Pat Robertson: God tells me it's Bush in a blowout

[underpants]

Now THAT’S a headline

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-12robertson,0,3698134.story?coll=sfla-home-headlines

Posted January 2 2004, 12:44 PM EST
NORFOLK, Va. -- Pat Robertson said Friday that God told him President Bush will be re-elected in a landslide.


``I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way,'' Robertson said.

``The Lord has just blessed him,'' Robertson said of Bush. ``I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him.''

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, a frequent Robertson critic and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said he had a prediction of his own.

``I predict that Pat Robertson in 2004 will continue to use his multimillion broadcasting empire to promote George Bush and other Republican candidates,'' Lynn said in a statement. ``Maybe Pat got a message from (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove and thought it was from God.''

1. Praise Jaysus

:puke:

[kysrsoze]

50. Didn't God tell that fucker to run for president too?

Not to be judgemental, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell arrive in hell, cause it will be quite an event. Of course I'd need a quick escape route - I'm not perfect, but don't think I deserve to go there too.

[Norbert]

61. Didn't the asshole also say US citizens brought on 9/11

because of years of Godlessness.

I hope he and Falwell opens their piehole a lot this year. We can use their turning off potential shrub voters.

[LiberalFighter]

75. And by Robertson's logic he should had won

[yelladawg]

90. Voices???

What other voices does Pat listen to?

They used to burn people who said they heard voices.

[ozymandius]

120. Yes. But president of what? nt

[phillybri]

Robertson is a money-grubbing scumbag....

Move on...

[CO Liberal]

95. That's a Bit Unfair to All The Scumbags In The World

Pat Robertson is lower than whale shit. And whale shit sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

[grayrace]

106. <--------still an athiest, thanks PAT

everyone lets all scream at the same time.

ITS PAT!

[cthrumatrix]

2. translation - shrub has a bomb go off to create martial law...no election

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. LOL... I had to check.

What a "moran."

I love the quote from Barry Lynn: "Maybe Pat got a message from (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove and thought it was from God."

[underpants]

14. Big plans for big China too apparently

:eyes:

I hope he didn't get some inside info for Rove on THAT one :scared:

[Just Me]

18. Me, too,...Rove - God,...I can see how Pat could get confused,...

,...since Rove gives him "the power",...ee-yay-yuh (*giggle*). Pat is so far "out there",...it's hard for me to believe anyone takes him seriously. But,...alas, that's just me.

[davidinalameda]

that is priceless

:yourock:

[RandomKoolzip]

4. Damn, I thought it said "Bush gets a Blowjob."

Wooo, for another Monica-sized scandal right now....


Oh, and BTW, fuck you, Robertson.

[underpants]

10. Oh, and BTW

very funny

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. That's what I thought, too!

Did a double take.

[PaDUer]

64. I thought he wanted

a blowjob from *..

[LiberalFighter]

76. Like Robertson doing Rove or vice versus

That would be priceless!

Or any of the Repug presidents doing each other

[ElementaryPenguin]

5. Robertson evidently believes Karl Rove is the Lord!

:puke:

[truthspeaker]

6. I hope this prediction is as accurate as his hurricane predictions

[Flubadubya]

7. I think he's partially right....

"I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad..."

This much is true, but it isn't because God favors him... it's because the Media does! :grr:

[neverforget]

22. You got that right! The media DOES favor *. He can do no wrong

in the eyes of the media.....:grr:

[Flubadubya]

34. Yes, and that is why...

Robertson's disgusting prediction will probably come true.

I had a conversation with an uncle last night about Bush (whom he supports because his church does), and he had never even known about such things as the TANG scandal or the "Trifecta" statemnents, and on and on. WHY? Because the goddamned media keeps a lid on it, that's why.

Several months ago someone started to bring up Shrubs AWOLism on Wolff Blitzer's Sunday show. The man nearly came out of his seat, virtually screaming "No, No, No!. We're not going to talk about that!"

This is why the American public is "blissfully ignorant" and why the SOB probably will win in a frickin' landslide. I blame it all on Media complicity and public apathy & laziness.

[underpants]

36. I have to ask -The TANG scandal?

I'm not sure what that means.
Info?

[frylock]

39. texas air national guard

[Flubadubya]

41. Texas Air National Guard...

when he went AWOL. Sorry.

