Uh-Oh, No Disney Hat For Pat

John Martin sent me a link to his post on the result of Pat Robertson's latest verbal blunder. Turns out his recent proclamation that Ariel Sharon's stroke was God's punishment for his handling of Israel may have cost him his Jesus-land project:
"JERUSALEM - Israel won't do business with Pat Robertson after the evangelical leader suggested Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke was divine punishment, a tourism official said Wednesday, putting into doubt plans to develop a large Christian tourism center in northern Israel."
Since I have commented on Pat Robertson several times, I had a friend ask what I had against him. Simple: Pat Robertson is viewed by many to be a leading voice of evangelicals (Why, exactly? I do not know). The fact is, though, he is not. I think it important to not only expose the absurdities of this "spokesman" but to also clearly communicate the distance that stands between people like Robertson and the majority of evangelicals in this country. It's nothing personal...he just really needs to learn to filter himself. That, of course, would mean he would never say anything...which would be perfect.

You can read John's full post on the subject here.

This is hilarious! It bit him in the pants and spared us the humiliation of "Jesus-land". (Whew!)
