Pat Robertson and Theocracy.

Finally, we are begining to hear from the real Christians about Pat Roberts, the 700 Club, Jerry Falwell, Dobson, and that whole pack of anti-human zealots...

"...Pat Robertson suggested this past Monday that the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, be assassinated by operatives of the United States government! Though his comments are newsworthy because of his following in the 700 Club and his political stature and role in the political religious right, his comments however are out of synch with everything that has been handed down to us from the teachings of Jesus Christ. What I am suggesting here is that Pat Robertson and individuals of his ilk are not practicing or preaching Christ but have become adherents of a political movement in this nation that attempts to use Christianity towards their own narrow political ends..." (Pat Robertson is not a Christian. Reverend Gaylan Scott Hagler. Common Dreams)

He goes on to say...

"...Therefore, it is impossible to justify the comments of Pat Robertson. His comments are not of the gospel he claims to preach, nor of the teachings of Christ that any Christian claims to love. Instead what Robertson has to say is based on a paradigm from the most conservative voices in this country, and those voices have no God except themselves and no soul except their selfish point of view!"

It is refreshing to finally hear someone talk about Christ as a compassionate and caring leader. This is the Christianity that I thought was real. Christ was a liberal, and always has been...his message has been corrupted by evil men whose lust for personal power overwhelms their ability to be Christians.
