I guess I'll have to. You never really gave any evidence PR is a hypocrite.

Pat Robertson isn't what he seems.

Nothing more to say on the subject.

I am always surprised when a believer in God (presumably with some experiential basis for it or it is simply intellectual acceptance) scoffs at right brain sensitivities in others. Inexplicable.

Understanding the 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors | LiveScience

There are certain people who use their religion to separate themselves from the rest of humanity, sets them apart, makes them a step above everyone else. I believe this way of thinking opens the door for them to be huge hypocrites.

This little article is probably concerning anyone who thinks he is on a higher moral ground, though, including politicians (except Cory Booker ? ).
And people who point the finger at religious hypocrites are usually worse than the ones they point the finger at.

So you really have nothing to back up your comments with other than you just don't like his personality? Is that it?

Go back and read my post again. Whether or not I like a person has nothing to do with the energy I feel from them.

The "energy" you "feel from them" has nothing to do with whether or not they are a religious hypocrite. That was the discussion. So you don't believe he's a hypocrite, do you?

Ya took your troll pills this morning, didn't ya?

Anyway, he professes to be a Christian but his behavior is not Christ-like. He preaches that we should love our neighbor and then he makes "pronouncements" about Haiti, Katrina, Tornado Alley, and even Peyton Manning. Yep, he even said that Manning deserved to get burt because of what Elway and the Broncos organization did to Tim Tebow.

Such a loving Christian attitude!

As for the rest, although I am well read, well spoken and well educated I cannot find adequate words to explain something to you that you must experience to understand.

Think what you will, i'm through trying to justify anything to you. Now, be a nice little guy and go annoy someone else.

There you go!!!! That wasn't so hard now, was it? I only wanted a simple answer other than "my spirit told me".

You could have ended this the first time I asked the question had you simply backed up what you said with actual facts.

How can a religious leader suggest divorce to an individual when the bible clearly states otherwise?