[underpants]

44. Oh I had never heard it referred to as such

NO most people don't know about that.

I think it was in Franken's book (maybe Conason's) froma newpaper article where a Lexis-Nexus search revealed 1,571 columns about Clinton's draft record during his campaign and only ~49 in W's. That was shocking in it's concreteness.

[LiberalFighter]

80. I tried looking up the transcript but don't have enough info

It would be helpful if we can refer to these statements directly.

If you can provide more information that would allow me to track it down I would appreciate it. Thanks.

CNN Sunday

[Flubadubya]

86. Well, LiberalFighter...

I wish I could be more help, but this occurred several months ago when he still had is 3rd hour discussion group on Sunday. It has been so long ago, I certainly don't remember the date, but I sure do remember that he did it.

I do remember that it was the black lady panel member (can't remember her name) who started to discuss the matter when he practically screamed "No, no, no, we're not going to discuss that." It was just appalling.

I actually started a thread here on DU about it at the time,but it was such a long time ago. I do think it was during the past year, but don't know for sure. Anyway, I'd be glad to provide you a link if it were possible, but trust me... it happened.

[LiberalFighter]

97. Was the lady part of Gore's campaign in 2000?

Do you remember any other topics?

Hmmm that 3rd hour discussion group might provide me a clue too when I get a chance.

[Faygo Kid]

8. It will only get worse. Stay focused.

By November, not only will you be allied with Satan if you oppose Bush, you will also be guilty of treason. Man, what a scary year this portends to be.

[underpants]

19. "With us or against us" could take on a whole new meaning

I agree with you and there is an LBN thread about how each side will not worry so much about swing voters (big mistake) but focus on getting out their base to vote.

[okieinpain]

72. no shit

[alcuno]

9. Pastor said on Thurs that, "We have given in to the culture of death."

Wonder who he was talking about, Pat? An apocryphal president is a fundamentally bad idea for any government.

[Turbineguy]

11. Blasphemy

[BadGimp]

12. I got you blow out right here Pat

I'd like to see Pat blow it out his arse...

[Bucky]

13. Please move this thread to "Latest Breaking Vomit" forum

[underpants]

17. Hey it is LBN

30 minutes ago or so

:shrug:

[0007]

52. "Latest Breaking Vomit" forum"????????

Please explain this rude remark!

[ozymandius]

121. Watch your shoes and your step. Here it comes.....

[wakfs]

15. Only thing worse....

...is that too many Americans will believe this crap.

[devinsgram]

31. That would be great, if they believe it.

perhaps they would then think they do not have to go vote. If it's in the bag,cause God said it was a done deal, why go vote?

Could this possibly be good for us?

[okieinpain]

73. what I want to know is if bush loses then what is pat going to

say then. Is he going to say that god was wrong, or that maybe he doesn't have a line to god, or maybe god doesn't like pat. hmmmmm!!!

[LiberalFighter]

81. You mean that God has it rigged?

Or when it is explained to the bush and religious fanatics their vote has already been cast for them by God.

And if they still want to vote then it means they don't trust God to do the right thing.

[dand]

16. Pat is a reptilian little bastard,

I live down the street from his riding stables and his four star restaurant and Inn, when we see him coming we sit down, cross our legs and get a grip on our wallets.

[Whoa_Nelly]

38. Welcome to DU, dand!

:hi:

[karlschneider]

60. Invite me over, if I can get close enough to the motherfucker, I'll give

him a quick one-way trip to hell.
:grr:

[Maeve]

62. Picture of Pat the Reptile

[dand]

67. Perfect picture

Thanks Maeve, thanks for the welcome Angel-O- Peace

[Rufus T. Firefly]

88. Actually that's an amphibian...

...sorry to be a pain the ass. :-)

Anyway I think that little froggy is way too cute to be the "Reverend" Robertson.

[Maeve]

110. Using the older, less exact definition

As in the 1913 Webster's http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/reptile

2. (Zo<"o>l.) One of the Reptilia, or one of the Amphibia.

Note: The amphibians were formerly classed with Reptilia, and
are still popularly called reptiles, though much more
closely allied to the fishes.

So there! :P

Altho I agree that it is rather cute for Pat...

[Zomby Woof]

101. Indian River Road maybe?

I used to live near the Centerville Turnpike (a subdivision between it and Kempsville Road) before they sealed it off for his little empire a few years ago.

