I think media figures like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and the like are engaged in the production of theater for those who need that extra rush of drama in their lives. The adrenaline of extreme thought. Personally, I don't think they believe most of the things they say, they are feeding their audience just like any other television show.
