Pat Robertson: God is Using I-35 to Rid USA of Gay Sin

I swear, the wingnut Christianists are getting more crazy by the day. As Towleroad is reporting (http://www.towleroad.com/2007/11/pat-robertson-g.html), according to Pat Robertson, God is using superhighway I-35 that runs from Canada to Mexico through the Midwest to purify America from sin. Giuliani can have Pat in my view. He just seems to come out with more and more crazy statements that are down right embarrassing to those of us who live in the Hampton Roads area. I swear, we are not all looney tunes. Here are some story highlights:
He [Robertson] says "I-35 is the highway spoken of in Isaiah 35:8 - "And a highway will be there; it will be called the way of holiness." So, evangelical Christians have set aside 35 days to use the cities around I-35 to rid America of sin, meaning "abortion clinics, gay bars, strip joints, and porn shops." God is using "purity sieges" to set America free.


That, apparently, is the theory of the youth-oriented church activists profiled on yesterday’s “700 Club,” who are running “purity sieges” at clinics and porn shops, where they claim to be “moving angels and demons” by, for example, “setting free” an inebriated young man from “the desires to be with men” through the laying of hands at a gay bar.

Some of the wild stuff he comes up with makes me think he might be in early stage Alzheimer's or other senile dementia.

If you see this, there has been a development with respect to the gay dude that was featured on the 700 Club:
