Pat Robertson suggests God Smote Sharon for giving back land

Let's talk numbers. How many people are we talking, 3, 5 people?

Being loud and being "hardcore" aren't necessarily the same thing, btw. I don't consider myself to be a "casual" Catholic, nor do most of the Catholics I deal with in my every day life.

I think the bottom line here is that you have encountered a few vocal (gasp!) Christians in your day, and they probably supported Robertson. And of course, the only "good" Christians in your mind are the ones who don't say anything, and hide in the shadows somewhere.
