President Hugo Chavez is responsible for countless human rights violations. He is currently holding many political prisoners, all of whom were imprisoned by the Venezuelan government on trumped-up charges in cases with manifest due process violations.

It’s exactly actions like this that are a TOTAL turn off of religion to me. In my opinion it’s all about power and who’s got the most. It reminds me of two imature school kids squabling over who’s dad is the strongest.

No matter what some of you “good guys” are saying that Pat Robertson does not represent the average good peace-loving Christian, I still feel there is a great deal of Robertson in Donald Rumsfeld.

Abu Sinan, I read in the JT today that this man has 863,000 regular viewers. Where did you get 4-5 million followers? Is that a mailing list?

Sorry, Andy, I meant to agree with you on the blogosphere in general and ADD that the other Christian blogs I read blasted him as well. I don’t read ABC news, so I don’t know who these others are.

Rachel, if you ever listen to Pat Robertson, he feels that as a Christian, he knows what is best for you and the rest of the Jewish people. As a matter of fact, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more fanatical Zionist that Pat Robertson.

What has bothered me for some time now is how certain elements of the Jewish world will ally themselves with these people. Sure, they give money and political support to Israel, they also believe that when Jesus comes you will all have to convert or go to hell. Their self appointment mission is to bring the world to an end, with the epi-center of all of the destruction to be Israel itself. How could a Jew support such a person?

I have seen Jews trying to justify such support based on the idea that they need the support now and that the ends justify the means. I dont buy it. Christians of Robertsons ilk are very intolerant. They are inly supporting Jews and Israeli because they want to use them for their purposes. Ask any of Robertson’s or other evangelical Christian Zionists and they will clearly tell you that all Jews are going to hell unless they accept Jesus. With a belief like that how can any Jew think that these people want the best for the Jewish people are for Israel?

The question we all should be asking here is, “Are you going to feed the monster of confusion and become a member of the mass hysteria by jumping onto one side or another, which leads to fanaticism, or are you going to try and make some kind of sense out of the information you have been given and allow it to help you bridge your knowledge into wisdom?”

When we close our minds to the knowledge placed before us, choosing to become offended rather than enlightened, we take a step closer to becoming like those being damned in these blogs. Is it your desire to feed the fire of injustice or subdue the powers of evil?

What Pat Robertson said was completely idiotic, to say the least, but can’t you see you are contributing to the radicals and encouraging an attitude of blind opinion by making more out of it than it is. He DID NOT say, “Kill Chavez”, he made a stupid comment within a statement that showed us he used “poor judgement in his choice of words” and is thereby not quite as perfect as he would like us to think he is. But please use your minds and your good judgement and call the guy an idiot as he should be called. None of us are perfect. “Let he is who without sin cast the first stone.”

Don’t incite radical thinking, invite common sense.

Kinzi said:

The conservative Christian blogosphere I read was unanimous in lambasting him as Andy Carvin quoted.

Actually, that’s not what I said. I said the blogosphere in general was universal in lambasting him. In contrast, every national-level Christian conservative leader contacted by ABC News refused to comment at all. Some later came out and said, “Pat’s apologized, we should accept it and move on.” That hardly sounds like they condemned his remarks…. -andy
