As a former guest on his TV productions and attending a church with one of his campaign strategists, I know of Pat Robertson's belief, style and success. From that perspective, I have applauded some of his work and frowned at other aspects. One of his better endeavors is Operation Blessing International. It is worthy of contributions received and is managed ethically. There is a large movement within the Christian community to support the Jewish people and the nation of Israel at this time of turmoil. Prophecy is being fulfilled. The signs are clear and understandable to those who bother to study them. It is only a question of unknown time. Since the time is unknown we must do what we feel called to do in the time we, as individuals, have on this earth. Personally, at this juncture, I am in favor of Glenn Beck's project, Restore Courage.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethefly 6 #3 July 15, 2011 Pat Robertson and those like him are nothing but thieves fleecing the pockets of the delusional sheep they tend to. Only one preacher has my respect (and I being an atheist!) and that person is Larry Rice. He puts not one dime in his pocket and gives everything he has to helping those in need. If you give any cash to anyone, give it to Larry Rice. http://www.newlifeevangelisticcenter.org/ Rev. Rice is a liberal, so the RWC tend to hate him with a passion. Israel is nothing more than land grabbers claiming rights to land they lost more than two thousand years ago.

tkhayes 348 #15 July 15, 2011 I don't doubt that Pat Robertson does something 'good' every day. But overall, he's a money-grabbing fuck that rides along preaching and taking people's money. He calls for the assassination of people - a real Christian. Kinda like my Uncle Fred - a great guy. would give you his last 20 bucks. help you build the garage. takes his kids on trips and camping, successgul businessman - but he has a problem with groping young girls. No matter what good he does, the bad that he does sorta undoes all that good. As far as Israel goes, I could care less one way or the other. The only reason the right wing Christian Evangelical movement supports Israel is because without Israel, the book of revelations, the end of the world, all that crap prophecy cannot come true. Problem is that the signs of the end were predicted hundreds of years ago, during the civil war, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, during the plague, during WWI and WWII, during Katrine - fucking hell - I am sick of predictions of the end - it's all bullshit. Get a life and face the music people. There is no god and if mankind spent half the time they spent in prayer trying to REALLY solve the problems of the world - this place we call earth would be nothing short of amazing. Instead, it is filled with people with delusions.....still pretty amazing - but wow, we could do so much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonsense! Global warming doesn't exist. Or it does exist but it's completely natural and not manmade. Or it is manmade but it's a good thing; CO2 is an amazingly effective aerial fertilizer! Or it's a pervasive conspiracy launched by evil, greedy, rich grad students and researchers, out to attack the poor defenseless coal and oil executives.