This was back in the 80's when Centerville went directly in front of what was then CBN.

I never saw Pat in any of the local places, but my friends and I spotted Ben Kinchlow with his family at Pizza Hut (if it is still there on Kempsville Road nearby) once. We talked out loud about Satan and his plan for our future. Great fun.

Welcome to DU!

ZW (Green Run High Class of '85)

[dand]

111. Indian River and Centerville

Pat used to pop into Shoney's once in a while in the early 70s my daughter was GRH 89

[Woodstock]

20. God cut off Robertson's connection long ago

Robertson's calls get rerouted now - way down south

[cliss]

21. Of course. Why do I have no trouble believing this?

"Blowout". Such an interesting word. Like in a flat tire. Or a pineapple grenade exploding. A Freudian slip, maybe?

Of course, Pat just sees Bush's indiscretions as nothing more than "God's play". Meaning, he can make as many mistakes as he wants, and he still floats to the top. How charming.

Whatever happened to accountability? Like being responsible for your actions? I guess this means that Bush is God's Beloved Child, the Apple of his eye, meaning he can do no wrong.

Unlike the rest of us who have to live with our actions. Everything we do is subject to good results or bad results, depending on the deed. I guess those rules don't apply to Bush or the rest of his family.

Arrogance in the nth degree.

[Clyde39]

25. Bush does not worry at all about his actions

Rove and the "Liberal" media take care of his gaffes, etc. Accountability is the least of his worries! I'm still waiting for an accounting of his reason for sitting around 1/2 hour while our country was under attack.

[underpants]

28. What like getting CREDIT for the single largest national security failure

EVER????

Oh and LYING to start a war?

[Judi Lynn]

23. Omigod!

Looky!



So THAT'S why Pat Robertson worships him, and why the Holy Schemer Rove serves him.



Can you imagine what kind of @$$#### someone would have to be to DELIBERATELY set this photo up to get this effect?

[Flubadubya]

24. It was probably Photo-shopped...

but the perpetrator is an asshole just the same! :evilgrin:

[cliss]

42. FD, that is the most horrid, obscene

awful photo I have ever seen in my life (trying to stay calm). This one is almost as bad as the one around Thanksgiving that was posted here. It showed Bush with a golden crown behind him which said "King of Kings". It seemed like it was deliberately hung there so Bush could stand below it and be "God".

But this new one - I swear Rove did this on purpose. They will use this one as the main campaign photo. BUSH IS GOD. See the holy aura around his face.

Don't look too closely at his face, though.

[CivilRightsNow]

51. Those arent new photos

There are many more. They werent photoshopped. They were just rigged.

[CivilRightsNow]

55. More

I also like this one of Laura ;)

[Judi Lynn]

69. Funny, I've never seen this kind of set-up for any elected Presidents!

There must just be something magical about an imposter President!

[Flubadubya]

74. WOW!! Psychadelic Pickles!!

:evilgrin:

[Judi Lynn]

68. Unbelievable! Absolute proof they are "working the chumps"

That's really a cynical manipulation of some poor, ignorant, uneducated segment of the popupulation. It just could be someone is stupid enough to read these things as being "signs from gawd" or some such nonsense.

To normal, healthy minds, it's a warning sign these people will stop at nothing, no matter how bizarre.

[West Coast Democrat]

26. No Need for Christians to Even Bother Going to the Polls

How do statements like this mobilize the christian-right voting base?

[Skip Intro]

29. Ugh - Hey Pat, I'm PRAYING too!

Praying for our nation's deliverence from the likes of the bush regime and YOU.

Would Christ have lied to the world and slaughtered and maimed tens of thousands of people that were no threat to him?

I cannot stand these hypocritical, unChristian "christians." They use the Christian Bible like bush uses the US flag, perverting and soiling its true meaning. Really gets to me.

[Cocoa]

30. God has a poor handicapping record

Rush got his Donovan McNabb ideas from Him too.

[Deesh]

32. Pat Robertson --

-- is a brain-addled egomaniac.

Some sincere Christians have distanced themselves from his manipulative and hateful remarks, but not nearly enough. It would be nice if mainstream Christian ministers would more vociferously marginilize an unstable and misrepresentative sensibility like Robertson's.

