Pat Robertson Dies

Thoughts and Prayers?
Good Riddance?
Oh?
Bye?
I'm terrible knowing what to say in circumstances like this!

The same gut reaction I had when Jerry Falwell died:
If [i]le Diable[/i] exists, he’ll be busy tonight.
Both were evil, evil men who probably turned more people against the concepts of Christianity than any atheist ever could. 😞

@Pitchblue An accident of birth...

@Northwest The James Jones saga is a fascinating one to study, as I have exhaustingly...I have a weird interest in cults. But in the end Jones was just a narcissistic egotist who sexually exploited women. Just another a$$hole when push comes to shove.

@originnone Maybe Trump should have his followers all drink some cool-aid with the same result 😁

I am sorry he has passed, though he caused so much pain for so many.

I am NOT sorry

@Dshhh I respect your opinion. And if he reaps in death what he sowed in life, I don't envy his eternal fate.

He was a charlatan. A Bible-waving conman who took advantage of simple, under-educated people. He exploited and encouraged his flock's lowest prejudices and fears.

Maybe he had good qualities. I don't know.

@badminton My friend sometimes had the 700 Club on, mostly to laugh at him, but one time I was visiting her, and I can’t remember if it was a letter or someone who called, but a woman asked Robinson how she could get her husband to stop beating her. She said she was trying to be a good wife, but he kept losing his temper. Robinson told her she [b]needed to try harder[/b]. He actually told that poor woman that if she was "right with God", her husband wouldn’t "need to correct" her. We were both so angry—my friend never turned that show on again. 🤬

I think you were right with #2.
He was an evil, greedy, manipulative con artist who peddled in fear and hate under the bullshit guise of "Christian love." Which I'm not sure is even a real thing. The world is better off today.

One should not speak ill of the dead. That is, the decent people who die. In this hate monger, homophobic, racist, islamophobe, and generally disgusting excuse for a human being, keep them coming. Here's a sample:
