Pat's phony diatribes


What Pat thinks of you...  (Courtesy: Alex Entwege)

I have to admit, I'm a Jesus-follower fan.  Be it Falwell, Robertson, Schuller, Roberts... hell, I watched this one guy, Gene Scott, just staring at his video camera, totally silent, for 45 straight minutes!  I was fascinated by this guy.  The only sound you heard (or dared to hear) was him puffing away on his cee-gar.

Now, before you haul out the butterfly nets, my interest was (and is ) of the psychology of these people.  I have no interest in singing Onward Christian Soldiers, or any of their liturgies.

But then we have the particular problem of Pat Robertson. You see, he fancies himself not only as a Christian minister,but as a world political leader. In fact, he championed two leaders - Charles Taylor



important...

In our sister blog, "Emily's virtual rocket" there were two stories, one about a murder, one about a molestation.  In other cases such as this, *please* turn them into the police.  They may be transsexual, but they are murders and/or molesters FIRST.  Put them in jail, where they so richly deserve to be.

A very funny blog!

As I am busy perusing the various blogs people submit, once in a great while I see a perfect gem. His name is Don Austin, and I salute him!
-----------------
ITM,
Deuteronomy 22:13-21
A marriage shall be considered valid if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed.
Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A
friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not
Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of Menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem
is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it
creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my
neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I
smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally
obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there
'degrees' of abomination?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some
wiggle-room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the
hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden
by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig
makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to
death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep
with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can
help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.
