Pat Robertson says it's ok to ignore parts of the Bible.

RE: Pat Robertson says it's ok to ignore parts of the Bible.
Cutting through the equivocation and theist dodging bullshit:



What was said was:

Quote:"Over the holiday, I heard that America was founded as a Christian nation. If that's the case, why did we allow slavery?"

Robertson's answer was:

"Well, I think there was a blind spot. You know, uh, ah, ah, like it or not, if you read the bible, in the old testament, slavery was permitted, uh, you'd go into a nation [unintelligible] you, a country would go into another country and, and enslave the population, and those people were put to work. "
(Woman: "use them for....labor")
Robertson: "....Use them,...and, a-, a-, as commodities. And so we have...moved in our conception of the value of human beings over the years, until we realize slavery was terribly wrong."

So we have a couple of interesting things going on here. All of course within the box of the x-tard belief system. One is a problem for Dreck, who claims that we are not in a position to question "gawd's law". Of course, claiming that slavery is wrong is against the sanction of this mythical being, so Dreck can have lots of fun defending slavery.

Of course, barring that, if he wishes to argue that his mythical gawd-thang changed its mind, he runs afoul of the claim that his mythical gawd-thang is omniscient and perfect, because for an omniscient, perfect being to ever be wrong would unmake the universe.

Have fun with that.
