Pat Robertson said, in his book New World Order, that he could have won the Vietnam war if they'd have let him. Jerry Falwell said in a form letter he mailed out to widows on pensions, written on Bond paper, by the way, and only used one side of each of the dozen or so sheets, that he had been given a plan by God to "fix" America, but that if his current fiscal responsibilities weren't met, i.e., if enough money didn't get contributed, then, "God's plan cannot be implemented." God's hands are tied if his humongous, extravagant, wasteful and bigoted panhandlers can't coerce enough gullible deiphobes into paying off their mansions and astronomical stationery bills? I want to go to Heaven just so I don't have to spend eterniy around Jerry Falwell!

The parallel fails on one significant factor. Wright is racially obsessed and the others are no longer. it rather is the racial know-how and divisiveness this is the subject. Seeing secularist western civilization frequently and American way of existence particularly as debased and lost isn't any fault and to be inspired. that's no diverse than the prophets lamenting immorality, Jesus attacking the Jewish way of existence of his day, Socrates attacking the Athenian way of existence, Livy or Augustine attacking the Roman way of existence, and Luther attacking the corruption of the Church in 1517. besides, you will see comparable statements on the Huffington positioned up or the different leftist blog, nonetheless from a diverse attitude and reason. healthful criticism of a debauched and immoral way of existence isn't in basic terms with stable precedent yet mandatory, yet a divisiveness in line with racial know-how is silly, puerlile, and ignorant.

This is God's power and he sent this thing to warn us ... we needed a shock.
-- Pat Robertson, remarking on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.

This will be difficult.
There are so MANY to choose from.
For Jerry, these have got to be my favorite idiocies:
"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"
"Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them."
"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharoah's chariotters."
And here's Pat:
"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalian's and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrists. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them"
"(T)he feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
"It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into [our] institutions [today] are primarily termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that we have.... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation."
But, honestly, here's the scariest one, from a co-religionist of theirs, by the name of Randall Terry (Founder of Operation Rescue):
"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty; we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism."
Now, for some fun! Guess who said these things:

I was going to say anytime they asked a prostitute "What can I get for $10?" but the other answers given here are definitely much more ridiculous.

I did love when Pat Robertson claimed he could benchpress more than a top athlete. Is he a compulsive liar?!?

The most ridiculous thing that either of them ever said was that they were Christians.
