Pass The Collection Plate

Ah yes, Pat Robertson once again put his foot in it. Unless you have been buried under a rock, you are well aware that, according the the good reverend, God has smote Israeli Prime Minister Sharon for dividing up "God's land."

Anyway, so Mr. Robertson has claimed Sharon has angered God and the lord of Abraham has come upon the Prime Minister with a terrible vengence causing his over worked arteries to burst. We heathens would call this a stroke brought upon by years of morbid obesity, age, stress and, probably, poor diet. Of course, we don't have a hot line to God so we are probably wrong.

This, of course, angered the Israeli's. So much so that they refused to continue with the plans for a proposed Christian heritage museum and theme park in Galilee that Robertson and some other evangelicals were involved in. We are talking about a potential loss of millions of dollars.

So, like any good Christian, Robertson has put his money where his soul is and recanted. He would never risk revenue for something so silly as his strongly held beliefs. I mean, the man said it and probably meant it. He has said similar things about less financially lucrative targets. So why apologize now? He didn't apologize to Dover, PA, did he? Of course not.

There was no money involved.

This just goes to show that the money changers that Jesus drove out of the temple have returned in full force.

God bless you Mr. Robertson. You'll need it.
