US State Department protests televangelist's nuclear threat

Still think fundamentalists are simply kooky but essentially harmless? You're dead wrong. Here's yet more evidence of why the fundamentalist movement is dangerous to the United States and the world:

The US State Department has lodged a vehement complaint with prominent conservative televangelist Pat Robertson for comments suggesting that its Foggy Bottom headquarters should be destroyed with nuclear weapons, officials said Thursday.

The amazing thing is that Robertson actually seemed to mean what he said. I'm not surprised, though. Fundamentalists live in a fantasy world of demonic posession, guardian angels, and Divine violence. If you're not with them, you're against them; there's no neutrality for the Bible Nazis: because the State Department doesn't follow policies that adhere to fundamentalist lunatic interpretations of the scriptures, it opposes the almighty, wrathful, jealous God. Hangin's too good for 'em. Nuke 'em.

Buncha crazy weirdos.
