Pat Robertson
I can't believe CNN would give air time to the deranged ravings of that nut case, Robertson. Wasn't God suppose to "call that psycho home", if X amount of dollars wasn't donated to him several years back?

I don't believe God really wants him.

I'm sure he means well and he's a nice guy and all........
With that said didn't Jesus smash up a temple that was profiting off the spiritual beliefs of others?
In my opinion Jerry Falwell is much much worse, he's been whacky for decades. I watched him one night after the bar when flicking through channels and all he did was bash other religions. Who is he to say they're wrong for finding God their own way? Oh wait I know, a crude business man using religion for profit.

It was Oral Roberts who was being called home.

The Money Changers and traders Jesus threw out of the temple were not profitting off of the spiritual beliefs of others. The Merchants were making money and nothing else.
Jerry Falwell and every Christian have the right to say that another religion is misguided. Jesus and the Bible say so. The only thing a Christian can not do is convert someone to Christianity by force.

So religious people are not to have Freedom of Speech? You know, there is this pesky document called the Constitution that allows even those you dsisagree with, the Freedom to speak on any subject they desire. Even *gasp* politics, with no qualifiers due to religion, color or gender.

Level of insanity, you judge, Air time and Robertson
...a stroll down memory lane, Robertson gives Falwell a good run for his money, not to worry...
10 quotes Pat Robertson has said (and bonus quotes!)
10) "Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that’s held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings." –Pat Robertson, on the dangers of judicial activism
9) "Lord, give us righteous judges who will not try to legislate and dominate this society. Take control, Lord! We ask for additional vacancies on the court." –Pat Robertson
...an oldie but a goody...
8) "Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." –Pat Robertson
7) "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 in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate -- this is a message of redemption. But a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor." –Pat Robertson, on "gay days" at Disneyworld
...one of my favs...
6) "(T)he 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." –Pat Robertson
...and this is a real 'keeper'...
5) "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." –Pat Robertson
4) "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city. And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there." --Pat Robertson, after the city of Dover, Pennsylvania voted to boot the current school board, which instituted an intelligent design policy that led to a federal trial
...and always a person of great compassion and simpathy...
3) "God considers this land to be his. You read the Bible and he says 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' ... He was dividing God's land. And I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the E.U., the United Nations, or the United States of America.' God says, 'This land belongs to me. You better leave it alone.'" --Pat Robertson, on why Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive stroke
2) "Maybe we need a very small nuke thrown off on Foggy Bottom to shake things up" –Pat Robertson, on nuking the State Department
...JFK could have come of the 700 club and said this about Castro, it would have made this so much easier...
1) "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war ... We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with." –Pat Robertson, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
...we're not done, here is the bonus section!
"Wait a minute, I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out,' and 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping." –Pat Robertson, clarifying his call to assassinate Hugo Chavez
"Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him." –Pat Robertson
...Professor of US Constituational Law can be added to his resume and CV...
"That was never in the Constitution, however much the liberals laugh at me for saying it, they know good and well it was never in the Constitution! Such language only appeared in the constitution of the Communist Soviet Union." –Pat Robertson, on the constitutional separation of church and state
...together again, for the first time...(drum roll)...let me introduce to the stage Pat and Jerry...
"Well, I totally concur." –Pat Robertson to Jerry Falwell following the Sept. 11 attacks, after Falwell said, "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 have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say: "You helped this happen."
