I wonder if old age senility is affecting Pat Robertson's behavior.

Thank you for your concern for my well-being, my friend. Actually, the ministerial model I most admire does often result in working yourself to an early death. I've never really gotten the hang of vacation (took only 2 of my allowed 3 weeks last year for instance, and ended up intermittently working during that time) - its probably because I don't see the Apostles getting many breaks in scripture and try to follow the model they left.

But I do set time aside for a little bit of relaxation each day, movies, cigars, books, AH2. I spend too much time writing here though... I do have two excellent Ruling Elders and two Deacons who take up some of the labor. I guess I'm too busy raking in the big bucks, twisting arms and not doing anyone any good through organized religion for much of a break.

God has given all free choice. Any man who hinders the free will of another is not a man of God. He said "by their fruits ye shall know them."

I disagree. You sir are darksided.

If more people would realise that religion is about living by a moral code based on being nice to each other, and not fiery retribution to the non-believers... the world would be a much nicer place.... quieter too.

Hi MT,

You have to understand, for the NRB to "disinvite" and that's what happened despite the window dressing, a board member, and one of the most popular religious broadcasters in the world, is a major event. Especially in our non-confrontational, para-church, little or no accountability, egalitarian world. They also realize there is no upside to it. Those opposed to them aren't going to praise them and its already caused a lot of Christians who have a personal loyalty to Robertson to complain.

But as for how important it was, it would be like the DNC disinviting Howard Dean from speaking at the National Convention because of his habit of popping off with outrageous and embarrassing statements. How likely or easy do you think that is, and can you imagine the backlash from his supporters?

I'm sure this is true. I hope folks here will also see the hypocrisy we perpetrate when we say the "leaders of Islam" haven't done enough to denounce violence. It would seem that leaders everywhere are disinclined to stick their neck out.
