The Terrible Aim Of The Hand of God

Yesterday, on his daily nut job broadcast, Dr. Marion "Pat" Robertson said that God had struck down Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, for, as he put it, "dividing up God's land". Funny, Marion always led us to believe that America is God's country, now it's Israel? Always one to seize and exploit any tragedy, from Hurricane Katrina to 9/11, and use them to advance his own personal agenda, Mr. Robertson said that the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin was also God's work. This from the man who called on the US to break it's own laws and "take out" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who was standing in the way of a business deal Robertson was trying to arrange in that country.
If I were a Christian, I would be terribly offended. As a human, I still am, but isn't God supposed to be infallible? If God was trying to take out Ariel Sharon, wouldn't he have done it in one fell swoop, rather than letting Sharon linger on and possibly recover? The way I see it, Sharon is 77 years old, immensely overweight, and trying to run a country while dealing with the stress of an investigation into bribes he had taken. The man was a walking stroke waiting to happen.
Why is Robertson so anxious to not let the Palestinians (some of who are Christian) not have their own homeland? According to scattered unrelated passages in the New testament, once all of "Zion" is again under Jewish rule, then Jesus himself will come down from Heaven and snatch up all the Christians (yeah, right) up to Heaven (can't happen quick enough for me)where they will all float on the clouds and watch the tribulations as the Jews, Muslims, and all other non-believers fight for the Earth. This makes Scientology seem almost credible. And so Robertson and his believers all applaud the wars the Bush administration dragged the US into as it serves their own need for a Greater Israel. I guess no one told Marion that they're all about the oil.