[Flubadubya]

37. A number of quite sincere Christian friends of mine....

have told me that they do NOT endorse either Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell and recognize them as radical fringe elements of "Christianity" and they don't like them either.

I asked them do they vote for Republican candidates, and of course they said yes. I quickly, but politely informed them that, if that's the case, then they do INDEED endorse the agendas of Mr. Robertson and Mr. Falwell.

[Doctor Pedantic]

43. I'm a quite sincere Christian

And Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell et al. make me sick. These people represent the antithesis of everything Jesus stood for.

If Robertson had a message from God (not likely) telling him Bush is going to win, I think we can consider that a warning more than a promise....

[Flubadubya]

45. But you are also obviously a democrat...

What do you think about "sincere" Christians who claim not to accept Robertson & Falwell's ideologies, but yet vote Republican? I believe anyone who votes Republican is furthering those fools' causes.

[Doctor Pedantic]

48. Well....

I think we need to bear in mind that many Republicans, including Christians, don't buy into the whole fundamentalist jihad business. They're Republican for economic or military issues, and don't share the vision of Robertson/Falwell etc. for a theocratic America. So it's certainly conceivable for Christians to vote Republican because they want lower taxes -- not because they want prayer in school.

[goforit]

85. So Republicans don't look at the whole issue when they vote?

Figures.

[JesusNoRepublican]

122. mainstream Christian ministers are silenced!

mainstream Christian ministers are silenced even here at DU, where one of the only DU'er known to be a clergy person, "Liberator_Rev" has been banned for daring to point out that the Roman Catholic hierarchy is NOT on OUR side, but is part and parcel of "the Religious Right" !

[donco6]

33. I'm just curious what Pat R. considers . . .

. . . a W* "mistake"?

It seems to me, Bush hasn't made any as far as Robertson is concerned. War, death, corporate greed, enriching the rich, religion in school, what's wrong with that? So, I wonder what Pat thinks Bush* did that was a "mistake"?

Oh, never mind. He's probably just upset that Bush* didn't set up the gay/lesbian concentration camps yet.

[uhhuh]

77. Well

I'm sure he thinks that Bush not supporting his business buddy Charles Taylor was a mistake, but there are a lot of dictators that Robertson can do business with, so he is forgiven.

[oasis]

35. Good. This means rich evangelical laymen will continue to get tax breaks

as a hedge against the rapture not coming to pass during this lifetime.

[izzie]

40. Isn't it scary to think they let these people vote?

I am praying God will save us from these fruit cakes who dare to call them self Christians as they stab you with their crosses.

[mobuto]

46. Zeus and Athena are behind John Kerry

Hector, vaunt as you will, for Jove the son of Saturn
and Apollo have vouchsafed you victory; it is they who have vanquished
me so easily, and they who have stripped the armour from my shoulders;
had twenty such men as you attacked me, all of them would have
fallen before my spear. Fate and the son of Leto have overpowered
me, and among mortal men Euphorbus; you are yourself third only in the
killing of me. I say further, and lay my saying to your heart, you too
shall live but for a little season; death and the day of your doom are
close upon you, and they will lay you low by the hand of Achilles
son of Aeacus.

-Homer

[0007]

54. Now I know why I never read Homer!

[Fovea]

107. Sigh

Greek is a lot more elegant than that, if you can read Greek.
Inflected languages have power and precision moreso than syntactically ordered ones. It is that when you too lightly transliterate them, they sound pretty fractured.

[mobuto]

119. My fault

I posted an excerpt from the first translation I could find. My Ancient Greek is a bit rusty, but there are still very readable and gripping translations of Homer. The material stolen above isn't from one of them.

[DemoTex]

47. Read Robert Boston's book on Pat Robertson:

The Most Dangerous Man in America?: Pat Robertson and the Rise of the Christian Coalition. It is a bit dated (published 1996), but still an informative piece on this pathetic icon of the religiously insane.

[Thor_MN]

89. Demo, just what happened in Texas so that the state is afflicted with

its plague of whacko televangelists? It seems almost all of them are either there or in Florida. One of them recently set up shop up here, but he sounds like he's from down your way.

[LiberalFighter]

96. You mean the likes of David Koresh?

[Thor_MN]

98. Nope, the run of the mill...

Turn the TV on starting at about 4AM Sunday morning and flip channels until you hear someone shouting. They will probably have a southern accent and fit more than three syllables and about 7 B's into the word Bible. Seems like most of them (at least way more than random chance would dictate) are based either in Texas or Florida. I've always wondered why.

