Over the Edge
By Jeremy | November 11, 2005
Pat Robertson did it again this week. Following-up his call for assassinating Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez this summer and his irresponsible accusations about Iranian nukes last month, this week he warned “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.”
Their offense? Participating in a free and open democratic election and ousting controversial school board members who had previously determined that Dover public schools should offer intelligent design theory as an alternative theory to evolution.
Regardles of one’s belief in intelligent design or position on whether it should be taught in public schools, it’s over the edge to promise:
“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.”
If Dover’s unbelievers needed more ammunition for justifying their unbelief, they just received it.
