Reason #265,381 Why Pat Robertson is a Jerk

People For the American Way has it, by way of the ASZ:

On today’s 700 Club, Rev. Pat Robertson took the opportunity to strongly rebuke voters in Dover, PA who removed from office school board members who supported teaching faith-based "intelligent design" and instead elected Democrats who opposed bringing up the possibility of a Creator in the school system’s science curriculum.

Rev. Robertson warned the people of Dover that God might forsake the town because of the vote.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover. If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city. And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there."

It seems to me that petty, vindictive, and spiteful are generally not words one would use to describe God no matter what your beliefs. Yet that's the picture Robertson is painting here. He makes God sound more like a 5 year old who's been told 'no' than the all-powerful Creator of the universe.

I think it says much more about Robertson than anything else.
