Recently, the bumbling buffoon Pat Robertson, who calls himself a pastor, but is rather more a pester than a pastor, made an idiotic remark that a man was justified in divorcing his wife after she became ill with alzheimer's disease, and he was lonely.
I agree with another blogger: this is a repudiation of the gospel of Christ.
In contrast, watch this video about a man who left his job to spend all of his time with his stricken wife.
If there's any divorce to happen, it needs to be the divorce between the church as a whole and Pat Robertson (and all the other prosperity-gospel nuts like him).
I made the following comment in my Sunday School lesson last Sunday: "Barack Obama is not nearly the threat to the church in America as is Joel Osteen." I thought there might be some disagreement (you see, Obama isn't very popular here in Texas). There was none. The first comment I heard was, "Amen. Preach it."
Now I think I'd be almost as correct to go back and re-state the comment with Robertson's name in place of Osteen's.
