Here is what an Anglican priest had to say about this. His words are sharp, but this is how strongly he feels about how Robertson blights Christianity. It’s a good read, and I completely agree with him!: http://www.reconnectingthespirit.com/index/embarrassed-to-be-a-christian

I had a “falling out” with the church a while back, but I still have my core beliefs. I do thik that the underlying message of love and tolerance of one another is all that really matters in the end and I have a feeling that “ol Pat is in for a big suprise when his end
comes. Each of us is not only responsible for ourselves but for one another a well and until humanity as a whole understands that concept I am sad to say that people like Pat and any other ultra conservative/ fundamentalist of ANY religion will continue to warp the minds and the governements of our soceity because they have some pretty deep pockets to fish change from….

To those that think Pat Robertson speaks for followers of Christ, he doesn’t, the only thing that speaks for us are the Gospels of the New Testament and the fact that God loved people, all people so much that he sent part of himself to Earth, to love people, teach people to love one another and to sacrifice for one another as he sacrificed for us. Robertson’s logic, facts and beliefs are in error and he in no way represents God’s love for humanity.
As for the man who quipped about the rate of AIDS among the uneductated and impoverished Hatians, well that’s idiotic too. He states he’s not a Christian, that I can believe, grace is a gift that let’s one easily recognize that people who are sick with disease are not responsible for thier situation, read the gospels, Christ kissed a leper.

Notably “Reverend Robertson” says Haiti’s pact with the devil was made while under the rule of Napolean III.

Fact:Haiti’s revolt from France began in 1801 and ended with independence in 1804.
Napolean III was not born until ……1808.

The devil is in the details……

Charles,

Think thousands, not millions. The dirty little secret is that all of his air time is purchased, his show is basically an infomercial — don’t confuse his being seen as the same as him being accepted. It doesn’t take that many people to send him money for him to stay on the air. Saying he represents millions of Christians is a bit like saying the Sham-Wow guy represents millions of Americans.

Still if the under lying point is that he’s our problem and we need to deal with him better, you’re probably correct. He’s our crazy uncle who tells kids racists jokes at the reunion but we still need to keep shooing the kids away and telling him to shut up even though its a bit tedious to need to do so every time he opens his mouth.

As for people standing up and saying Pat’s an idiot, I thought that what I was trying to do. Unfortunately I can’t stop people from sending him money although I do discourage it when I have the chance. In fact the reason that you don’t hear more people calling him out is because he’s a fairly impotent force that most of us ignore as a rule. To be honest I think most Christians are a little surprised that anyone takes him seriously anymore.

I’m curious, what kind of response would you like to see regarding Pat? For better or worse we don’t burn our heretics anymore so my first suggestion that comes to my mind really won’t work.

In the unlikely event that one or two people ,worldwide, still believed Pat Robertson is not a complete moron, thanks Pat, for removing all remaining doubt.

Why do we act surprised when Pat Robertson says something asinine, blaming the victims of a natural disaster for bringing it upon themselves? It’s like acting surprised when the sun rises in the east.

You know, Christians may say that Pat Robertson doesn’t speak for them and that he really makes their blood boil, but until Christians stand up to him and QUIT SENDING HIM MONEY, then he DOES represent millions of Christians.

Pat is good for comedic value. What really scares me is that so many take him seriously. How this guy is taken for a leader is beyond me.

I like fornicating constricting orifice instead.

Blessings for the dead and dying. Protections for the living, especially the children. May wisdom in the rebuilding shine through.

Robertson has his on level of hell waiting for him and no amount of invoking a name for forgiveness will help.
A person must atone and The Big Guy upstairs will let you know when it is enough.
