PAT ROBERTSON ADVOCATES U.S. ASSASSINATE CHAVEZ

Pat Robertson disgraces the cause of Christ.

Media Matters is reporting that Pat Robertson has suggested on the 700 Club that the President of Venezuela should be assassinated.

For Robertson to make such a suggestion on a broadcast that advertises itself as "Christian" is more than disgraceful, it is disgusting.

Robertson and other extremists have hijacked our faith and they are destroying the credibility of the gospel in the eyes of the world.

There ought to be some way to distinguish Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus from those who wear the label while ignoring the teachings of Christ and defaming the name of Jesus -- particularly when they literally advocate violence on a broadcast beamed around the world.

I'm with Dr. Bruce. Henceforth I pledge to refer to such people (the latter) as "so-called Christians."
