Pat, Pat ..... oh Pat - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

How and why do people keep listening to this fruit loop? And don't tell me how noone does, because his show gets massive ratings, he gets massive donations, his political endorsements in a vast majority of the country can make a huge difference at the polls. So people do listen to him.....

I'm so.... well check out my question in Paranoia.... I really believe the AntiChrist is not some stranger but someone more like Robertson... because Falwell, Robertson, the Pope, all those church leaders who "have sinned and cried on TV or at their podiums" seem to attract more people, more attention and more believers of their bullshit when they go nuts and say and do stupid, scary shit.....

"God talked to you", Pat. Are you sure you haven't been taking too many happy pills and hanging around Oral too long?

God talked to me Pat, I saw him in my toast this evening after work..... he said, "you, Pat, are a dumbshit who gets off on scaring people and the power you can get by driving fear and hatred into people."

God also stated, "If you, Pat, truly knew the Bible, you wouldn't teach through fear and hatred but through compassion, understanding, love and by EXAMPLE."

God also said go raise a few more million and build a couple new mansions and pretty churches that cater only to the rich, and keep those grandparents and poor people sending in money they can't afford, because you tell them they'll get to Heaven."

I'll see you burn in Hell, Pat Robertson, for the way you have abused your chance to truly reach out and help people through His name and instead fed your own coffers with gold and power.

Pat Robertson: God told me of 'mass killing' in 2007
Story Highlights•Evangelist Pat Robertson predicts 2007 terror attack
•"700 Club" host says U.S. will experience "masskilling"
•Robertson claims God spoke to him

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.

God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election.

Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005 Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006.

Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

How the fuck can you

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

if you are stating God directly told you these things would happen????????

What did God forget to mention something to you? Did you not put in that extra quarter at the pay phone to hear "God" say, "Oh and by the way Pat.... we'll miss a few but overall we'll have a great track record."?

WTF is it Pat?

How do you "talk with God" and have him tell you one thing.... then when it doesn't happen say, "Well, some of it did" ...... You right there are calling God at the very least someone who is imperfect because what he said and what truly happened were "partly fulfilling".

Again, I beg for a true answer from someone here...... how and for the love of God WHY do people allow this man to weild so much power? Why do they send him millions,watch his show in droves and vote his will...... he's as far from Jesus as anyone can possibly be with his teachings.

If I knew the secrets of manipulating the masses I would not be poor. I don't know how he does it. Guess he says what some people want to hear.

If he read and understood the bible, he'd know that "prophets" are 100% right 100% of the time, they dont "miss sometimes"

A prophet isn't a fortune teller or a mystic. A prophet is just a political analyst/commentator.

Nothing more nothing less.

Jesus, and Mohammad were also....prophets.

And they have indirectly Killed a whole lot of people because of it.

Our world would likely be a far more pleasant place without the influence of Either.....Something to think about there, Pat.

Simple. Invent a church and convince people that god favors your church.

My favorite is when Oral Roberts (I think this was in the 80's) told his viewers that God would kill him if they didn't collectively send him 8 million dollars .. . and it worked, he got the cash, tax free. Either God is now rolling around in a Bentley or Oral is full of crap

I was listening to a lecture on NPR the other day by a Cognative Linguist about how different modes of thinking and the use of language apply to politices and the conservative/progressive divide.

Forgive me for bringing politics into this discussion, but I think the lecturer's main point deals directly with your question about why so many people devote themselves to a man like Pat Roberts.

Basically, he said that the Democratic Party campaigns towards the voter's self-interests, meaning Social programs, the Environment and so on, while the Repuplican party campaigns towards the voters' Identity, meaning morals, character and so on, and that American culture puts a much higher priority on the latter.

If you extend this example to Religious Conservatives (a populous demographic to be sure) you can see why so many are drawn to "moral" authority figures even if it contradicts there own self interest.

I'm certainly not saying that one Party or people is more Moral than the other, and I'm not using the term "Self Interest" in the negative sense. I only wish to point out how American culture is attracted to perceived notions of strong character and the "Stern Father"

I imagine many of his staunch supporters also cringe or roll their eyes when he spouts of like this, but are able to put that aside given his broader role as a moral authority. It's kind of like how I can ignore Howard Stern's cruder segments and still listen (if he was still on in Canada that is

), waiting for his more inspired bits.
