    I classify myself as the believing type, yet every time I hear about Pat Robertson (which is rare) he's saying something that makes me roll my eyes. He (like many others), are little more than modern-day Pharisees.

    Why does this guy even get a moment's notice? The true Christians were those that jumped on planes to give free medical support, and the millions who are giving generously to support a suffering people. Religious people are saving lives as we discuss this, and don't care about the spotlight, like this glory-monger.

    Saying "The True $RELIGIOUS_GROUP" is a bad idea and divisive. Within every religion there are multiple sects. Fighting over things like who are the True Muslims is one of the reasons the Sunnis and Shi'ites have been kicking the crap out of each other for so many years.

    People like Pat Robertson put a black mark on the overall belief system that Christians believe in. The best thing they can do is denounce him and show him up by doing some good, which they are already doing.
