If Pat Robertson is Telling the Truth We Must Charge God With Murder

If God really is responsible for the recent deaths during the rampaging tornadoes, then we need to take action. We cannot allow God to murder people as retribution for "not praying enough."
When Pat Robertson makes statements like this, what he is really saying is that God is a terrorist.
We all know that God is not a terrorist. And yet, we allow Pat Robertson to make statements like this without telling him what he is really saying. Pat Robertson is wrong.
Here's what I know to be true:
God is love.
God does not punish.
I want to participate in creating a society where we all care for one another. I want to participate in creating a society where we all can participate. This is what the religious clergy of this country should be talking about.

If clergy describe God as a murderer and a terrorist, people feel like they deserve the bad things that are happening to them. This simply isn't true.
