Pat Robertson: Snow Is God's Way of Punishing Americans Planning To Drive To Do

[Sandy Eggo]

Creators Syndicate – VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report) — Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today's broadcast of his "700 Club" program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast "to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay."
__Explaining his theory, Robertson said, "Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two."__ Additionally, he argued, God shut down major airports in the New York area "so that people who were hoping to fly to do something of a gay nature would have to take a train or a bus, so it might be days before the gay thing they were going to do could occur."__
As for the millions of straight people in New York City who were also grounded by the bad weather, the televangelist said, "I think God probably wonders: If these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?"__

I see the need of a mental health check up here. Wonder if he thinks all the people who fly or drive are going to do "gay" things?

[Sandy Eggo]

I know, I agree Anne. At first I thought that he meant "gay" as in the original meaning of the term "happy". It's still crazy, but makes sense, "God wants to punish people and prevent them from doing things that make them happy." Like a parent punishes a child, but he blew it at the end.

Hum, wonder if people send in some money he can make all the snow go away?

Satire?

Probably Borowitz is known for that. Although, it's not a reach. Pat Robertson is nuts

Religion, and in particular the same big three; islame, christchun, and judyism, are the lowest level of moral development, Per (http://faculty.plts.edu/gpence/html/kohlberg.htm) of which I agree.

  When old Pat dies I hope someone will drive a stake through his heart.  Shoot him with a silver bullet and throw a bushel of garlic in his casket and set it out into the sunlight for awhile before they bury or burn him.

  So the old son of a bitch will stay dead.

  Now if the Gay's were having a Gay Pride day in Jamaica, the second week of July and they got a blizzard and four feet of snow.  Well, I might think more serious about what Goofy Pat had to say.      Oh another thing, people forgets he was trained as a lawyer.
