Sorry to put that tread in this forum but, I think the people on this forum are open-minded and can give me a point of view of the american nation. The newspapers report that Pat Roberson (religious leader) call for the assasination of Hugo Chavez? :scratch: Is that right? because I thought only muslin religious leader :screwy: were doing that.

Robertson calls for assassination of Chavez
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called on Monday for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him a “terrific danger” to the United States.
Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, said on “The 700 Club” it was the United States’ duty to stop Chavez from making Venezuela a “launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.”
Chavez has emerged as one of the most outspoken critics of President Bush, accusing the United States of conspiring to topple his government and possibly backing plots to assassinate him. U.S. officials have called the accusations ridiculous.

:lol: We got a few days then! Hehe
Murphy showed up at mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his life.
After mass, the priest caught Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad you decided to come to mass, what made you come?"
Murphy said, "I've got to be honest with you, Father. Awhile back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn came to church every Sunday. I also knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during mass and I figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that you didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest gave Murphy a big smile and said, "After I talked about 'thou shalt not steal,' you decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in Hell, right?"
Murphy shook his head and said, "No, Father, after you talked about 'thou shalt not commit adultery,' I remembered where I left me hat."

Seriously, though, Robertson is the guy that said we deserved what we got on 911. He said the U.S. has become a haven for satanism, homosexuals, etc, and that God had stop protecting us b/c of that.
He later retracted his statements b/c it hit him in his pocket book, but I see he's up to the same old things.
For anyone that's grown up in the south, his ramblings aren't too drastically different than the ramblings of other southern Baptists. They're very fire and brimstone, and everything in the Bible is to be taken literally.

Pat praying for God to kill off SCOTUS justices:
In July 2003, Robertson asked his audience to pray for three justices to retire from the Supreme Court so they could be replaced with more conservative jurists. "One justice is 83 years old, another has cancer and another has a heart condition," he said.
from CNN article linked above.
Pat on why judges are responsible for 9/11:
We have a court that has essentially stuck its finger in God's eye. We have insulted God at the highest levels of our government. Then, we say, "Why does this happen?" It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us.
Pat on why homosexuals are responsible for 9/11:
We have imagined ourselves invulnerable and have been consumed by the pursuit of ... health, wealth, material pleasures and sexuality... It [terrorism] is happening because God Almighty is lifting his protection from us.
Pat on why 9/11 happened:
This is God's power and he sent this thing to warn us ... we needed a shock.
Pat on who is fit to rule:
Individual Christians are the only ones really -- and Jewish people, those who trust God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- are the only ones that are qualified to have the reign, because hopefully, they will be governed by God and submit to Him.
Pat on true Christians:
You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them.
Pat on feminists:
The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.
Pat on male dominance:
God's pattern is for men to be the leaders, both in the church and in the family... "Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them."
A bit more on female inferiority:
I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period.
Pat on gay nazism
Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals -- the two things seem to go together.
Pat on the gravitational pull of homosexuals:
If the widespread practice of homosexuality will bring about the destruction of your nation, if it will bring about terrorist bombs, if it'll bring about earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor, it isn't necessarily something we ought to open our arms to.
Pat on white supremecy in Africa:
I think "one man, one vote," just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.
