Pat Robertson Admits To Existence Of Global Warming (!!)
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — The Reverend Pat Robertson says he hasn't been a believer in global warming in the past, but this summer's record-breaking heat is "making a convert out of me."

On his “700 Club" broadcast, Robertson said, ”It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air."

Switching sides on an issue that divides evangelical Christians, Robertson said, "We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels."

5. I heard that this morning on AAR...
still can't quite believe it.

First some preachers start talking about how politics has no place in churce, and now this?

I can't help thinking there's a punchline of some sort on the way...

7. All I can say is...
that no matter how much I despise the man, I hope all those people who blindly listen to and follow him will take it to heart just how disastrous Global warming is for the future of humanity.

10. But he'll probably blame gay tolerance...
and recommend fervent prayer teams, plus some good wholesome gay persecution, as the cure.
