He has said alot of insane shit. But people still watch "The 700 Club". Why? I don't have a fucking clue. He is as bad as Jerry Falwell.
Those two are disgrace to Christanity. But why is it, I haven't heard christian commentators distancing themsleves from him. He is a political idealogue in sheep's clothing.
The whole "Creationism vs Evolution" and Intelligent Design conflict don't interest me at all. I've got bigger fish to fry.

Pat Robertson just scares me. He thinks he has some personal relationship with God that involves getting God to rough up his enemies. I believe he also thinks that muslim terrorists are the wrath of God himself sent down to punish America for its sins. I bet Osama just loves this freak.

Club 700... I used to watch that shit back in the beginning and mid 90's. He seemed like a real holy man then, but what did I know; I was a kid back then. I can discern the bull from the good stuff nowadays. Thanks the lord.

Man, the combination of conversations about Bloodsport (the movie) and Pat Robertson are guite interesting. Go on, I'am waiting for the two conversations to collide and have this topic turn into question on whether or not Pat Robertson would survive in a cage match. But that's just me.

GG (Good Game) to all the Christians on the board denouncing Pat Robertson for being a douche. (BTW I'm a Lutheran (LCMS) So it's nice to see christians in here.)

I used to watch his show too back when I was little kid home for the summer. There was really little too watch on tv back and for a kid trained to get up at 6 am everyday, the days really seemed to drag. So before daylight, I would watch the 700 club which came on right after the morning weekday cartoons before going outside to play.

I think the show came on in spanish too but I'm not sure, either way it wasn't a bad show. At the time Pat Robertson seemed like a friendly oldman who would exhort people to do good in the world. This view would quickly change. When I got older I started to realize how deep into politics this "friendly oldman" really was. Robertson also seems to let people see his bad side more often. He's more apt to drop the disguise nowadays and let people hear how he thinks murdering people is okay for the public good and anyone who disagrees with his politics is someone deserving of misfortune and death.

Now sometimes I wonder if this is how Osama Bin Laden is perceived by some in the Arab world. Is Bin Laden seen as the friendly religious guy who only wants people to be good muslims and is picked on by vicious evil do-ers who despise his rightous ways? Is it really easy to block out the times he "drops his guard?"

This was actually a little while ago...a bit more recently (or maybe not), some talking head or other (I think it might've been Bill O'Reilly) made a similar comment about San Francisco after they voted to somehow limit military recruiting efforts...he said something to the effect of "If you don't want the army there, then fine: America won't protect you when terrorists attack. We'll tell them 'stay away from everywhere else, but go ahead and bomb San Francisco.'"

I just love these people, they just love to purr about how they're the ones out there fighting for the little guy, the everyday American...unlike all those other wusses who'd rather see your house burned down and your children executed than adjust their ridiculous ideology.

Oh, wait...

@the NoOb: I used to watch it in spanish. Teh guy is clever, monopolizing on poor spanish people with strong catholic beliefs.

O'Reilly had a point but he fussed it up in his usual idiotic ways. The military is a valid career path for those in high school up to college. The benefits are great and it is just as valid and honorable a profession as a lawyer, doctor, policeman, or firefighter.

What San Francisco politicians did was extremely idiotic. For example one may think that those who study mortuary science are creepy goth kids but our society needs those students no matter what you may think of them. Same goes for the military. One may disagree with war but there is no doubt that the military contribute to our society.

Now what O'Reilly did was beyond stupid. Not everyone in San Francisco agrees with this stupid policy and yet he wishes death and misfortune on them. He's all about patriotism but isn't caring about your fellow American, the most patriotic thing someone can do? So I say "what the hell, O'Reilly?"

Robertson is a crazy douchebag. He's up there with the Westboro Baptist Church as far as I'm concerned.

First off, I consider myself to be conservative, but maybe not Christian. This dude just pisses me off. It's one thing to openly praise about your beliefs and try to comfort people, but to impose it on them through fear and threats is just ridiculous. I'm tired of all these "televangelical" figures out there doing all of this shit - espcially political figures. I feel that it gives people this demoralizing outlook on conservative and Christian people. Sure, I'm conservative, and you can even call me Christian. But I sure as hell don't want to be compared to or associated with people like this.

But for the record, O'Reilly is a douche too.

Once again, I'm going to agree with everyone else in this topic:

This man is making Christians look bad. Why can't people be a little less public about their beliefs?

superhitachi4 · Post by **superhitachi4** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 3:33 am

I don't know what's more amusing: people spreading their bullshit beliefs, or people actually following them. Remember when everyone tried to ride the comet? Yeah, I chuckled.

Pat Robertson, Oral Roberts, Jerry Falwell, and Jim Bakker...

*SIGH* Televangelists haven't held much credibility in my book. Most recently, Pat Robertson's Chavez thing was (and continues to be) rather disgusting.

As a Christian, I am offended at more than a few things said and done by the above named celebrity ministers. I take more stock in what an actual parish priest says than these guys.

LoneSage · Post by **LoneSage** » Sun Nov 27, 2005 6:26 am

Falwell is from my city, Thomas Road Baptist Church isn't too far from here actually. He basically owns the town, and for his college, Liberty University, he gives free tuition. Same with Liberty High School, I believe. I was wondering how the hell he can just give away free tuition, then I remembered he raises money "for the good of Christianity and to put it where it's needed"...I put two and two together, and boom! money that should go for the homeless and something worthwhile actually goes to second-rate college kids.

I can't think of one person that likes him that doesn't go to his church, he's basically buying the whole town, one huge building at a time. And since he can file the buildings under "religious related" or something, the taxes are real low on those buildings, thus the burden of tax relies on everyone else for the most part. Ah, what a douche.

There's actually a newsletter that Liberty sends out once every week. I picked it up a few weeks ago, literally read the headline: "Finding Nemo -- children's entertainment or devil's work?" and put it in the trash. These religious nutjobs, man, I tell ya.

Roberton's no better.
