Pat Robertson Goes Crazy?

[signalmankenneth]

How can we tell? He's making sense!

[SIZE=+1] Link[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]
[/SIZE] Republicans throwing Grover Norquist overboard? We love that, but something more profound
is shaking the philosophical foundations of the GOP. I'm talking about a tumult of Biblical proportions...

Remember Marco Rubio responded when asked if he knew how old the Earth was?
"I'm not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says..."

Pat Robertson has explicitly derided the belief that the Earth is only 6,000 years old as false.

"Look, I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this, but Bishop Ussher wasn't
inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years. It just didn't. You go back in time,
you've got radiocarbon dating. You got all these things and you've got the carcasses of dinosaurs
frozen in time out in the Dakotas."

Look at the religious nut telling people to knock off the crazy talk.
Pat Robertson says we should listen to science.
Pat Robertson says the Bible isn't meant to be taken literally.

I have more respect for Robertson today. Anyone that has actually studied the Bible thoroughly and believes the Bible to be infallible and historically accurate is either a deceiver, in denial or just a dumb ass. The guys that follow their lead are deceived.

Robertson is an idiot.

Robertson is an idiot.

He was right when he blamed all the immorality in the USA for its woes, but he lost credibility when he suggested assassinating Hugo Chavez. I guess he had stocks in Venezuelan oil.lol

Idiot or not, he is right on this issue and it took courage to break away from the religious fanatics.

Yeah, he's "going crazy" by pointing out the obvious. The only people who think it is different than what he stated before are a bit "crazy" themselves.

Pat Robertson has been open about "old earth" views for some time. Shoot, this website here even mentions it (wasn't created yesterday, man).

Notice that this quote does not come from a godless, atheist infidel. No, it comes from a leading Evangelical authority. He finds that an old earth causes no problem with the Bible. And many leading Evangelical scholars have been publicly open to an old-earth view, including Lee Strobel, John Ankerberg, Pat Robertson, William Lane Craig, Hugh Ross, Hank Hannegraff, and Francis Schaeffer.

Robertson has said some nutty things over the years, so even if hes come around with some degree of sanity doesn't wipe his slate clean....

But all in all, I don't give a crap what he thinks or says....thats between him and his followers....

Religion doesn't scare me like it does you.....I can ignore it......we have a constitutional right to believe what we want....and, unlike you, I respect that
Socialism scares me more....that will have a direct on me and those rights....

Indecently, I never voted for or supported Robertson for anything........but I have supported Mormans, (Harry Reid, once)(Romney, once)
Quakers(Nixon)....Catholics(Kennedy)....Methodists (GWBush)....etc....

I'll leave the bigotry to you guys....
