Come on its not that high, I hear that there are only about 3 million of them.
You would need a lot more of that type of thinker to get all the way to 700.

LOL! Sounds like you have a serious issue with the show. I personally prefer not to watch it - however, I do know that the name "700 Club" came about during a telethon way back when they first began the show. Their goal was to have 700 members each pledging $10 - and the name just kinda stuck. I certainly hope that the collective IQ of the audience is not 700 because a lot of my family does watch the show religiously and they are ignorant.

THIS IS WHY IT'S CALLED THE 700 CLUB
In 1961, Robertson bought the license for WTOV, channel 27 in Portsmouth, Virginia. It had gone off the air five years earlier due to poor viewership. The station returned in October as WYAH, broadcasting twelve hours of Christian programming to the Hampton Roads market each day.
In 1962, the station suffered financially and almost closed. To keep the station on the air, WYAH decided to produce a special telethon edition of the show. For the telethon, Robertson set a goal of 700 members each contributing $10 a month, which was enough to support the station. Robertson referred to these members as the '700 Club' and the name stuck. The telethon was successful and is still held annually.

Many times per hour a question poser or responder in this category will claim that all Christians or all religious people in general are “dumb,” “ignorant,” “stupid,” or something of this nature. No substantiation will be given for this theory (statistics related to IQ tests, grade point averages, etc.). Broad sweeping generalizations like this fail to take into account the intelligence diversity in any large group. The accusation, ironically, appears dumb, ignorant, or stupid itself. It ends up being little more than unsubstantiated name-calling.
How then shall we respond once this has occurred? If we remain silent, the simple-minded among us might actually believe that all of a certain people group lack intelligence, so silence is not an option. If those outside the category of Christians or religious people would disavow incorrect and unnecessarily belittling attacks, then perhaps peer pressure from their own group would cause them to pursue correct and helpful discussion point. If Christians in particular and religious people in general will politely articulate the incorrectness of this fallacy without seeking retribution, then perhaps it will take away the perceived benefits of the name-calling in the first place.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, look carefully at such accusations and ask for the Spirit’s leading on whether this is one of those “turn the other cheek” moments (Matt 5:39) or one of those “be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” moments (1 Pet 3:15).
May God bless the constructive dialog in this category.

No.The audience is actually quite bright.I feel that some of the ideas presented on the 700 Club are wrong,but it is not the audience's fault.Blame management.

Why are you being so blasphemous? The 700 Club does amazing work for charity and teaches the truth about God. Maybe you should actually watch the show once instead of blasting it.

That's how many reps of 2000 lbs Pat Robertson can do on the leg press.
It is absolutely terrifying to me that Pat Robertson could have actually become president of the United States a few years back. He was not only taken seriously, but had a very good chance of getting the nomination. I mean, seriously... that is absolutely TERRIFYING!

No it is because you are supposed to pay them 700 dollars per day. Read my web instead!

OMG the kitten in your avataar is adorable -- but LOL this is a funny question, but I would have to say no -- you could say that about any religious group and get the response you are looking for probably ... Still a funny question.
