Letter to the Editor
After listening to Pat Robertson openly advocating assassination I'm not sure who scares me more, him, or the one million Christian followers he has that think the way he does. This is why we Realists find Christians scary. We are watching to see if the Christian community comes out against this or continues to remain silent. The way I read the Bible, advocating to murder is wrong. Is this some sort of Christian fatwa?

This is why Christians are so scary to us Atheists. The want to be as radical as Muslims and they have this total disconnect with reality to where the million followers don't get it why murder is wrong, even when it's right in their own Bible.

TV evangelist Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition and the 700 Club, is calling for Bush to assassinate democratically elected Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez stating, "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... and I don't think any oil shipments will stop."
I find it disturbing that a pro-life Christian leader who supposedly believes in "Thou shalt not kill" would be so comfortable advocating murder for oil. This is a man who supposedly has the spirit of Jesus Christ in his heart and a role model for Christian morality and politics. Is this the way a spirit filled Christian acts? If so, I will have no part of it. People like Pat Robertson make me thank God I'm an Atheist.
