Political Quiz

[ordos45]

Quite a frightening quiz.

[Anathema]

I got 9 out 20, but then again I have no idea who Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are. They don't sound like the type of guys I'd like to hang out with.

[ordos45]

They're what amounts to Bush's Spiritual Advisors.  Pat is head of the Christian Coalition unofficially (he resigned when Bush became President as a good symbolism thing), and hosts the 700 Club, a Christian news show.  Jerry Falwell is a major evangelist, and said 9/11 was God's punishment for abortion, Pagans, and Homosexuals.

[VigilVirus]

Jerry Falwell is a major evangelist, and said 9/11 was God's punishment for abortion, Pagans, and Homosexuals.

Jerry Falwel is nothing more than a blowhard at best.

12/20 I got, :-  i'll accept the missed ones because I never desired or felt I would gain any knowledge from Falwel or Robertson.

[Acriku]

I got 1/20 because I got bored after the first question, hip hip hoorah!  ;)

Problem with USA is perhaps the thing, as it takes religion and philosophy by same way as bin Ladin. You can be a radical christian, radical muslim, radical krishnist or radical atheist. If it would be in a good way, ok, but what I see on their religiosity, is only worship and following of symbols, no real thinking.

Whey, 5/20. Never knew these two other would have so paranoid thoughts about America.

Anyways, according to wikipedia.org this Pat guy actually made a run for president in 1988.

Not only this. Quoted:

... For example, Robertson claims to have used the power of prayer to steer hurricanes away from his companies' Virginia Beach, Virginia headquarters. He took credit for steering the course in 1985 of Hurricane Gloria, which caused millions of dollars of destruction in many states along the east coast. He made a similar claim about another destructive storm, Hurricane Felix, in 1995.

... Robertson has described feminism as a "socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." Robertson's views mirror those of the controversial evangelical activist Jerry Falwell, who has made frequent appearances on The 700 Club. He agreed with Falwell that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were caused by "pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the ACLU and the People for the American Way."

Through his ostensibly charitable organization, Operation Blessing International, Robertson claims to have spent $1.2 million bringing aid to refugees in Rwanda. His critics, such as Palast, claim the money was actually spent to bring heavy equipment for Robertson's African Development Corporation, a diamond mining operation.

"If I could just get a nuclear device inside Foggy Bottom, I think that's the answer." (talking about the United States State Department)

"We're importing Hinduism into America. The whole thought of your karma, of meditation, of the fact that there's no end of life and there's this endless wheel of life, this is all Hinduism. Chanting too. Many of those chants are to Hindu Gods -- Vishnu, Hare Krishna. The origin of it is all demonic. We can't let that stuff come into America. We've got the best defense, if you will -- a good offense."

"The Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today."
