Pat Robertson Laments Cease Fire

Time to get rid of Pat Robertson

Robert Parham of the Baptist Center for Ethics said the time has come for conservative evangelicals to "disown Robertson for his theo-politico wackiness and false teachings from the Bible" and for the CBN board to "act responsibly and remove him from office."

He said Robertson "distorts the biblical witness and puts at risk the global Christian community."

"Robertson distorts the biblical witness and puts at risk the global Christian community. As for the former, he confuses the biblical Israel with the political state of Israel, an all too common mistake within fundamentalist Christianity and a popular trick among TV preachers who lure literalists for loot. As for the latter, when he prays with Israel's prime minister for Israel's victory, he places Christians in Muslim countries in harm's way. Regrettably, non-Christians wrongly think that America is a Christian country at war against non-Christian countries and that Robertson is a representative Christian. Neither is America a Christian nation, nor is Robertson a good representative of Christianity.

"When will conservative evangelicals disown Robertson for his theo-politico wackiness and false teachings from the Bible? When will his own board act responsibility and remove him from office?"

Pat Robertson is crazy. He would be funny if people did not actually listen to him.
