Outraged

I know I said that I wasn't going to post until September 6th, but my outrage got the better of me.

A fellow follower of Christ, Pat Robertson, called for the assasination of Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez. Being a major leader in the Christian community (especially evangelical), Pat has the ear of many of the Bible belt. It is a sad day when such a leader calls for death. I would hope that the Christian community will rise up and ask that Pat Robertson apologize for his words that are so contrary to Christ's ("Peter, put away the sword"). Everyone makes mistakes, and the Christian community will extend grace to Mr. Robertson, but I pray that he will fix what he has broken.

p.s. In no way do I support Hugo Chavez, he is a man that does not need to be in power, but assisination is never the call of a follower of Christ.
