Even those of us that are suspicious of “religion” can feel that whenever two or more are gathered in good nature, the situation becomes more than the sum of its parts. That seems obvious to us.

Call it God, call it “spirit,” call it Jesus or Buddha, your beliefs are 100% valid and respected. But of course, don’t tell us God talked to you about a Congressional hearing and he’s telling you that it’s “gonna get bad, man.”

One’s God can give one strength, can soothe pain, and definitely make more sense out of this world, again we absolutely respect that.

We feel the need to emphasize this because we do not want good people to believe we’re mocking them. That is simply not happening.

But this is just both hilarious and very very sad. Yes, it is somewhat hilarious that people can be conned into sending in money but it’s also a sad tragedy that people can be conned into sending money and believe that a person every bit as human as them had a phone call with God. Especially when God said something that might make these viewers believe it is their job to produce something “dramatic” blessed by God:

Televangelist and disintegrating marionette Pat Robertson predicted on Monday that God told will manifest “something dramatic” between now and Wednesday, January 6, when Congress will certify President-Elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in the 2020 election.

That is offensive and somewhat dangerous. If it is interpreted as a call to action by just 2% of his listeners it is extremely dangerous. It is mass stochastic terrorism, the type we’ve reported upon before. Think about Walmart in El Paso, an entirely foreseeable lone wolf called to action by Trump and Trump’s priorities.

So as we close let us say this with pride and joy, we believe God can be a powerful force for the right person with the right relationship with the spirit that moves them. Wonderful. We’re a little envious.

But Robertson isn’t that. And everyone knows it except the people that tune in daily and send money.
