Pat Robertson vs. Chavez
I still can’t believe what I heard when I saw the clip where Pat Robertson calls the US government to kill Chavez. This is a man that’s supposed to be a man of God. Do you think that Jesus would be happy to hear that his followers call for assassination? (especially when you talk about a man that represents no threat, whatsoever, for the US) I am not American, but that kind of statement is just wrong no matter what country you come from.
The whole thing is based on lies. The first and most important one is calling Chavez a dictator. Let's not forget that Chavez was chosen by his people. He won the elections with something like 70% of the votes. Therefore, attacking the president of Venezuela would mean attacking the people, the country. This "man of God" should respect the will of the people of Venezuela.
The biggest problem isn’t if Pat Robertson thinks he’s right. The biggest problem would be if other people thought he was right. He is creating a culture of hatred towards anybody that doesn’t share his “right” point of view. Like I just said, I don’t think that hatred and assassination is what Jesus wanted. I’m not the biggest religious person on the planet (I don’t really go to church, even though I was raised catholic), but I know that that’s not Jesus’ message.
I have a lot more thoughts on this matter, but I’d like to see what people have to say about it first.
