Attention! This Is God Speaking

I haven't blogged religion yet here, but there's a first time for everything. What caught my attention was this tidbit from Pat Robertson. Dear old Pat is telling everyone that God told him we're about to get nuked by the terrorists, or something like that.

Now ordinarilly, I wouldn't weigh in on something like this, being a mere ex-Catholic of little brain. However, I have a bit of special inside knowledge here as I've spoken to God myself and let me tell you, I'm really beginning to wonder about the guy. He's like an evil coworker or something. I talk to him and everything is upbeat, love thy neighbor, do unto others, do good works etc, etc. You know, constructive criticism. But then I hear he's telling people like Pat Robertson and his pals that the end is near, apocalypse now, or maybe just a little later. And worse than that, he's telling them that he doesn't really like people like me, that we're all wrong about everything and we're all going to hell.

And the stuff he tells bin Laden - don't get me started. He gets together with those guys and I hear they have a giant hit list. Now, I don't think I'm at the top of the list, but still - a hit list? What's he thinking? That I'm not going to hear about this?

People will tell you that God is great, allahu akbar and all that, but I'm beginning to think he's just about the biggest two-face ever. He just tells people what they want to hear, and hopes it will all work out in the end. Don't get me wrong - we all have our problems and I'm sure He has his. But if you listen to some of the stuff he tells people, he just doesn't sound like much of a saviour to me.
