Lessons

Pat Robertson is trying to teach us unwashed heathens how to be real Christians. You know, by doing things like praying for people to get cancer and die - sorta like he did for a former Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.

Pat Robertson Tells Dover Residents They Rejected God

DOVER, Pa. -- Pat Robertson had a special message for residents of Dover, Pa., today after voters there elected to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.

Robertson made the comment after Lee Webb of CBN News delivered a report on how residents in Dover voted in eight new Democratic board members, replacing all eight current members who had voted for a policy that required students in ninth-grade biology classes to hear a statement on intelligent design before hearing lessons on evolution. Webb then asked Robertson what he thought about the vote.

Here was Robertson's response.

"I'd like to say to 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. 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."

The new school board members have said that they are not against intelligent design, but that they just don't want it taught in science class.

Intelligent design backers have consistently argued that the teaching is purely scientific and has nothing to do with religion.
