Why do newspapers even quote him, for example? I mean, there must be lots of people talking nonsense, or even their own doubtful interpretation of religion, so why do people like Pat Robertson get all the press?
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
