Pat Robertson: I missed God’s message about Obama re-election

Read Time:58 Second

Pat Robertson, infamous snake oil salesman, after claiming that God told him who would win the 2012 election, admits that he “missed” God’s message about the 2012 election.

Uncharacteristically, however, earlier this week Robertson challenged the Crazy Christian idea that Earth is only 6,000 years old,  saying the man who many credit with conceiving the idea, former Archbishop of Ireland James Ussher, “wasn’t inspired by the Lord when he said that it all took 6,000 years.”

The statement was in response to a question Robertson fielded Tuesday from a viewer on his Christian Broadcasting Network show “The 700 Club.” In a submitted question, the viewer wrote that one of her biggest fears was that her children and husband would not go to heaven “because they question why the Bible could not explain the existence of dinosaurs.”

Then there’s this:

Sad to know that millions of deluded Christians actually give this clown money.

Let me find some citations and such, and I will.

Robertson is the worst kind of “christian” He shamelessly uses religion to enrich himself while giving almost nothing to those less fortunate.

Luckily for him there is no hell so he will escape the well-deserved punishment.

It is my considered opinion is that if an afterlife – run generally along popular, biblical notions – existed, and if it were to be truly just, instead of people getting what they hope they’d earned in life, they’d get what they fear they deserve.

In other words, those who believe Pat Robertson is an agent of some deity or other, probably also believe that teevee wrestling is a real sport.

An interesting bit of history: In the early 1960s, Evangelists were called “Televangelists,” because they used TV to push their message. They grew out of a frontier phenomenon known as the “Tent Show” or “Revival Show.” These were known cons in which shills would feign being “healed” of a plethora of miseries such as blindness. The old Western audiences however, loved these things – for entertainment value. Often the high point of the evening involved treating the preacher to a little neck-tie party. (Tar and feathers in more merciful areas of the country.)

In the early ’60s, a man named Marjoe Gortner – raised in a family of generational tent show grifters – wrote a book detailing his life and the inner workings of the con. He went on to enjoy a successful acting career. The release of his book turned public opinion against the evangelists, where it stayed until it was reborn in the Reagan ’80s.

So all these guys – Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker etc. are – at the very least – cultural descendents of admitted scam-artists.

For the life of me I’ll never understand how people can give money to this charlatan, then again I’ll never understand how rational people can believe in Sky Chief.
