Pat, Pat, Pat
I couldn’t help it; I had to write about Pat Robertson again. I don’t want to become http://www.ihatepatrobertson.com/ for two reasons: First, somebody already is doing that noble job (I love that website). Second, that’s not what I meant to do with my blog.Besides all this, there are some things that I just can’t let go.I’m going to cut and paste some quotes I read by Robertson. I don’t understand how a person like this still has a TV show, and so many followers. Some of them are taken from “I hate Pat Robertson”. I’m only going to make comments on a few of them. I don’t think it’s really necessary to say much when you read this kind of thing.
"The strategy against the American radical left should be the same as General Douglas MacArthur employed against the Japanese in the Pacific . . . blast the individuals out of their power bunkers with hand-to-hand combat. The battle to regain the soul of America won't be pleasant, but we will win it."
"Government was instituted by God to bring His laws to people and to carry out His will and purposes."
"Whenever the civil government forbids the practice of things that God has commanded us to do, or tells us to do things He has commanded us not to do, then we are on solid ground in disobeying the government and rebelling against it."
"When any civil government steps outside the mandate authorized by God Almighty, then that government does not have any further claim over its citizens."
"There will never be world peace until God's house and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy moneychangers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?"
I don’t get how your sexual orientation, your political ideas fall under the same category as an assassin (don’t forget that he called for the assassination of Chavez, an elected president) or an adulterer. I’m kind of confused. People, help me out!
"Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
Ok, this one’s just hilarious. I don’t think I need to say much about it, but everybody should read it. This shows exactly the kind of person Robertson is. And if a single person believes him, that alone makes him dangerous.
"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."
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."
I kind of agree with the last two ones. Just kidding!
“Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals – the two things seem to go together.”
Hmm, I thought that Hitler killed lots of gays. Pat confused me again.
“I would warn Orlando that you’re right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don’t think I’d be waving those flags [gay pride flags] in God’s face if I were you.” “Homosexuals want to come into churches and disrupt church services and throw blood all around and try to give people AIDS and spit in the face of ministers.”
Damn, those gays are evil. Thanks Pat for opening my eyes.
This is what was said in “The 700 Club” about 9/11:
Falwell: “What we saw on Tuesday, as terrible as it is, could be miniscule if, in fact, God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.”Robertson: “Well, Jerry, that’s my feeling. I think we’ve just seen the antechamber to terror, we haven’t begun to see what they can do to the major population.”Falwell: “The ACLU has got to take a lot of blame for this. And I know I’ll hear from them for this, but throwing God…successfully with the help of the federal court system…throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools, the abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked and when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad…I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who try to secularize America…I point the thing in their face and say you helped this happen.”Robertson: “I totally concur, and the problem is we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government, and so we’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do, and the top people, of course, is the court system.”

You have to have a huge imagination to make that kind of connection. The way I see it, it’s just stupid. There’s nothing to even take under consideration in that reasoning. But there are some people that might buy all this, and that idea is what worries me. You just CAN’T create hatred like that. That’s an invitation to persecution, discrimination and intolerance; and if you have those things, then you have an unstable country under democracy. The best thing about democracy is that you get to say what’s on your mind, but you have to be careful. By saying those things, he’s jeopardizing the very system he supposedly stands for. I come from a country where the last dictatorship left 30,000 people disappeared. Those people even today aren’t officially dead; they’re just disappeared. That’s a horrible thing! We still have mothers in Argentina looking for their kids 30 years later. Because you know that a mother won’t give up if her son disappears; she won’t give up until she’s sure that her kid is alive, or dead; but never disappeared. What I’m trying to say here is that democracy is valuable, and needs care and responsibility. Those comments made by Pat Robertson are dangerous. I don’t want to shut him up, because that would go against his freedom of speech. But I do think that not listening to him should be common knowledge. A true “Operation Blessing” will be the one that can bring his viewers from 1,000,000 to 0.

That was one of the stupidest things anyone said about 9/11 not only stupid but ignorant and arrogant of him to do so. I am a christian but I do not believe that in the least. No way. I think he does little but incite ingnorant people with his comments. Pat Robertson does the same.
