God likes to tease Pat though. I remember when God told Pat to run for president than sat back and chuckled at the folly that ensued.

Wasn't he also, the televangelist who said that if all his listeners didn't send in X million dollars by such and such a day he would die ( or so the Lord told him)?

Unfortunately, most all of the Pentecostal Christians I know have little or no knowledge of the natural world than the junk science that people like Pat Robertson scramble up and regurgitate for them.

I recently was "told" that AIDS could be caught from an infected person sneezing within a 30 foot radius of where a person (me?) might be standing. Because they blindly believe in the authority of these televangelists they automatically assume those tele-preachers must be very knowledgeable about science and worldly things as well.

I am a Pentecostal Christian and I am amazed at some of the things my friends at church tell me. Explain something in terms they can understand and they think your are a genius of world renown. Of they tell you to go back to reading your bible. Sigh. I have read my bible so much since I accepted the Lord that I usually can back up what I say with scripture. But they will still believe the next goofy thing that Robertson, Falwell or Hinn says.

The great Sam Kinison:

"God's up in heaven going (snicker), 'Yeah I got bored! I got bored so I told Pat Robertson to run for President!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Watch, this! Watch him do it! Watch him do it! Hey, tonight I'm going to make him get up at 3:00 in the morning and tell him to go check his tire pressure! Watch this... Pat, Pat, it's the Lord! I want you to go out and check your tire pressure.'"

I don't consdier it folly that 100's of thousands, probably millions of evangelical Christians got much more politically informed and active as a result of his running.
