Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate for the Virginia gubernatorial race, received a $25,000 donation from televangelist Marion "Pat" Robertson plus $5,000 from Pat's son and $10,000 from Pat's daughter-in-law.
Pat Robertson gave thousands of dollars to McDonnell because they share common ideas. They both believe America was designed to be a Christian Bible-based nation. According to McDonnell's thesis he wrote to get his degree from Robertson's Christian law school, McDonnell wants the government to coerce citizens even in their sex lives in an effort to smash "radical individualism."
Pat Robertson actually believes that America's founding documents prove that America is a Christian nation. On page 270 of his book, The Turning Tide, Robertson wrote, "It is certainly true that the precepts of faith are interwoven throughout the founding documents of this nation. The forms of our constitutional government - as implemented by Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and others - were carefully designed to acknowledge the authority of the Scriptures and our dependence upon the Creator."
Not only did he name five founders who were not Christians because they did not believe in the divinity of Jesus and who were actually Deists with the exception of Adams (if he’s referring to Sam Adams who was a Christian he’s correct but I believe he’s referring to John Adams), who was a Unitarian, he is just plain wrong. Not only is he incorrect “that the precepts of faith are interwoven throughout the founding documents of this nation” as is more than obvious by the complete lack of any mention of “faith” or religion in the U.S. Constitution, with the exception of the First Amendment which does not promote Christianity or Judaism but instead says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”, which is the direct opposite of what Robertson is saying. Robertson’s other lie about America’s founders setting “the forms of our constitutional government . . . to acknowledge the authority of Scriptures” is fully exposed when we 1.) take notice that nowhere in the Declaration of Independence (the Declaration only refers to God in Deistic terms such as Nature's God, not the Bible's God) or in the U.S. Constitution is there any reference made to "the authority of the Scriptures" and 2.) we realize Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees a republican form of government which is in direct conflict with the type of government the Bible promotes at Deuteronomy 17:15 which has God telling the Hebrews that he will decide who shall be king. In reality, of course, the priests decide who will be king, not God. To prove this point all we need to do is go up a few verses to Deuteronomy 17:12-13 where the priests wrote that God said, “And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.”
Does this sound Constitutional to you, to have priests tell the people who God wants as president or king??? And to have anyone who doesn’t agree with the clergy to be put to death doesn’t sound very reasonable or American, does it?
