Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.
Fran Lebowitz US writer and humorist (1950 - ) Just had to look it up, Charlie...As for Pat Robertson, he is as flawed as any of us...he puts his foot in his mouth a bit too much and he is in a position where many people hear him....but at least he does not talk about wine too much, eh?  BTW...Chris can still call me...I want to talk to you guys. The Brothers enigma!  It's not about how much you know, but what you do with what you know. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Convictions are very different from intentions. Convictions are something God gives us that we have to do. Intentions are things that we ought to do, but we never follow through with them.

This
link by Charles is interesting! Notice Hugo Chavez profile here. This populist leader, who never missed an opportunity to address the nation, once described oil executives as living in "luxury chalets where they perform orgies, drinking whisky". No wonder Pat hates him so much! Church leaders in this overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country fared no better. "They do not walk in... the path of Christ," said Mr Chavez at one stage. How many church leaders DO walk in the path of Christ? Interesting issue. This message has been edited by Phatboy, 08-31-2005 04:51 AM

I love old threads. The perspectives can be compared from what was happening then to what is happening now.
Take this article from NPR:
Trump Scorns Mainstream News, But Not The Christian Broadcasting Network
Look at old Pat! Still living and breathing...and Trump cozying up to the evangelical voter base... Some quotes from the NPR article:
Brody says many conservative Christians feel a kinship with Trump the outsider who's ridiculed by the elites. He says they see in Trump a nostalgia for a time when many white evangelicals felt American culture was more explicitly aligned with Christian values. "He, in essence, has become their ... moral crusader, in a way," Brody says. "Which is so wild that a guy like this would be in the role of moral crusader who would have ever thought Donald Trump, of all people, would have been that guy?"
While Trump routinely scorns much of the mainstream press, he's been content to take his message directly to his base on social media, and on CBN. Trump knows how to market himself as a Populist, that's for sure. As for being a Christian? I see no evidence so far....Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith
