Robertson is one of the sickest men in America. He is one of the pharises. Robertson is one of the wealthiest religious folk in this country and has made his money on the backs of unsuspecting and undiscerning Christians. SOmeone should ask Robertson if he would give up his lifestyle and walk in the shoes of Jesus...........maybe live in a barn or two and spend his time administering to the needy. I'd like to hear his answer. I would also like to hear what he has to say about the verse in the Bible that claims it is harder for a rich man to get into heaven than it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle. In otherwords, Pat Robertson is on his way to Hell if the verse is to be interpreted as it reads. Robertson has used GOd to make himself rich and powerful..........He certainly doesn't live in the shadow of the Christ that is described in the Bible.

Pat Robertson says he fears Muslims in US government By Tom Hamburger, Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON -- Televangelist and onetime presidential candidate Pat Robertson said Sunday that he would be wary of appointing Muslims to top positions in the U.S. government, including judgeships. His comments on ABC's "This Week" drew heated responses from Muslim leaders who decried them as racist and inaccurate. Robertson, who helped found the Christian Coalition and launched a brief presidential bid in 1988, said that if he were ever elected president he would not appoint Muslims to serve in his Cabinet and that he doesn't favor Muslims serving as judges. "They have said in the Koran there's a war against all the infidels," he said. "Do you want somebody like that sitting as a judge? I wouldn't." The comments drew fire immediately from Muslim organizations. "Pat Robertson has taken his far-right-wing rhetoric to absurd levels," said Arsalan Iftikhar, national legal director for the Council on American Islamic Relations. "He is trying to perpetuate this notion that Islam is a monolithic entity inherently at odds with modernity and democracy. "That is absolutely false. ... American Muslims have long been contributing members of American society, and I guarantee to Mr. Robertson that Muslims will one day become part of the federal bench--whether or not he likes it." Another conservative Christian leader, Rev. Lou Sheldon, said he was inclined to agree with Robertson's view of Islam. The founder of the Traditional Values Coalition urged Islamic leaders to clarify their views. Also Sunday, Robertson praised former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, saying that despite his views on gay rights and abortion, Giuliani would make "a good president." Robertson said he didn't think Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) would run for president. "I just don't see him as a future president," Robertson said. Sheldon said Giuliani would have difficulty drawing support from the Republican base unless he adjusted his views on gay rights and abortion. Sheldon praised Frist as a potential candidate and said he expects the Tennessee Republican to run. chicagotribune.com chi-0505020136may02,1,2707617.story
