For shame!
Do you remember when Sylvester the cat (Loony Tunes, AKA Bug’s Bunny cartoons) had a son that always wanted his dad to teach him how to catch a mouse? Sylvester would dutifully try to show his son how to catch a mouse (or bird), and would dutifully foul up dreadfully. His son would put a bag over his head and cry, “For shame, I have a father who can’t catch a mouse, for shame!”
Well, I’m searching for my bag. This kind of stuff is enough to make me very very embarrassed to call myself a Christian.
This story came up in several places, but I think the Jerusalem Post is a good place to quote from.
Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s stroke was divine punishment for “dividing God’s land.”
ARG! What a complete fool, idiot, dolt, etc. I can’t think up enough words for this jerk. It isn’t the first time Pat Robertson has said things like this, but this is really a new low.
To make things worse, here is what Angell Watts, Pat Roberson’s spokesperson, said when questioned on the issue:
“What they’re basically saying is, `How dare Pat Robertson quote the Bible?”‘ “This is what the word of God says,” Watts said. “This is nothing new to the Christian community.”
What! For shame, for shame.
Of course, the pundits are having a hay day!
Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said a religious leader “should not be making callous political points while a man is struggling for his life.”
Well, given the choice of which group to join, personally, I’ll join the ACLU before I join the ACLJ!
What a maroon!
