Well, at least the version of God that Pat Robertson believes in.

Robertson says Sharon's stroke is God's punishment

The Reverend Pat Robertson says Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke could be God's punishment for giving up Israeli territory.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network told viewers of "The 700 Club" that Sharon was "dividing God's land," even though the Bible says doing so invites "God's enmity."

Robertson added, "I would say woe to any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course."

He noted that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.

Robertson said God's message is, "This land belongs to me. You'd better leave it alone."

Criminy. I'm no big Ariel Sharon fan, however, sometimes I wish there were such a place as hell so people like Pat Robertson could spend eternity there. Then again, I suppose that implies that Pat has both a heart and a soul of some sort.
