So, Robertson makes a bizarre comment about Ariel Sharon. But he apologizes to the ancient prophet Joel? I think this may be a brand new variation on the "non-apology apology". Also, one of Robertson's fundamentalist critics over his earlier comment about Sharon said, "I doubt that God sovereignly is punishing him." As opposed to just reguarly punishing him? | +Save/Share | | |
