This is a fair and balanced piece.
I’m surprised that FReepers sound so much like DU when it comes to hating on high-profile Christians. I guess we really are more “conservative” than “Christian” around here ...

I am, and always will be, a Christian first. And, this board is not known for “hating on high profile Christians”. So, when even the vast majority of conservative God-fearing Christians have come to the conclusion that Robertson was being an obnoxious jackass ... maybe its time to re-think before drinking the Robertson kool-aid.
Even Christian leaders are capable of incredible lapses in judgment — and most Christians seem to recognize this as one of those circumstances.

I am a Christian and Robertson is a good Christian. However, he does great harm to the Christian cause when he makes stupid remarks such as this at a time of great suffering in Haiti. No one except God knows why this tragedy occurred. He’s been on the world stage long enough to know how his remarks would be interpreted. Why give the opposition ammunition?
