It would seem that the Rev. Pat Robertson has once again found a way to make Christians look stupid...or should I say "stoopid" and practicing diplomacy without a license. (Hillary Clinton several years ago as Fist Lady did the same when she refused to denounce remarks by Yassir Arafat's wife at a women's conference saying how Israel was practicing infanticide).

Robertson says Sharon's stroke is God's punishment

The Reverend Pat Robertson says Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke could be God's punishment for giving up Israeli territory. The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network told viewers of "The 700 Club" that Sharon was "dividing God's land," even though the Bible says doing so invites "God's enmity." Robertson added, "I would say woe to any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course." He noted that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. Robertson said God's message is, "This land belongs to me. You'd better leave it alone."
