Thanks Pat!

If further confirmation was needed that Intelligent Design is simply Creationism in disguise, then Pat Robertson just delivered. According to Robertson, the city of Dover, PA has rejected God by ousting the school board that was in favor of including Intelligent Design in science classes. Of course the religious zealot didn’t stop there. The assassination-loving, disaster-targeting mouthpiece of God told the citizens of Dover not to turn to God if a natural disaster strikes their area, as they would get no help from him/her/it. I was surprised that Robertson actually used the term “natural disaster” as he usually calls for God to use his Dial-A-Disaster Machine and send it to the offending community for just punishment. He must have misspoken.

Robertson’s statements today confirmed two things:
1. Intelligent Design has nothing to do with science. It is simply the latest weapon in Christian Fundamentalism’s war against Evolution and the truthful exploration of the universe.
2. Pat Robertson is an embarrassment to himself and the cause he purports to believe in. Publicly, few, if any, will come to his defense over his comments regarding Dover, PA. The credibility of the Religious Right may have been compromised as well since it appears that a nut-job is speaking for God-fearing Christians everywhere.

And while we are on the subject of Pat Robertson, why does this man have any credibility when it comes to the “thoughts” of God. The world seems to be filled with spokespeople for God and some of them must be wrong. In fact, I would guess that Pat Robertson has a 0.00% chance of getting anything right. By the way, if you are religious, do you really want to worship the God that Pat Robertson represents? If you do, then your God is egotistical, masochistic and unforgiving. Those don’t sound like the qualities of a higher being to me.

Let’s face it – all of these people that claim to speak for God are speaking for themselves and are using God as a means of pushing their agenda on others. Yes, it’s that simple and Pat Robertson is your proof. Do something that he disagrees with and you could end up dead, in a hurricane or both. Pat – just go away! You won’t be missed by anyone.