[DoYouEverWonder]

49. God and Robertson sure have poor taste in world leaders

Mobutu, Taylor, and Bu$h.

So far they're batting a thousand.

[stickdog]

53. Well, God tells me that both Bush & Robertson are going to hell.

My headline for this story:

"Pat Robertson Worships the Anti-Christ, Says God Gave Him an Omen"

[KamaAina]

56. But, but, but, She told ME it was gonna be Carol Moseley-Braun!

Is She just messing with our heads again?

Or has Pat finally lost it?

:-)

[Cocoa]

57. I wonder if Bill Bennett gets hot tips from God too

kind of an unfair advantage.

[Maeve]

58. Pat's tuned into the wrong channel

If this is the same "God" who told him he'd be president, it sure ain't the one I'm familiar with! Pat needs to realize:
Is minic cuma aingeal ar an Diabhal féin.
There is often the look of an angel on the Devil himself.

[indypaul]

108. Think it might be the same "God"

that told Pat to get off the boat headed for Korea and
sent Chicken-Hawk-In-Chief AWOL. What better examples
for our troops and veterans than these two cowards?

[Lisa]

59. Robertson beats out CNN for premature election-calling?

I love Rev. Lynn's comment -- "Maybe Pat got a message from (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove and thought it was from God."

[teach1st]

63. Now it's time to witness for your faith, Mr. Robertson...

..if God told you that GW is a lock for the election, then it has to happen, what with infallibility and all. Implore all of your followers or whatever they are to skip voting this year so that the true miracle of your relationship with God can be appreciated. The Immaculate Election!

By the way, Mr. Robertson, got a line on the Super Bowl? Beats begging on TV.

[Rex]

65. Pat worships Diebold?

HA! I always knew he prayed to a false god!!!!

[uhhuh]

78. Yep

GOD= Good 'Ol Diebold.

[scarface2004]

66. so electronic voting is rigged!!

figures!!

[goforit]

87. Bingo!!!..........He knows that it's fixed.

Ahhhh the hand of Satan sits at his side.

[rustydog]

70. Pat Robertson has a heaing deficiency God said

Pat, Bush blows.

Of course, God told Pat Robertson to run for president, remember....Maybe God has Punk'd Patty-boy.

[TheWebHead]

71. more great news

the more this conservative leaders insist that Bush will win by landslide, the less inspired their minions will be to go out and vote... and the more infuriated it will make liberals to go out and prove them wrong. This is sort of like a player on the opposing team guaranteeing victory, the newspaper clippings get plastered all over the other team's locker room by the gleeful coach.

[uhhuh]

79. Does his organization

Still have tax exempt status? This is outright campaigning over the airwaves for a particular candidate. To say that God has annointed his selection is more than an endorsment, it is bald faced manipulation of people who take him to be a religious leader. I hope there's a way to slap him down for it.

[coloradodem2005]

82. Pat Robertson is a f*cking idiot.

[Kathleen04]

83. Right..

Elected in a blowout.. :hurts:

[SideshowScott]

84. Only God pat worships is the dollar bill...

On behalf of Va Beach i just want to say im sorry this guy is from here..

[number6]

91. flush Pat Robertson down the toilet with your TV !!!

:hurts::hurts::hurts::hurts::hurts::hurts:

[54anickel]

92. Playing Devils advocate here - I think Pat is crying for attention from

Shrub and Unca Karl. Don't you think he knows they just might get a bit concerned with that "he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad"

Same with the idea that his followers have it in the bag, no need to vote. I think Pat is yanking Karls chain. He wants something, I'm betting it's that Bush stop talking so nice about Islam, Bush on his show for a little heart to heart discussion on the idea, he wants something.

[Gman]

93. This is WONDERFUL News!

Tell the "christians" they don't even need to bother to go vote. Its in the bag because Pat said so. If they vote, they are then doubting the "word" of God according to Pat.

[DS1]

94. Encourage him to keep saying that

More fundies may stay home.

[ScreamingMeemie]

99. Is God allowed to talk like that??

;)

[Cat Atomic]

100. Well, I hope Pat will admit that God was wrong next November.

I wonder how he'll cope with a God who is not omniscient?

