Wiccan Leaders Call on Christians to Censure Pat Robertson and Condemn Violence

America and its allies are calling on all people to end terrorism and violence as acceptable political tools worldwide. Yet here in America itself, a major Christian Leader, the Reverend Pat Robertson, has called for the assassination and murder of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. This announcement was delivered from the Christian Broadcasting Network's 700 Club television show to an international audience of millions on Tuesday, August 22. Rev. Robertson hinted that God would approve of the killing of the dictator and save the United States of billions of dollars. Such a public incitement to murder by any other religious or political leader would be called an outrage, yet we see no such action against Robertson.

Several Wiccan leaders, who have themselves been targeted by Robertson's organization, are calling on all Christians and religious people to censure Pat Robertson and publicly denounce the use of violence. Rev. Ed Hubbard of the Correllian Nativist Church states, "Pat Robertson has the ear of the president of the United States and has asked that Christians pray for the death of political leaders. He is legitimizing the use of violence against non-Christians and those who disagree with his political positions using his powerful religious pulpit. Robertson would use the CIA as the Christian Inquisition and Assassination division of the Christian Church."

Hubbard adds, "Without a clear statement from Americans, and especially Christians, condemning this action, then we see that they accept and even approve of such violent, and potentially illegal, terrorist statements. It makes CBN no better than the Taliban and other terrorist organizations broadcasting hate. Good people should be appalled and call for Pat Robertson to be censured and even removed from such an important position. Otherwise, it won't be long before he may call on his followers to commit acts of physical violence rather than spiritual violence. It is definitely not beyond him to do so."

Pat Robertson has advocated violence and negative prayer (prayer intended to bring about the illness or death of a person) numerous times to push his religious political agenda, and calls on civil disobedience and other means to ignore laws he finds inconvenient to his own political aims - calling those laws contrary to the Bible. The question Americans and their allies must ask is, "How far will we accept his call for violence before we believe it Will he call for the death of Americans in the name of God" Only immediate censure and condemnation of such violence can assure all people that Christians are truly a loving people, otherwise they are accomplices to murder and violence.

Ed Hubbard will be presenting a seminar on Witch Wars: Attack against Our Religious Freedom at the WS Education and Leadership Conference in Albany New York, Sept.1st-4th. Rev. Ed Hubbard's presentation will also be made available online.
