Dumbass of the Day: Pat Robertson Blames Sikh Temple Shooting on Atheists, Even Though The Sikhs Believe in God And The Deceased Shooter Was A Neo-Nazi, A Hate Group Tied to Christianity!!!

On his 700 Club program Monday morning, televangelist Pat Robertson came to the conclusion that Sunday morning’s Sikh temple massacre in Oak Creek, Wisc., was ultimately because “atheists hate God.”

“What is it?” Robertson wondered aloud. “Is it satanic? Is it some spiritual thing?”

“People who are atheists, they hate God, they hate the expression of God,” he continued. “And they are angry with the world, angry with themselves, angry with society and they take it out on innocent people who are worshipping God.”

“Whether it’s a Sikh temple, or a Baptist church, or a Catholic church, or a Muslim mosque — whatever it is — I just abhor this kind of violence, and it’s the the kind of thing that we should do something about,” he said. “But what do you do? Well, you talk about the love of God and hope it has some impact,” the TV preacher recommended.

What is particularly striking about Robertson’s conclusion is that, as of yet, there has been no evidence that the alleged gunman Wade Michael Page was an atheist. In fact, neo-Nazism and white supremacy movements often encompass a form of Christianity that emphasizes racial purity and nationalism.

Good Lord, Pat Robertson! You must be suffering from epic OMIF disease: Open Mouth, Insert Foot! You keep this up, Westboro will be calling you to help them protest at military funerals.

Anyways, how are you still here with us? You must’ve got Dick Cheney’s former heart.

Between this and your other comments, you have been bestowed what will be a daily honor: Dumbass of the Day.

Congratulations, Dumbass…
