Pat Robertson, will you PLEASE GO HOME!

By Nate LaClaire

A few months back my Dad and I discussed the fact that Pat Robertson seems to be shooting himself in the foot quite often lately. Well, apparently we are not the only ones who feel that way. Tom Ponchak has started a petition entitled Christians Against Pat Speaking (CAPS). I have great respect for Pat Robertson and consider myself honored to have walked within 6 feet of him as I left a restaurant after a wonderful lunch last April, but his recent inflamatory comments are not progressing the cause of Christ. As Christians, it is our duty to love others (remember the “greatest commandment”?), but Rev. Robertson’s recent behavior demonstrates everything but love.
