"I don't see this as damaging to Christianity at all. Chavez is an enemy of Christ."

Then, let God strike him down. Robertson impugns all Christians with this kind of idiocy. Christianity can no longer take the moral high ground against fatwa issuing Muslims. In fact, the first thing I heard when I turned on the news this morning was, "Pat Robertson issues a fatwa against Hugo Chavez, more in a moment.". Gee, thanks, Pat.

I agree...my fear here is that when things like this are said...it sets those of us trying to give others the message of Christ... back (already they think we are radical). How can people take Christians seriously and want to learn about Christ and what he did on the cross..when one of our own says something like this? This is a free country and he can say what he wants but unfortunately the liberals and the rest of the world puts all of us in the same boat. Also when Chavez hears this...I worry for the safety of our missionaries in Venezuela.
