Would you kill a man?
Entertainment, People & Places August 28th, 2005
I’ve been catching up on The Daily Show, and they’ve really been going at Pat Robertson for his comments and prayers that the American government should assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. I understand Robertson’s arguments, and I think I understand killing in the name of religion or sacrificing one to save many.
What I don’t understand is how a religious man turns to organized, premeditated murder instead of praying for reform, or enlightenment, or some other resolution short of breaking, oh, say, one of the ten commandments? What’s next, coveting his late wife’s ass?
Or, maybe it’s just a side, sneer comment made by a stupid man and blown way out of proportion by the liberal media and the media that likes making fun of the liberal media? I know I’ve made comments about killing people, and didn’t really mean them. Of course, I don’t own a cable network and have a show where I preach and instruct to the world.
Also, today, I learned from Animal Planet that wolverines are cute like sea otters. Thank you TV.
