Pat Robertson: Putting A Buddha Statue In Your Yard ‘Will Bring Curses Upon You’ And Your Neighborhood (death, television)

I am confused why he would say this. Doesn't make sense.

He’s playing to his base because he knows they are idiots.

Only God knows why Robertson says the things he says.

For sure, Buddah never laid a curse on anyone.

It makes me wonder what senile old Pat would consider to be an acceptable substitute backyard statue.

He hates Catholics, so anything that resembles a crucifix is out. But he hasn't said much about hating Catholic saints.

Maybe a statue of St. Stephen, who was partially eaten alive (by humans), then stoned?

St. Wycliffe, who was dug up and burned at the stake after he died?

St. Sebastian, who was shot full of arrows and didn't die, so they clubbed him to death after he recovered?

Backyard barbecues are popular. So many Pat would like a statue of St. Lawrence. He was grilled alive, on a red-hot grill iron.

I think Pat Robertson has a violent mind hiding behind that smiling face of his. He is someone's idea of what a Christian minister is, but he sure isn't mine.

Because he's a senile (but wealthy) old loon?

Robertson is a fundamentalist Protestant Christian. He actually believes it. How is this confusing?

If I wanted to ensure a long life, I would be either a Supreme Court justice or a television evangelical preacher.



I mean, back in college, in the 1970s, we had Pat Robertson around, as well as Jim Bakker, Earnest Angley, Kenneth Copeland, and James Robinson, all still kicking.

He is your typical right-wing religious zealot. And just think, Republicans wanted to make him President once.

Some Republicans did, especially in Iowa.

Why would anyone care? I didn't even know he was still alive.

Well, I'm uber screwed. I not only have a Buddha but I also have several Hindu gods and some pagan statues. Better be on the lookout for lightning strikes.
