Robertson is a total nutcase. What's sad is he has a nice amount of followers, and other televangelists don't seem to refute him but rather embrace him. I think some of thise is because of fear that the last person who spoke against him (Jim Baker) ended up destroyed.

I had the displeasure of meeting the man once. My aunt worked for his animation department in the late 80's and early 90's, and when I was stationed in Norfolk I met up with her and she gave me a tour of the CBN facility in VA. Beach. That's how I met the old Pat.

He's very charismatic and his eyes and smile are almost hypnotic..... not warm or comforting but cold and seeing right through you, almost like looking for your weakness. And that was just my impression seeing him in passing, I can't imagine what the effect would be being around him on a regular basis.

I truly believe at one time he did mean well and probably had a great message to send, but the power and greed took over. I have a feeling there's a few skeletons in that man's closet and the hypocrasy in his life has made him totally crazy.

If this had been any other preacher saying this about Sharon, or Chavez or NO or all the other idiocies he has said, that preacher would be without a following or considered a freak with a cult following like Koresh. Unfortunately, he built up a following that as he grew bitter and evil grew bitter and evil with him.

Perhaps, someday before "God calls him home" (to quote another televangelist) old Pat will repent and try to make amends to society and those he has hurt.

For a follower of Jesus' teachings, the man doesn't turn the other cheek but rather finds his enemies' weaknesses and goes hellfire after them, kicking them when they are down. Some day hopefully his followers will wake up and see he teaches the opposite of what Jesus stood and stands for.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
