Ugh


So Pat Robertson has recommended the US assassinate the President of Venezuela. Really. That's not a misinterpretation of something he said, that's what he said. Now wouldn't it have been easy to start with some generic condemnations of a militant religious cleric calling for the assassination of a western leader. I would be all indignant and make comments about radical religious terrorists, it would seem like I was talking about a Muslim and then drop the bomb that it was (gasp) a Christian! I tend to not take too much of what Pat Robertson says seriously- Oooh I just hit the moment when my cold medicine kicked in- but others do. A lot of those others are non-Christians. Isn't that great?
In another news story some girl climbed into the rafters of Fenway Park at a Rolling Stones concert and fell- not to her death- to her broken ankles and wrist. She was climbing to get a better view of the stage. That's pretty dumb too
Christians say all sin is the same. Stealing is as bad as lying is as bad killing is as bad as adultery. Does that transfer to stupidity?
