After an interview with Bernard Lewis about the “clash of civilizations” (aka: my god vs. your god) on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson went on to espouse that “Islam is not a religion”, but a “political system bent on world domination” that disguises itself as religion.
Methinks ole Pat is getting soft with age as anyone with half a brain should immediately realize that his description of Islam is, in fact, a near-perfect description of his own brand of Christianity. Even more amusing he ends by stating that we atheists should align ourselves with the likes of him because the big scary Muslims are worse than his kind. Isn’t this the first time Pat has implicitly admitted that his brand of Christianity is in fact a bad thing?
Here’s a funny clip from Family Guy ripping on Pat Robertston and Jerry Falwell. The set up is what while searching for missing his teddy bear Stewie tells David that without him he’ll be lonelier than Pat Robertson after the rapture.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (May 26) – Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson says he has leg-pressed 2,000 pounds, but some say he’d be in a pretty tough spot if he tried.
The “700 Club” host’s feat of strength is recounted on the Web site of his Christian Broadcasting Network, in a posting headlined “How Pat Robertson Leg Pressed 2,000 Pounds.”
According to the CBN Web site, Robertson worked his way up to lifting a ton with the help of his physician, who is not named. The posting does not say when the lift occurred, but a CBN spokeswoman released photos to The Associated Press that she said showed Robertson lifting 2,000 pounds in 2003, when Robertson was 73. He is now 76.
The Web posting said two men loaded the leg-press machine with 2,000 pounds “and then let it down on Mr. Robertson, who pushed it up one rep and let it go back down again.” The Web site said several people witnessed the event, and shows video of Robertson leg-pressing what appears to be 1,000 pounds.
Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the 2,000-pound assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.
“Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?” Travis asked.
Andy Zucker, a strength-training coach at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, said leg presses of more than 1,000 pounds represent “a Herculean effort, and 2,000 pounds is a whole other story.” … LA Times
It is an interesting and demonstrable fact, that all children are atheists and were religion not inculcated into their minds, they would remain so. — Ernestine Rose
