I can agree with this to a point. I do think it is important within this forum that we have found some sort of concensus on Robertson's words. What happens here isn't going to amount to much in terms of giving Robertson more power by attacking him. But it does show that we can agree on *something*.
However, I think it is time that high ranking Christian leaders openly condemn Robertson for his words. In the Christian doctrine, what Robertson has asked for is evil. I don't think there is any way to refute this. If there were enough that were willing to stand together and say, "What this man says is wrong" I think it would go a long way to pointing out how extreme Robertson's posistion is...
Whether someone will act on his words or not is entirely besides the point and I am disappointed that some of you can't see this.
