Please tell me this is a joke

[AppleBiter]

How is this a Christian thought?

Very few leaders of the Christian faith have a grasp on what it truly means to be a Christian in the first place. Yet, several people follow what they (leaders like Roberts) teach instead of what Christ taught because they think these leaders must be appointed by God to lead the people . . . it makes me sad because a lot of people are being disillusioned this way. If they would listen to God and read about what He says instead of letting some jack-ass mold their faith and values, people like Roberts would be out of a job.

*sigh* This is why I don't go to church anymore.

I hope this didn't come off as judgmental, just my opinion on my faith and some of the people in it.

Why would FEMA be giving money to Robertson? Why would anybody be giving anything but the finger to Robertson?

FEMA Funnels Money Pat Robertson's Way
In the days after Hurricane Katrina hit, FEMA designated "Operation Blessing" as the number two charity for donations.

Operation Blessing was founded by television preacher Pat Robertson, who just days before the hurricane suggested the US assassinate Venezula's President, Hugo Chavez. President Chavez later came through with charitible donations of fuel and cash to the hurricane zone.

Operation Blessing's latest IRS reports shows that it gives most of it's money to Mr Robertson's TV network.

After Katrina pounded the Gulf Coast and the extent of the death and damage began to come into focus, Mr Robertson went on that network of his and suggested the storm -- and the media attention it drew away from other news stories -- was a windfall for President Bush's Supreme Court nominee:

"Judge Roberts can be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good.” —Rev. Pat Robertson on his 700 Club tv show


Even as Brother Pat was sticking his foot in his mouth about what a "blessing" Katrina was turning out to be, FEMA was directing tens of millions of dollars toward his charity.

FEMA put out a list of suitable charities for private contributors to support. Only the American Red Cross got a higher mention.

This is despite less than charitable things investigators have said about Operation Blessing over the years. It's latest IRS filing shows the charity gave more than half of it's money last year -- or about $880,000 -- to Preacher Robertson's CBN TV network -- not to charitible causes.

They're bring the Word of Pat, I mean God, to the Godless.

There's no more charitable act than that.

Well, I didn't figure that anyone would actually write the old boy about this shit, so I did. What the hell. Stir the pot.

As seen below in the response from his lackies, The Ellen issue was, as pointed out earlier, a false article. However, there was no mention of any of the other commentary in this thread. And yes, I did send a link to this thread.

We appreciate this opportunity to respond to you on behalf of Pat Robertson. Because of the large amount of mail received daily at CBN, Pat is not able to reply to you personally.

We are sorry about any misunderstanding regarding the alleged comments by Pat Robertson about Ellen Degeneres and her lifestyle allegedly being linked to Hurricane Katrina. Pat Robertson did not make the comments that were attributed to him.

A satirical internet website recently posted an article claiming that Pat had said these (and other) things about Ellen Degeneres. The article was full of satire, and not true at all. Unfortunately, some people took it seriously and starting spreading the false quotes to other websites, and perhaps e-mails.

May God bless you.

I'm not surprised to read that, although his flunkies might be lying. It did seem somewhat over the top, even for Robertson. In any event, since peoploe actually believe he made such a ridiculous remark, you would think it might make him think about how he is perceived by so many people.
