Dear Mr Robertson:
I find your recent comments rather questionable. To make my following argument clear, please allow me to outline what I feel you are saying. (If I am misunderstanding you, please feel free to correct me.)
1. The people of Dover, PA have rejected God.
2. They have done this by not electing school board members who believe in intelligent design.
3. Having rejected God, the people of Dover may never call upon God again, because they have "rejected him" from their city.
Let's start at the top, shall we? If people have rejected God from Dover, shouldn't we be hearing about all the churches closing? Wouldn't there be an uproar about it? Parades, demonstrations, etc.? In my experience, humans never do anything quietly unless they did not want anyone else to know about it. If everyone in Dover agreed to reject God, I think there would have been at least an assembly, possibly followed with a ceremony where Stephen Hawking is presented with the key to the city. (No offense intended, Stephen.)
Second, just because a person believes in intelligent design does not mean they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It doesn't even mean they believe in God. It just means they recognize that the universe is too intricately formed to have been the result of pure chance, and needed some outside influence to put everything together. To say that not having people who believe this on the school board in Dover means that the entire town of Dover has rejected God is placing your argument on a very slippery slope.
Thirdly, I find it rather hard to believe that God would turn his back on people for something so petty. Didn't the Isrealites build a golden calf while the real, visible, God was occupying a mountain not too far away? In spite of that, and all the other things I could name, God still chose this people to be the insurment of the revalation of His son.
Frankly, I don't think you speak for God. If you claim to be a Christian, then that would lead me to assume that you follow the ways of Christ. However, I don't think Christ ever opened a dialogue with anyone by threatening damnation. Did you ever stop to consider that maybe these are the people you should be reaching out to? But no, they do not subscribe to your politics (and if you think about it, that's all this situation is) and therefore all they are worth of is the Good Lord's wrath, possibly in the form of fire and brimstone from heaven. Did it occur to you that such actions may distance these people from Christ? "Don't turn to God" ... isn't that what you want them to do?
I'd ask that you take what I said into consideration, and let God guide you throughout.
Sincerely,
A blogger by the name of -D.
