Answer 1

Not that I'm all that fond of Pat Robertson, I must say that he has every right to say what he wants to say, just as much as you have the right to call for him shutting his pie hole.

A lot of the problems in society today stem from the church withdrawing from the marketplace of ideas about 80 years ago. The religious advocates for separation of church and state taught that Christians should avoid public service, or speaking of the issues of the day, because of their unholy nature. (Politics especially, being such a nasty business.)

So, Christians began to withdraw from the public square, and churches soon found their ideas and their impact to be considered irrelevant.

Humanist-secularists like Dewey, Holmes, etc. were more than willing to step into the vacuum created. Now we have reaped what we have sown.

Prior to 1962, when the Supreme Court declared a rather generic, non-sectarian prayer to be unconstitutional, the changes in statistics are mind-boggling. All of the following issues remained relatively flat in terms of incidences prior to 1962:

The prayer that I mentioned was merely this: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents and our teachers and our country. Amen."

Since then, all of these areas have spiraled into decay. Prior to 1962, the biggest school discipline problems were chewing gum in class, and walking on the gym floor with street shoes. Nowadays, students get by with open defiance of their teachers, and crime runs rampant in school.

Teen pregnancy, STD's, and AIDS are now commonplace in the vernacular of students. Gang fights are considered normal.

Parents have checked out of their children's lives. Television and the Internet now raise the children birthed by parents, and this is part of the problem above.

Teachers hardly get respect from parents or students. Further, secular-humanist organizations (such as the PTA and the NEA) hold sway over policies and agendas in the schools.

So, Pat Robertson can speak to the issues of the day. Even if it's not strictly religious. Why? First, because he's a citizen of the U.S. Secondly, his message speaks to the issues of the day, whether you agree with them or not. Lastly, if you don't like what he says, don't listen! People tell me all the time that if I don't like MTV, etc., I should just change the channel. How funny that I now get to say the same thing to someone about what they object to.

Answer 2

I don't even think he needs to stick to religion. I think he needs to take the money he made from all those faithful contributors and his many business ventures and RETIRE. What that man doesn't know about politics and charity and dealing with other people could fill an encyclopedia.

Answer 3

Not only that Pat needs to LEARN his religion:

"For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
-- Colossians 2:9

"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
-- John 14:9

"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you Before Abraham was, I AM."
-- John 8:58

"There are three essentials of the church: acknowledgment of the divine of the Lord, acknowledgment of the holiness of the Word [Bible], and the life which is called charity" (Divine Providence n. 259[3]).

Answer 4

You may not agree with what he says, which is fine, but his speech IS protected by the First Amendment.

Why do some people think that religious folk, although American citizens, should not be included? You would prefer out of sight, out of mind?

Answer 5

Yup, it's a free country. So free, in fact, that I am allowed to say that I think Pat Roberston should shut his hole and have that giant head of his surgically reduced.

Answer 6

Well Pat baby does have a way of sticking his D**k in his mouth, just amazing that he still has any credibility left

Answer 7

Nope, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION! HE'S IN AMERICA! READ THE FREAKIN FIRST AMENDMENT! Lmao. Pat's only expressing his opinions and views, you can turn off the TV or not listen to him if he says something that offends you.

Answer 8

I think he should stick to his own *** and the world would be a much happier place to live in.

Answer 9

While I do not subscribe to anything the man says, he is an American citizen exercising his freedoms.

Answer 10

I think the man has become a little senile.
