is god subject to retention elections, too?

tuesday was election day. in dover, pennsylvania, locus extraordinaire of the ACLU's intelligent design trial, eight of the members of the dover school board who voted to include an intelligent design disclaimer in the high school biology curriculum, were voted out of office. i love when the democratic process actually works!

but according to pat robertson, god feels really scorned. here's the article. and here are some of my fave parts:

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 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."

In a subsequent e-mail, the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network said, "If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them."

so lookout, dover! you've sealed your fate -- it's only a matter of time before the powers that be smite your women and children, divest your property, and uphold the constitution!
