My point is, Robertson’s a huckster and nobody should be taking him seriously. He does a disservice to organized religion and I don’t think he really believes it himself.

What I am opposed to is the hypocrisy of <em>the Church</em> sactioning the killing of anyone. These guys are the saem guys who picket abortion clinics demanding that unborn life be protected while in the same breath advocating the murder of another human being. That is hypocrisy. That is what I can't stand. Let me make the point that I am not opposed to state sponsored assassinations. What I am opposed to is the hypocrisy of the Church sactioning the killing of anyone.

I was raised a Catholic and had eight years of schooling with the Sisters of Mercy. My view on religion is that they are just something created by man to gain power. One thing to remember is that religion has been the cause of more deaths throughout history than anything else... Regarding assassinations I'm willing to go that route, especially if it will save lives. WWII might have ended much quicker if Hitler had been successfully assassinated. Regarding Pat Robertson and the rest of the television evangelist, I can really do without them. To me they are just money grabbers living off human emotion. Look back at ole Tammy Faye...
