Wrath

Gee, it looks like God is smiting people for Pat Robertson again. Frankly I’m surprised. Not that I’m a fan of Sharon or anything, but I just don’t quite get the connection. Or, rather, I think ‘the connection’ could be made for any bad thing happening to anyone, and so probably there is no connection at all. Three children died of bird flu in Turkey yesterday too. I wonder what THEY did? God evidently decided to punish Lou Rawls for something as well - his death was announced in the news today too. Presumably Pat Robertson’s own parents are deceased. I wonder what sin they committed to deserve this punishment, this ‘wrath of God?’ The tsunami was a tragedy, probably because Pat didn't know anyone there, but the hurricane in New Orleans was God smiting the heathen. There must be sufficient paid-up 700 Club memberships in Florida that THEIR hurricanes are just random acts of nature though. Good grief.

Life is hard enough sometimes. We don’t need paranoid schizophrenics making their sick pronouncements on our news. Someone needs to take this guy gently off in a straight jacket and put him someplace where he can do no more harm.
