Pat Robertson Tells Dover Residents They Rejected God

DOVER, Pa. -- 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.
