Pat Robertson responds to reports that the Saudis murdered a journalist by telling everyone to calm down and focus on the important things, like the lucrative arms deal we have with them.


"“We’ve got an arms deal that everybody wanted a piece of,” he said. “It’ll be a lot of jobs, a lot of money come to our coffers. It’s not something you want to blow up willy-nilly.”"

which might be a direct quote from some lesser known gospel?

Would Jesus ride a donkey... or a Lamborghini?

sigh...


"There was a time in Christendom
The road to God was hard to tread
'til charlatans in leisure suits
Saw dollars dancing in their heads


I heard her say she struck a deal
Her faith will bring in money bags
I'm heading for the mercy seat
My goodness looks like dirty rags"

My favourite was from the 80s, when Oral Roberts told his TV congregation that the Lord had told him that if he did not reach his target for his latest fundraising drive he "would be called home". Or put in plain language, he accused God of demanding money with menaces.

I did wonder how it was possible that most of his followers didn't seem to recognize this for what it was?
