Happy new year ; the uber-loonies are still with us

Fantastic.

Got me a blog - had been putting it off for ages, but here we go. May take a while to get used to the hang of this...

Love the news today:

"Robertson suggests God smote Sharon
Evangelist links Israeli leader's stroke to 'dividing God's land'"

this is sickening, and makes me wonder why it is "newsworthy" at this time.

Sure the "news" part of it is that Robertson is a sick f*ck who has again shown the world how unhinged and lacking in "christian" decency he is.

However, that is nothing "new".

Surely at a time like this it would be better to not further his coverage, which just stokes his already messianic ego. Ignore the idiot and let the world get on with hoping and praying that Sharon recovers - as unlikely as that is currently looking - to a degree that he can at least stop Netanyahu and the uber-right regaining government over there in March.

Robertson is, in my view, worse than Fred Phelps. At least Phelps is a one-agenda loony; I tend to agree with Barry Lynn that Robertson seems to have a political agenda for the entire world.

I wish that Robertson and his ilk would concentrate on John 8:7 rather than Leviticus. After all they don't adhere 100% to Leviticus themselves (then again, who does sell their daughters into slavery any more, or offer burnt offerings to a vengeful god?) - just the bits they choose to.
