A paragon of sagely thought out words, Pat Robertson was quoted as saying, "This is a sign of God's fury at tortoises. First of all, they're slow and lazy. Secondly, it was a trip to the Galapagos that inspired Darwin's devil worship."

I'm no friend of the man who wanted to kill a South American President; but, I am a fan of the truth. So me the quote.

Dude, it's a joke. If I made it any more obvious that it's a joke, it would cease to be a joke.

Well, down goes my theory about there being an absolute limit for human idiocy.

Pat Robertson, once again, pushes that limit further. Is there no end to human stupidity?:eek:

Well, there is the fact that you thought I was serious...

No end in sight! :D

Dude, it's a joke.

Well, you had me going.

I mean, you should put up a disclaimer or something. No matter how retarded a statement sounds, you just can't discount the fact that Robertson COULD have said that.

Can I be blamed if I actually believed a man who said 9/11 and Kathrina were God's vengeance upon those darned sodomite atheist communist hippies could also say that a volcanic eruption is divine retribution for those tortoises depraved and filthy lifestyles? I think not:p

If you didn't tell anybody, it would have pissed off more people than when I said that Robertson was running for the senate.

True, but that would then have eliminated all my smug amusement at the fact that I had to point out that it was a joke.

Pat Robertson has reason to be jealous of those tortises. The males have two cocks and and their sex must go on for hours.

Pfft. Go ahead and be smugly amused all you want. It's not like your "quote" was far from the guy's usual statements.

If you think god hates tortoises you should hear how he feels about geckos. Something about not saving 15% or something.

It gives me a good chance to laugh at myself. I thought the guy was quite capable of the statement. Can't stop laughing.

While I did catch that you were joking, I had to read the link first. But accepting it as plausable that Pat Robertson would say such a thing isn't exactly superlativly stupid. Frankly, if he had said it, it wouldn't have even been the dumbest or craziest thing he ever said.

I'd say the dumbest would be when he quoted a Conservative Satire site and repeated their joke as literal truth (the joke being that Barbara Boxer said she always votes the way Chuck Schumer tells her to).

The craziest would be when he went to a fountain that was decorated with carvings of Vedic gods that was used as a local water source in an Indian village, and he said that the locals were using this fountain to bathe in a demon's semen.

You'd think Pat would be fond of tortoises. After all, one was used to kill Plato- and he was gay!
I think he was. Anyway, he was Greek and we all know what filthy practises those Greeks get up to so he's just as bad as being gay.

So, you're God, right? I have a question or two for you:


Is it true that you hate each and every one of us, and that we're all going to hell because you're a darn sociopath and just won't be bothered with us in paradise? Is it?:confused:

I don't need none of that fancy learning or readin', and I certainly don't need no wise acres telling me what to click on, and what not to click on! I figgir'd out how to use the internet box on my own! An' only broke 3 keyboards figgering it out.
