A Person of Little Faith

(4)

Pat's logic seems to be more or less acceptable at first glance: zap them before they zap you. But is this 'real Christianity?' I think not.

Don't get me wrong: I am a Zionist. I think that Israel is the rightful abode of all Jews everywhere, and as such it needs to be protected at all costs. In fact I would love to see all the world's Jews living happily in Israel. Every single one of them. Walter Gerash included.

But having said that I cannot resist pointing out that Pat Robertson seems to be A Person of Little Faith in regard to God's designs on Israel. Pat seems to believe that if Iran develops Nuclear weapons and launches them against Israel then Israel will be destroyed. But what about God?

Does Pat actually believe that God - the JEWISH God - will allow Israel to become a radioactive waste dump? Does Pat actually believe that God would fail to strike down all Iranian nuclear missles? Does Pat actually believe that the Jewish God WHTZSNM would stand by impassivly while the Sons of Allah destroyed the Promised Land? And all the Chosen People therein?

One wonders how deep runs the 'faith' of Pat Robertson.
