Pat Robertson - Aren't you glad he's on ABC Family?

[wendybeth]

Heh heh...something tells me that Pat has stock in mid-east oil: Chavez offers cheap gas to U.S. poor .

I realise Chavez is a loon himself, but there are a great many poor people in this country, and the numbers are growing. Bush would do well to read up on history, particularily revolutionary histories.

Please note that I said "willing individuals". They want to spout off as an expert or a representative, and the media then chooses to promote them whether the individual has any credibility or not.

I posted this on another board. It's some of his more interesting quotes.

You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them.

The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.

God's pattern is for men to be the leaders, both in the church and in the family... "Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them."

Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals -- the two things seem to go together.

If the widespread practice of homosexuality will bring about the destruction of your nation, if it will bring about terrorist bombs, if it'll bring about earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor, it isn't necessarily something we ought to open our arms to.

I think "one man, one vote," just unrestricted democracy, would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, a minority, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights.

I don't think it is entirely the medias fault that this guy has the reputation that he does. Still, I am amazed at the amount of people that actually listen to this guy.

What ever happened to the very basic rule of Thou Shall Not Kill?

What an f-ing hypocrit!

And those quotes from him MBC! OMG! Talk about looney!

[scaeagles]

Well, really, it's a commandment against murdering, not killing. Plenty of killing in the OT as the Isrealites were on their conquest of Canaan.

Yes, because we all know that political assassinations are a completely moral and effective means of preventing war.

For the record- anyone who is actually honest should be able to admit that we all "conveniently" forget things, or change the rules sometimes....I get a little tired of the implication that some people do not, but Christians always do.....
Broad brush strokes there-

FWIW- I certainly think he has gone round some bend.....though I suppose arguments could be made for gov't sanctioned assassinations. But I am not going to make them-
