Fear Monger Pat Robertson Opens His Fat Trap and Falls Right In...Again.

Ridiculous, Unfounded, Unfortunate

     Have you ever watched the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" with Harrison Ford and Sean Connery? There is a line toward the end of the movie that sums up Pat Robertson perfectly. In the particular scene I am talking about the Nazi woman (I think her name was Elsa Schneider) is surprised to see Indiana Jones show up and she asks him how he got there. His answer: "I'm like a bad penny, I always show up." That is totally right up Pat Robertson's alley.

     There are not very many issues in our modern world where Robertson neglects to insert his two pence. I am of the opinion that if he thinks he can inject Jesus and God into a situation he will absolutely do it no matter the cost or people offended. While in general people like Robertson are quite susceptible to making mentally imbalanced statements what makes him tolerable is the sheer entertainment of shit he says.

     After watching this video I found myself laughing not only at the sheer stupidity of his claim but also at the fact that the little worm is not paying attention to the words of his little book of spells and not paying attention to previous statements he made as to the End Times. 


     The Bible says something along the lines of all those who maintained their faith in God will celebrate End Times signs. This is supposed to be because that would mean Jesus is that much closer in coming back. Considering that, why in the hell would Robertson say or do or even worry about and try to stop or delay anything relating to End Times? I thought he said that such times were to be celebrated by Christians and the faster Jesus got here, the better.

     Now, I am not quite sure which mental dimension Robertson has decided to park his brain and common goddamn sense in, but where oh where in the fuckey-doo did he get the info that surveillance cameras signal End Times? What is he referring to as far as cameras being in private homes? Never mind all that because his scenario for the supposed End Times has been totally ripped-off from a movie.

Signs of the times? Pat says Jesus said there would be earthquakes in diverse locations. So what. Bernie Madhoff said the money was there and it wasn't.

Here Robertson tries to sound deep and introspective and spiritually informing as he twists and turns the semantics of Bible verses into something of a crystal ball. Also, take a look at the poster print he is pointing to with his wand. It has got to be font 500. The little leprechaun must be losing his eyesight.

Miracles of the Children of Israel in Egypt

Letting His People Go

     So, when I was a kid and being dutifully raised to believe the cracker jack of the Bible, one of my favorite stories to hear was the plight of the Children of Israel in the land of Egypt and how the Lord God made all of these really wonderful miracles (for the most part in the form of plagues) in order to free His people.

     What happened with the ten plagues of Egypt? What were the exact plagues visited upon the people of Egypt? And another thing, why does God always seem to lean to the terrible in His efforts to prove to those who do not believe in Him that He is real? You would think He would simply show Himself and get it over with instead of playing tricks and killing things in an effort to show His supposedly awesome power.

      Sure there are miracles in the Bible, many of them the most terrible things ever, but you cannot help but to laugh at the supposed miracles of doom as you listen to Robin Williams describe it all. Soooo funny!    

     Precisely as this man suggests, the many miracles in the Bible that prove (or that are supposed to prove God) are terrible. Why would the great love of the universe try to prove itself by use of terrible miracles? That proves nothing save for the God of the Bible is a thug who loves to torture those who don't care for Him or His truly absurd and terrible policies of so-called judgment.

     So, God wants his people freed and appears to a guy in the for of a burning bush. Why wouldn't God pick something a little more believeable...like appearing as a person? And why doesn't God ever do something for Himself, right? If He wants something done and if He wants something done right why doesn't he do it Himself? Why get people to do all of this shit? And why have so much suffering on order to get what He wants? I'm just saying...

     You can always count on some explanation or other from Hollywood! I love this scene.

     While the Bible generally does not jibe with science and any other of the evidence science provides as to the non-existence of God, anytime the Bible and proponents of the Bible find that science just might be helpful in proving their stories of delusion...well hell...they jump right up and take whatever they can and twist that science they have found in an effort to prove theories of a big, bad, angry God and His actual existence. Then they jump up and down and clap their hands with glee as they shout "I told you so" and point to the existence of God. Whatever.
