Jimbo was reading the news online this morning so he could ad lib comments on this blog site after seeing items in the news. I came across an article about Pat Robertson saying that the televangelist was losing favor with some of his ecclesiastical contemporaries for some of the off the cuff comments he makes. While I was wholeheartedly agreeing with the opinion of his peers, I read that Robertson had been interviewed on a recent segment of Good Morning America and he commented that he likes to ad lib comments after seeing news segments.
Oops!
Does that mean that there is not a dime’s worth of difference between Pat Robertson and Jimbo? Does that mean that Pat Robertson and Jimbo do the same thing? Does it mean that both give their comments about religion, politics and life in general and are mirror images of each other—except that Pat will occasionally lead his audience in prayer?
Nah!
Jimbo would never call for the assassination of a foreign leader. Jimbo would never say that God would turn his back on a small town in Pennsylvania because they practiced logical thought. Jimbo would never say that God had struck down the leader of another foreign country because the man went against something some English King had translated from some ancient scrolls and attributed it to God.
Jimbo has never claimed to be the spokesman for God, nor has he ever tried to put words in God’s mouth. Okay, maybe once or twice.
The biggest difference, however, is that Jimbo will cut you some slack. Pat Robertson will promise you hell if you act up just a little bit. Jimbo will let you slide, as long as we’re all sure you are trying to behave. With Pat, it’s all black and white.
We have shades of gray and all the colors in the rainbow, here in Jimbo’s world.