[young_at_heart]

102. Has God told this to others?

Who all has God told this prediction to? Nostradamus made predictions.....I don't know about God!

[NickB79]

103. Is this the same George W. Bush who

"Goes without God", according to the Pope?

Yeah, I'm gonna take the word of a fundy TV preacher over that of the Pope's any day, sure.

[Manix]

104. Robertson is a lying, worthless, piece of shit !!

nt

[polmaven]

113. Now, now...

It isn't healthy to hold in your feelings that way. Try to open up and tell us what you really think of him! You'll feel much better!

[Judi Lynn]

105. Pat Robertson advised Ronald Reagan on Guatemala, f'r crissakes

You know how much magic Ronald Reagan wrought, butting into their affairs.

(snip) CANDIDATE ROBERTSON'S CENTRAL AMERICA POLICY
by Sara Diamond, copyright 1986

TV preacher Pat Robertson is the only prospective
presidential candidate who not only has a Central America policy
but also provides Bibles, beans, and maybe even bullets to U.S.
backed forces in the region.

Until recently, Robertson was seen by most as just another
slick televangelist. But his soft-spoken style is misleading; his
actions speaker louder than his words.

Robertson's controversial activities include: support for
the slaughter of thousands of Indians by a Guatemalan dictator;
public praise for the reputed leader of Salvadoran death squads;
collaboration with murky U.S. mercenary groups; and the provision
of chaplains and funds to the contra army seeking to topple the
government of Nicaragua. (snip)

(snip) These bright statistics don't obscure Robertson's notorious
involvement in Central America. It began with the March 1982 coup
in Guatemala which brought General Efrain Rios Montt to power.
Montt is a member of Gospel Outreach, a fundamentalist sect based
in Eureka, California. Within a week of the coup, Robertson flew
to Guatemala to meet with Montt. (snip)

(snip) In June 1982 Montt aide Francisco Bianchi met with senior
Reagan administration officials and Christian Right leaders,
including: U.S. representative to the Organization of American
States William Middendorf, then Presidential counselor Edwin
Meese, then Interior Secretary James Watt, Ambassador to
Guatemala Fred Chapin, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Loren
Cunningham of Youth with a Mission.

Subsequently the State Department briefed Christian Right
leaders on the need for "private" support for the the Montt
regime. On the "700 Club" Robertson urged donations to
International Love Lift, an ongoing relief project sponsored by
Montt's U.S. shepherds from Gospel Outreach. Robertson also
successfully lobbied the Reagan administration to end the five-
year ban on military aid to Guatemala. (snip/...)

[LeinesRed]

109. THIS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING!!!!

Don't forget to set your VCR to tape the Daily Show on Monday night! I love when Jon has fun with Robertson's spew...

[AlFrankenFan]

112. Pat Robertson is a nut

Plain 'n simple

[opihimoimoi]

114. I can see it NOW. .""Prove Pat Wrong!! Vote Democratic""

Must be at least 20 000 000 Anti Pat Robertson individuals out there, if not more.

[AlFrankenFan]

115. LOL sounds like an idea!

And I'm sure there are a lot more. :D

[daleo]

116. Is God taking any action on this bet?

Perhaps Robertson could discuss this with his partner in virtue, William Bennett. Who knows, Rush might have received a message too.

[librechik]

117. a word or 5 about "prayer"

Pat and his followers are "charismatic Christians." This is a sect which believes that the power of prayer will overcome any sin. Literally, that repeating certain phrases over and over, like a chant, especially in a large group of like-minded adepts, holding hands in a circle and concentrating very hard after being put in a "prayerful" state: i.e., a hypnotoc state of high receptivity and suggestibility.

I don't see much difference between Pat and the Druids, say, or even, God forgive me (ahem) Satanists! It's literally a white witch coven, with the open goal of making the flock "prosperous" so they mainly pray for wealth, power, and revenge. To them, it's "holy."

Now this stuff is either good or bad, depending on what you pray for. Praying that a child recover from leukemia, say , is one thing. Praying that a Supreme Court Justice dies, as Pat did a few months ago, is quite another.

Look in on one of these 700 Club prayer circles some night. Dress them in robes, hoods, and light a few candles and...you see what I mean? Bring on the sacrificial judge!

Personally, I'm praying for Scalia to be the one Pat makes die. Now that would be justice!
