Televangelist Robertson warns town of God's wrath


"Conservative Christian televangelist Pat Robertson told citizens of a Pennsylvania town that they had rejected God by voting their school board out of office for supporting "intelligent design" and warned them on Thursday not to be surprised if disaster struck."

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city," Robertson said on his daily television show broadcast from Virginia, "The 700 Club."

"And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there," he said.


Yes, Robertson is a very good example of why there should be a separation of church and state. The ridiculousness of his warning shows just how much he wants to see an American Theocracy.

Too bad his kind don't understand Freedom of Religion means being free to practice any religion , or none at all, not just their version. It means no state agency can or should promote, or force upon anyone, any religion, or one over the other.

He seems to conveniently overlook the fact that no one voted God out, they just simply prefer that a science class, teach science, and not religion. They still have their churches, sunday schools, and even evangelical TV programming, to continue to allow God in.

Conversion by coersion, just doesn't seem very Christian to me.
