Thread: The Depths of Pat Robertson's Idiocy Is Breathtaking

Also, he was the pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ for some 35 years. That's pretty devout for somebody not a Christian.

I have not mentioned him to be a muslim cleric so I am not sure you are actually saying anything by that statement. What I am saying is that Wright's statements and some muslim cleric's statements are brushed off as freedom of speech where wen Pat says something, he gets criticized much more heavily.
As to the devoutness of Wright. Clearly you do not understand the tenants of Christianity nor does he. For all of his "education" he clearly can't interpret the Bible or else he would know it is a sin to take the Lord's name in vain. Yet he did it multiple times and in the pulpit of all places. He is only highly regarded in the militant theologian circles and most likely was given his degrees, not awarded them based on merit. He certainly is not regarded as an intelligent man outside of his own circles.
The good news for him is that I am sure God has a very special place reserved in Hell for him and I say this with no apology. I will not be the one judging him after he dies, but I know what the Bible says about men like him. As for his supposed church, God commands Christians to love ALL people and to spread the love of Jesus Christ to ALL PEOPLE, not push a predominately militant agenda. The trinity church is certainly not "Of Christ" there website and mission demonstrates that. He tells the poor of Chicago that someone else is to blame for their state and to hate them because God hates them too. Yet, he lives in a multi-million dollar home in a white neighborhood. As far as I am concerned he is as dangerous and malicious as any terrorist of any faith and I wish he were in a foreign country being hunted rather than living here and spreading hatred. To me he is lower than a rabid animal. A few months in Abu Ghraib would have done him a lot of good.
