Expert on heat. Flip-flopper.
Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said on Thursday the wave of scorching temperatures across the United States has converted him into a believer in global warming.
“We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels,” Robertson said on his “700 Club” broadcast. “It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air.”
The 76-year-old Robertson told viewers that was “the most convincing evidence I’ve seen on global warming in a long time.”
The issue has divided conservative Christians.
20 #20…Mike Voice….Ohhhhhh, is that so?
1. No, joshua…you are #20
2. I take it you overlooked the word “probably” [grin]
#21….Mike Voice….well crap…now I can’t count or read numbers.
Pat Robertson is a necessary evil. He is an important tool (yea, I know) to help illustrate that every dogma has its’ own extreme rightwing nut jobs, and somehow these freaks are able to capture the hearts and minds of a group of followers. The sheep that follow these whacko’s are either intellectual sloths, or are mentally incapable of critical thinking.
All the arguments in the world, aren’t going to change the congregation’s mind. I’m convinced that the only way to ever convert the flock, is when they themselves start to realize how crazy their leader has become.
I’ve come to believe that the best way to handle Pat is to just set back and enjoy the show. I say, give him all the slack (rope) that you can, he’ll hang himself.
You have to admit that some of the stuff he says, is at least as funny as any of Steve Colbert’s jokes. Pat can say some of the craziest sh*t, and deadpan better than Steven Wright, the guy is a comic genius.
How ironic! This nut believes in God on the basis of faith and the word of a book but he has to actually personally “witness” the effects of extreme heat on his skin to believe in the evidence of global warming and the very strong science and logic behind it. These religious fools will definitely believe in something that is very unlikely true to “save themselves” but they need lots of obvious devastating type proof to believe in something that is likely true which will make it impossible to save anyone by reversing course once it is obvious enough to absolutely prove true with irrefutable evidence.
“Armageddon” is the self-fulfilling prophecy of stupid people, selfish people and people in denial. It’ll be too late by the time all these people come around especially since they’ll revert back to their original beliefs once the season changes and the “proof” becomes less obvious and apparent to them.
Now let me preach to you about the fact that I’m certain ‘the Easter bunny’ exists and his few rules that he wants us to follow including devoting useless hours of one way conversations with him and the reward system that goes with it. (No proof required here?…yet it’s accepted easily for the sake of being responsibly safe [in the afterlife]…go figure).
The world will start cooling off on Dec. 21, 2012. Meanwhile, I’m planting orange trees in Alaska.
Creationism and Global Warming – two peas in a pod.
