As luck (?) would have it, I was given the task late afternoon Saturday to fill the next day the pulpit of an ill pastor, who had plannned on speaking on the question, “Does Evil Exist?”  Although tempted to say simply, “Yes,” and sit down, I did explore the issue.  In describing our modern Old Testament prophet Pat, I noted that I found evil, but in his words, not in the movement of tectonic plates.  A retired Episcopal priest, visiting in congregation that day, thanked me afterwards. 

As a Christian, I am embarrassed and saddened by Robertson.
