... has inadvertently outed God as just another purveyor of "fake news".

Have you read that book of his..? They have been purveying fake news for over 2000 years.

Thank God that God gave people the victory over the GOP instead.

I'm reminded of that old quote about God and evil often attributed to Epicurus:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

Still holding a grudge over his imperfection 6000 years later...

I guess he does have a god complex.

I feel the same, lotusflower.

Why does anyone think that this old fraud is anything other than a snake-oil salesman?

How can people be so fookin' gullible!

I don't get it either, never did - even as a kid I knew he was full of it.

That makes a person buy a lottery ticket.

I think he looks like 'The Brain' lol

I think the young'uns prefer the flashy new Bapti-domes with their gawdawful Christian 'rock' bands.

These are the 'family values' voters - the disconnect is stunning.

I am hoping for that special hot mic moment.

Won't make a difference though. These folks support a Supreme Court nominee that is less compassionate than the craziest men of God from the Old Testament.

the words that come to mind are "stupid senile old fart." Robertson is an object lesson in cults and a type Christianity that has degenerated into "prosperity Christianity." The basic tenets of which go something like this: When you follow God's law, he will bless you with good fortune, good health, and prosperity. But you have to have strong faith in the cult leader and show your faith by giving the cult leader money. People are poor because they are sinful and immoral and don't have faith in the cult leader.

This is a pernicious preying on gullible people. It has very little to do with Jesus teachings of feeding the poor, healing the sick, practicing peace, and loving thy neighbor. You don't have to believe in god to be a good person with a kind and loving heart. You just have to be a good person.

35 years ago... exact same prophesy format and display... and call in your pledge bs.

Someone is keeping him on business. Must be god.. or some other malevolent beings.

Bullshit.

Why is moral bankruptcy so prevalent among the fundamentaists ?
The belief that one cannot live a moral life without the belief in god has always astounded me.I always wanna ask these folks -What immoral acts is their fear of hell preventing them from committing ?

Nothing like being on the wrong side of morality , huh Pat ?

I've been asked how I can be a moral person without a belief in God. As if religion created morality or has a monopoly on it. How arrogant can you get? It's infuriating.

thing because it's the"right thing" to do, is lost on these people.

to clean up the lumpy fart of an ill-fated Republican health care plan.

The rest of the Charman will be stuffed in the mouth of the leader of Christian Hate movement. Yes, that's you Pat.

Nothing like seeing people pray for others to lose their health care.

I do not get the right wing nuts attitude that this is Christ like the need to repeal health care Christ fed the poor healed the sick

I can't wrap my head around anyone praying for others to lose their health care - and it has nothing to do with what religion they belong to.

What kind of person actively wishes for others to suffer so the guy they voted for can get a win?

Of course these are the same people who want to force women to carry their rapists' fetuses to term and think lgbt people don't deserve human rights.

the women attempt to give the child up for adoption they are publicly shamed. Jeb! Bush did just that a few years ago. "You'll have the child and you will keep the child." That is really authoritarian!

First there is the fiscal conservative idea that government should not forcibly take (taxes) and redistribute to the poor. That's "socialism" or "communism". That's what the Romans did through Herod. But paradoxically Republicons and christian RWAF adore Rome for its power and order and authoritarianism (lots of overlap between christians and RWAF).

Secondly, there is the idea that "god helps those who help themselves". It is the idea that hard work should be rewarded and needy people don't work hard. It is reinforced by the framing of language like "welfare queens". It shows itself in Republicon statements like Chaffetz saying that poor and people with pre-existing conditions need to choose between getting an Apple phone or health insurance / care.

The mistaken self-view is that they view themselves as "very charitable". They think that charities could and should do all the helping of the needy. They do not realize that the most charitable people, by percentage of disposable income, are the poor. The average RW christian is middle class and gives some money to churches and charities, many of which have high overhead, and some of which have CEOs and mega-pastors who live very high indeed.

So they overrate their charity and underrate the needs of people and ideologically endorse strict government fiscal conservatism.

One local Baptist church puts on a big televised event here every year at Christmas, they select several local families in need and instead of quietly delivering the gifts to them they make a huge spectacle out of it. They bring the families up on stage one by one, explain how they've fallen on hard times and then they bring out the gifts - one at a time and with much fanfare. They stop after each one is handed out so the well-to-do audience can clap and feel good about themselves. It's excruciating to watch because you can tell some of the families are embarrassed because they have to rely on charity and are uncomfortable being used as a photo op.

for them if they did it real quiet like, without all the fanfare and the "look at all the good deeds we're doing."

We dropped off the gifts when the kids weren't home so the parents could enjoy their children's excitement in private on Christmas morning. Charity isn't all about making YOU feel good. If it is you're doing it wrong.

The most depressing 'adoption' was when we purchased gifts for patients in a nursing home. They were so happy with the simplest things - all that mattered was that someone remembered them.

Robertson is a moron of the highest order. He shits stupid phrases and religious BS all day.

Not even his audience forgets that quickly.

they are pretty resilient in their belief systems. All it will take for Pat is to say it worked out like he said and they all turn east and bend over, or something like that.

I just like the idea of him having to scramble to try to do damage control so soon.

"Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

What a perversion of Christianity.

They've been perverting it for almost 2000 years.
