In case you were wondering, Part Robertson is still an asshole :

On today’s 700 Club, Rev. Pat Robertson took the opportunity to strongly rebuke voters in Dover, PA who removed from office school board members who supported teaching faith-based “intelligent design” and instead elected Democrats who opposed bringing up the possibility of a Creator in the school system’s science curriculum.

Rev. Robertson warned the people of Dover that God might forsake the town because of the vote.

Pat Robertson“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.”

I’m sure god will be way too busy helping Pat perfect his recipe for “Age-Defying Protein Pancakes” to worry about responding to a disaster in Dover, Pennsylvania (or was that the reason god refused to help out the people of New Orleans, stop the towers from collapsing on 9/11, or prevent the deaths of thousands of innocents in Iraq?). Apparently, the god that Pat Robertson believes in is a vindictive dick who’d punish people for their votes in school board elections. Of course, there’s always the possibility that Robertson is a fraud who’d rather sell fake cures for cancer than pay attention to the teachings of Jesus. There’s a lot more money to be made in using the Bible as a branding tool instead of a religious text.
