Everybody Says Televangelist Rev Pat Robertson Right In Blaming Degenerate Red State Christian Perverts For Bible Belt Natural Disasters?

Pat Robertson, Televangelist Who Blamed Gay People for 9/11 and
Hurricanes, Dies

The conspiratorial hatemonger who founded the Christian Broadcasting
Network helped usher Christian-conservatism into the mainstream
June 8, 2023



Pat Robertson, the televangelist who ran for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1988, died on Thursday at age 93. The Christian
Broadcasting Network, which Robertson founded in 1960, announced the news
Thursday morning.

Robertson is widely credited with ushering Christian-conservatism into
mainstream politics in the 1980s and 1990s, and laying the groundwork for
the modern right-wing culture war. He has a history of extreme, bigoted
commentary — including that gay people and abortion caused 9/11, that
Haitians deserved the 2010 earthquake that ravaged the island nation, and
that feminists are evil.

The 700 Club, Robertson’s long-running program on the CBN, was his most
common platform for hate. In the days after 9/11, he brought on pastor
Jerry Falwell to discuss the tragedy. “I really believe that the pagans,
and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians
who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU,
People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize
America, I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this
happen,'” Falwell said, to which Robertson said “I totally concur” and
that the “agenda” has been adopted by the “highest levels of our
government.”


Robertson’s bigotry toward gay people was boundless. He said on The 700
Club that he wished Facebook had a “vomit button” for when he came across
a picture of gay people kissing, equated gay people with Nazis and
Satanists, and suggested God unleashed hurricanes and other natural
disasters as punishment for homosexuality. “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,” he said of Disney
World’s Gay Days. “It’ll bring about terrorist bombs; it’ll bring
earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor.”

Robertson was very much an active participant in the modern, far-right
Christian conservatism he helped create. He supported Donald Trump in
2016 and 2020, and described those trying to stop him from doing so as
“revolting against what God’s plan is for America.” After a gunman killed
60 people in Las Vegas in 2017, Robertson blamed “disrespect” for Trump.
Robertson broke from the former president after the 2020 election,
however, saying Trump needed to “move on” from the loss and that it would
be “a mistake” for him to run again in 2024.

R

Robertson is not a Roman Catholic and his ideas and theology are all
quite odd and aaainst all the past history of Tradition. In fact the
clery in the ROman Cahtolic Church like myself cannot run or hold
government offices. It would be stupid and we have no particular
alignment with any cause that is outside the Gospel in the obvious.
Imagine if I were a lawyer and a Judge. then they nominated me to the
supreme court. I would last for about 3 question before that said they
judge cannot be on the Supreme Court he is does no uphold the laws.

The conservative christian agenda is nothing It does not always aline
with the Gospel by and stretch. In fact just provlaiming the Gsopel and
preaching it can get us clergy into many issues. Mostly they we do not
always practive what we preach. It is called sin and I deal with daily.
Sin seems to just sit and wait till it has the chance.

I don't who you are but I think you are confused really bad.
