Pat Robertson had a special message for residents of Dover, Pa., today after voters there elected to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial.

Robertson made the comment after Lee Webb of CBN News delivered a report on how residents in Dover voted in eight new Democratic board members, replacing all eight current members who had voted for a policy that required students in ninth-grade biology classes to hear a statement on intelligent design before hearing lessons on evolution. Webb then asked Robertson what he thought about the vote.

Here was Robertson's response.

"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there."

The new school board members have said that they are not against intelligent design, but that they just don't want it taught in science class.

Intelligent design backers have consistently argued that the teaching is purely scientific and has nothing to do with religion.

"I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city."
What a douchebag.
In other news: I had no idea that God had a definitive term of office! Will he come back in 4 years and challenge the incumbent?

i voted god for best dressed deity, and bad shit still happens to me

What gets me when people like Pat Robertson say that about people who believe in Darwin and evolution is that Charles Darwin himself believed in Intellegent Design as well. He thought that a higher power created everything initially, but nature took over afterwards.

But some of the more fanatical religious people don't bother to know that.

Pat Robertson is a total douche.
