Robertson Links Sharon's Stroke to Wrath
(AP) Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for "dividing God's land."

"God considers this land to be his," Robertson said on his TV program "The 700 Club." "You read the Bible and he says `This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, `No, this is mine.'"

Sharon, who ordered Israel's withdrawal from Gaza last year, suffered a severe stroke on Wednesday.

In Robertson's broadcast from his Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach, the evangelist said he had personally prayed about a year ago with Sharon, whom he called "a very tender-hearted man and a good friend." He said he was sad to see Sharon in this condition.

This man is an absolute nut case. And a dangerous one at that.

7. Sam Kinison helps me get over Robertson
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 08:01 PM by Minimus
Whenever I feel like I'm letting that idiot Robertson get to me I just remember one of Kinison's routines about God having a sense of humor and how he decided to just mess with Robertson by telling him to run for president. God also wakes him up in the middle of the night to check his tire pressure.

If you haven't seen that bit by Kinison, I highly recommend it.

edited for correction of tire pressure
