Does the Antichrist Pay for Broadcast Time?

After publishing the post on Pat Robertson's comment a week or two ago I decided to look up some quotes of other things he has said. At this time I would like to retract what I said in my previous post and state that the 700 Club should be boycotted as long as he still appears on it. I consider him to be a very dangerous person to America if anyone watching his show starts believing in what he says. Below are some quotes I find particularly enlightening.

"We have enough votes to run the country. And when the people say, "We've had enough," we are going to take over." - Pat Robertson a speech given to the April, 1980 "Washington for Jesus" rally

That’s right he wants to take over the country.

"We at the Christian Coalition are raising an army who cares. We are training people to be effective -- to be elected to school boards, to city councils, to state legislatures, and to key positions in political parties.... By the end of this decade, if we work and give and organize and train, THE CHRISTIAN COALITION WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL ORGANIZATION IN AMERICA." - Pat Robertson, in a fundraising letter, July 4, 1991

He is creating an army and infiltrating the political system. Before anyone calls me paranoid let me point out that these are actual things he has written or said. My personal estimate of this is his grasp is greater than his reach.

"There is no such thing as separation of church and state in the Constitution. It is a lie of the Left and we are not going to take it anymore." - Pat Robertson, address to his American Center for Law and Justice, November, 1993.

Pat is, in fact, correct. There is no mention of the words separation, church, and state in Article I of the U.S. Constitution. However, he most likely failed government in high school because it does state "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" This clearly means the government isn't supposed to make rules and laws which help establish or favor a particular religion.

"Individual Christians are the only ones really -- and Jewish people, those who trust God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob -- are the only ones that are qualified to have the reign, because hopefully, they will be governed by God and submit to Him." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 11, 1985

Didn't he at least forget Hindus and Buddhists? I'm not keen on having Islamic clerics in power myself but that’s because I'm not sure they'd uphold the Constitution any better than Pat.

"I never said that in my life ... I never said only Christians and Jews. I never said that."
- Pat Robertson, Time magazine

Either he is a hypocrite or has a very poor memory, or maybe both.

"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. "What do you mean?" the media challenged me. "You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?" My simple answer is, "Yes, they are."" - Pat Robertson, The New World Order, p. 218

And here I thought America was supposed to be governed by the people in general when all along it was really Christian and Jewish people only.

"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians 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 Antichrist. I can love the people who hold false opinions but I don't have to be nice to them." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 14, 1991

That’s right according to Pat love isn't the same thing as being nice to people. So much for Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists in Pat's new government. I wonder who the Methodists think is the Antichrist?

"The 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." - Pat Robertson, fundraising letter, 1992

There really isn't much I can say to this. I think the parts about "kill their children" and "destroy capitalism" speak for themselves.

"[Planned Parenthood] is teaching kids to fornicate, teaching people to have adultery, every kind of bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism -- everything that the Bible condemns." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, April 9, 1991

Wow. Not only do they teach about STDs and how to use a condom. According to Pat you can take classes on how to have sex with animals too.

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 8, 1992

This is probably why Pat Robertson lost his campaign for the presidency. Half of America read this and didn't vote for him.

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals -- the two things seem to go together." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, January 21, 1993

I have it on good authority that the Nazis were equally ruthless in killing homosexuals and Jews.

"I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes, and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, August 6, 1998, on the occasion of the Orlando, Florida, Gay Pride Festival 1998

Way to state the obvious Pat. But I don't think not waving a flag is going to keep hurricanes from hitting Florida.

"I think we ought to close Halloween down. Do you want your children to dress up as witches? The Druids used to dress up like this when they were doing human sacrifice... [Your children] are acting out Satanic rituals and participating in it, and don't even realize it." - Pat Robertson, The 700 Club television program, October 29, 1982

Well I guess I know whom to blame for canceling Halloween at my elementary school. Dear Trick-or-Treaters please send Pat's family all the candy you can afford to part with. I have a feeling his children need it badly.

"Just like what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, so liberal America is now doing to the evangelical Christians. It's no different. It is the same thing. It is happening all over again. It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-based media and the homosexuals who want to destroy the Christians. Wholesale abuse and discrimination and the worst bigotry directed toward any group in America today. More terrible than anything suffered by any minority in history." - Pat Robertson, interview with Molly Ivins, 1993.

There are quite a few more quotes from Pat I could add but I'll spare the readers. This is too long already anyway. I think I'll call it a night and go round up some Christians for our local concentration camps and maybe test out my homemade gas chamber.
