at Robertson's expense. I hope that you like it :-)

Good post. All things considered in that land of turmoil what was Arafat's long life purpose?

I meant to ping you too

I loved the line where he had to embarass us every 60 days

"I loved the line where he had to embarass us every 60 days."


Makes one wonder about 'punishment' for claiming things God never said. Interesting now isn't it that scripturally speaking those of the 'house' of God are in line for judgment first.

“God disciplines American Christians for their willful ignorance of the Scriptures by having me embarrass them every 60 days or so with another ridiculous remark.”

Sometimes the difference between truth and satire becomes incredibly thin.

LOL. It's a biblical edict.

You can bet those that can't stand for someone to tell them what the Bible says will...

Now I have to wonder if he did inhale where Clinton didn't

[saveliberty]

Scott Ott is always right on target

[saveliberty]

LOL!

[linda_22003]

And sometimes it can be so hard to tell if it IS satire.....

"Now I have to wonder if he did inhale where Clinton didn't"


LOL, I had not even considered that possibility.

[saveliberty]

:-) I take that as a "yes"

[bahblahbah]

Give me a break. Scrappleface's insinuation in this satire that Robertson is God's wrath on American Christians is just as biblically sound as saying Sharon's stroke was God's wrath.

[saveliberty]

That's for certain

[saveliberty]

Um that would be the point of Scott Ott's satire

[saveliberty]

I had other thoughts but I don't want to be sent to the penalty box.

He who God destroys he first makes a blithering idiot.
