Who made Pat Robertson God?

Robertson’s “American Center for Law & Justice” group is suing to block construction of the Muslim community center near Ground Zero. Newt supports him and says, “There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia.” I have decidedly mixed feelings about this issue – I feel for the families of the 9–11 attacks and consider it insensitive of those wishing to build there – but I side with those who say it’s their right (including the NYC Mayor). How can we Americans preach equality and freedom of religion, how can we accuse Muslims of racial intolerance, if we ourselves don’t practice what we preach. I know this subject has been debated a lot on Fluther, but I think it’s worth continued discussion.
