Pat Robertson recent remarks about Haiti have caused some controversy.
What do you think about what was said?

I think his comments were sick.

"..and the devil said, ok, it's a deal"

Here is another great Pat Robertson quote:

"The 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

eh, must be true, I've done all that...

oh wait I haven't become a lesbian, Ooooooo I haven't killed my kids yet either.

Yeah, I was gonna agree with pat on that one except I fail to see the connection with killing children or witchcraft.

great bumpersticker "Sorry I missed church. I was busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian"

I think Pat Robertson is an unmitigated a$$hole. A power hungry tin god with delusions of..well...godhood. He lives very very well on the stupidity and gullability(sp?) of a lot of people.
No reasonable person would ever take him seriously about anything.
If Jesus ever did come back, he'd be the first to **** his pants.

There comes a time though, where 'reasonable persons' as you say, need to wake-up and realize that the stupidity and gullibility of a 'lot' of people is dangerously gaining grounds, and must be denounced. Freedom of speech always, but dissent and denouncement, absolutely!!!

Dangerous!!! ... because it is so when a significant minority (if not a majority) of people of the richest and most military armed nation in mixes up faith and fact and believes ...

... in a creationist view of the world, while militantly rejecting the science of evolution.

... that women come from Adam's ribs according to a book.

... that homosexuality shouldn't exist, according to the same book.

... that some countries are 'evil' while WE are conveniently 'godly'. Don't know where they get that from, other then collective delusion.

... that Palestinians are getting in the way of the second coming of 'christ'!!!

... and that somehow, some sort of vindicative and vengeful 'god', comfortably sitting up there somewhere, would actually be busy admonishing punishment on 'a people' that apparently made a deal with the devil (and where did he come from again???).

The confusion and delusion of christian fundamentalists is a mental and intellectual virus that is starting to take way too much room in every aspects of the secular nation that the US is.
It is giving the US a bad rap on the world scene, and it is numbing younger generations of americans with intellectually challenged notions, thus weakening the most precious raw material any nation can ever claim.

Freedom of speech for all the 'village idiots', always.
But equally so, DECENT AND DENOUNCEMENT of that which is deemed unacceptable!!!

... then let democracy roll-in the gullibles!!!

The way some people act I wonder IF we are evolving (at all anymore).

“It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands,…and become lesbians.”

So you then agree on these other things eh? On a first name basis with him as well? Nice.



(The Dude takes away his vow of silence towards nonsense just to see if it can be spun out of a jam)

Pat Robinson is a cruel, idiot...

If a comment about a natural disaster doesn't make you go 'What the ?????', it wasn't made by Pat Robertson.

If you ever run out of nightmares, imagine him as President of the United States. Remember, he threw his hat into the ring once. Or better/worse yet, imagine President Sarah Palin nominating Robertson to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Nah, I dont agree with Pat on 90 percent of what he says. but I do see a connection between losing the 'roles' of men and women and broken homes.

Really? How do you feel about this quote, then?



-Kerry O.

It's a religious view that women should be subserviant to men...slavery in the household. It should be an insult to women and if anything leads to the destruction of families when men use their powers to control them, lowering their self-esteem and entrapping them into a life of servitude...and that's not freedom thus not an American value.

Here again when you mix religious extremist's "values" into the real world...FAIL! Oklahoma is a leader in divorce and RW religious beliefs...therfore also a leader in divorces, bottom line is respecting women here is not a value they embrace.

Pat Robertson...GFY.

That quote, as far as Im concerned, is a PARTIAL truth actually. Many males who consider themselves religious forget that the man is actually supposed to be submissive to the wife as well. If a Godfearing woman marries a Godfearing man, than yes,, that man is supposed to be the head just as Christ was the head of the church, but Christ never abused or mistreated the church and instead loved it so much he died for it. This is different than what many men assume it means to be a head. Many think it means dictator and bully which is nothing of what it means in reaility.

I must correct that women are to be submissive to their HUSBANDS, not all men, and YES I agree that men who ABUSE their headship are just as much as fault for broken homes as anyone else. Christ was the head of the church , he had no slaves, he did not do works to lower self esteem or entrap into servitude, these are abuses caused by mans EGO, but not as the bible actually instructed(some men just choose to manipulate the context).

AS I said before I dont agree with NINETY percent of what Pat says because he seems mostly to accuse and point fingers instead of pointing out solutions.

But you said you agreed with this:

"It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands,…and become lesbians.”

I agree with the parts pertaining to broken homes,, I rarely get invovled in debating what it even means to be socialist or why its a bad thing, and I dont think the INTENT was to go against family,, but I do believe the blurring of roles has done plenty to fuel the epidemic of broken homes and confusion about sexual identity.
