Nothing Pat Robertson says should be taken seriously by anyone. Pat is away with the fairies and has been for a while now. It amazes me that even one person on earth listens in earnest to the brain rotted lunatic. Nothing Pat believes is a threat to me. As a Buddhist I find this particular comment from Robertson to be interesting.

 
Robertson's comment underscores just how weak and fragile his fundamentalist immune-system is.

:roll: :applaud

By this guy still being broadcasted and watched by - don't know how many - but it must be a lot - who cling to his every word as the fundamental truth and reality - is ****ING DISTURBING on so many levels!
 
I think, sincerely, that Robertson is now afflicted with dementia and has been for some time.

That idiot has been cooked mentally for years.

I have no idea how he can still be on the air, except for the fact that there are way too many morons who are too stupid to think for themselves.

He is too infatuated with himself to see that he is actually doing the devil's work for him.
 
It's Pat Robertson. He says quirky stuff; this is well known.



Most of Christendom pays him little if any heed.

...and he is giving everyone the finger just masking it with the index also being raised...
 
Any religion or any non-religion can and does have, ahem, unhinged individuals making nonsensical statements on behalf of their religion or non-religion. When a crazy person gets a microphone and a camera it is often newsworthy for entertainment value if nothing else.

It wouldn't be difficult to convince me that most of the questions Robertson responds to on the air are in face manufactured. Robertson may not even know some assistant producer is purposely writing questions "from Robertson's viewing audience" to elicit an off the wall response from Robertson. It's a bit like throwing peanuts to a monkey. People tune in to see what Pat is going to say next.

Money. That's the real issue. Robertson has built quiet an empire selling his brand of religion. For reasons we probably don't know Robertson has become loonier over the years. Now he's just plain nuts. But if you are in it for the money it pays well. No one can argue with that.

It happens across all religions. Recently there has been sincere concern expressed regarding Thai Buddhism and what money may have done and may be doing to it. I seriously doubt most Buddhists have become tainted money grubbers as a result. Anyone who follows the dharma as it was taught is not going to be harmed directly, but you don't want the wrong message being spread.

God knows how many people, many of them no doubt good Christians, depend on Pat Robertson's television persona for a living. Many are employed because of Robertson's brand of religious crazy. No doubt most of them know in their hearts that it has all become more about money than salvation. Who would be willing to pull the plug? They are in a difficult position.

Money is not good or bad. Religions fund countless worthy causes. Too much money, however, is not a good thing for any religious leader or any religion. I think Robertson is long, long passed his Sell By date.

His rant about being enslaved to vegetables was interesting
 
Pat's got to work on his schtick...



and let the congregation say amen...
 
He'll get to heaven while his detractors are heading the other way.

Life and soul aren't you. And obviously, you htink you know exactly what Jesus will do. Tisk.. you are putting yourself at the same level as God there.. and he won't like that.

It's not difficult to know who goes where when you have the Word of God.

John 3:36 - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.

Farewell and adieu to my fair Spanish ladies...
 
Tina - the one who "wrote the letter" in the video is just as disturbing, if not more than Pat is.

She wants to "minister" to others, but just can't handle it when others want to "minister" to her.
It's okay for her to do it, but not okay for others to do it to her.

Yes , we know you like to quote that meaningless plattitude when you get busted. Just because you quote it doesn't mean it's true.

Christianity spreads hate and fear while Buddhism spreads compassion and love. It's no wonder that you and Pat Robertson choose the former over the latter.

Atheism spreads lies.
 
Atheism spreads lies.

Actually, atheism doesn't make any statements other than what the individual in question thinks about one very specific question. You could possibly argue that atheists lie, but atheism, like theism, is incapable of spreading lies, or even being false, as it is completely dependent on the individual.

I can't say I'm surprised you don't understand the difference. You christians are always on the attack trying to tear everyone else down. This is what I was talking about when I said you guys seem only interested in spreading hate and fear. Why should we all believe? Why, fear of course, we don't want to be tortured for eternity now do we?

How do you know compassion, love and tolerance isn't for you if you've never tried it?

LMAO!

uhm it's "Pat Robertson"

Nobody takes this mentally retarded idiot or his mentally retarded followers seriously. He is a joke, people just laugh at his dishonest, bigoted, hateful evil rantings just like they should.

There he goes again.

Next time you're down and out try finding a Bitter Buddhist's homeless shelter. LOL!

1.) I can't say I'm surprised you don't understand the difference. 2.) You christians are always on the attack trying to tear everyone else down. This is what I was talking about when I said you guys seem only interested in spreading hate and fear. Why should we all believe? Why, fear of course, we don't want to be tortured for eternity now do we?

How do you know compassion, love and tolerance isn't for you if you've never tried it?

1.) couldnt agree more
2.) don't group his views in with all of us, the majority think nothing like that, sadly there are many who do and they are the loudest and get the most attention because the rest are minding thier own damn business like we should :D ;)

Love speaks the truth, RA, and you're not doing it.

What we're doing is countering your sophomoric slander and fabrications.

I am talking about the lie I quoted you as writing.

You christians are always on the attack trying to tear everyone else down.

I didn't write that, you did.

And I have all kinds of "compassion, love and tolerance", I just define it as being compassionate, loving and tolerant. Apparently you think hate is "compassion, love and tolerance" as long as you hate the right people.

I can't remember a time that I looked at him with a thought other than " is this dude nuts?"

I mean, I get it... when you entire career and existence consists of sermons and speechifyin'.. it's inevitable dumb stuff will fall from your face from time to time.... but dayum, Pat... retire already... go and be well in your old age.. prepare to meet your maker.... but for the love of God, stop saying dumb stuff.
