Earlier, you said that Robertson wasn't behaving in a Christian manner because he was advocating an assassination.

Do you think that since Chavez is a corrupt leader, that makes the assassination ok?
My opinion as stated has nothing to do with a political leader, corrupt or otherwise. My statement was that it does not seem very Christian to me to be calling for the assasination of anyone. Doesn't mean it's not the best course of action. I just don't find it Christian of him to make public statements about such things.

I also don't find it very Christian of him to be passing judgement as he is. Yes, we all do it from time to time, and in this case he could possibly be right, but as a leader I would think that he would try to teach the lesson that judgement is not for man, but for God.

But that will just get us into the whole idea of "religious leaders" such as him and organized religion as a whole, and I don't see a need for it to go in that direction.
