Pat Robertson has cancer

Soubrette said:


Well I assume that there are reasons why you think he should die?

And I assume from the person he seems to be that he would say similar things about people like you?

And that is the reason why you think he is an idiot thus don't care if he dies?

And the reason why he would think you were an idiot and thus wouldn't care if you died?

So there is no appreciable different between him and you :(

Now why would I care if someone wants me dead?

There are lots of people I would like to see dead. I don't see what the big deal is in saying you would like to see someone dead.

I laughed when I heard Pat Robertson had cancer. Doesn't he have some god protecting him?
 
worse than a dweeb

My humble opinion is that the very situation of being informed you have a terminal illness is almost worse than actually having the ilness.

They guy is a dweeb, but it's easy to just not listen to him. It's not like he has ever substantially affected my life or threatened it or my hapiness. I'd really hate to ever (knock on wood) get the news he did.

Pat Robertson is much worse than a mere dweeb. He exploits people in a way not very different at all from the way John Edward does. I have seen that bastard on TV claiming to heal suffering people and telling them that giving him money is giving it to god. He is not an innocuous, misguided innocent. He is a user of other human beings, and I'm sorry, but I have precious little sympathy for a d*ck like him. ◊◊◊◊ him and all of those of his ilk.

I'd prefer "lack of basic reading" than lack of compassion towards any human being.



I am not going to waste my time on anyone who is capable of thinking this way.

Good Bye.

So...you're wrong and you won't admit it, instead choosing to pretend to be offended?

Nice.

Hmmmm I see I'm not making myself very clear.

You appear to be lacking the very humanity which makes you say that he deserves to die a horrible and painful death.

You are no better than he - just in a position where you are not able to disseminate your hate to such a large audience.

Whether you care or not is of no relevence to my point.

Well, no. She's rightfully offended at your unbelievably inhumane opinion. No one "deserves" cancer.

You are exactly as bad as Robertson - wishing death and destruction to people you hate. Your hate has blinded you.

I hate him too, but I'm not going to be subhuman about it.
 
H,
I have a personal policy which is unbreakable. I cannot tolerate people insulting me. In fact, I don't think that anyone should offend others just because our ideas differ or because there was a misunderstanding. In this regard, I am a coward; I prefer to put an end to any discussion immediately.

But, I have to accept you insulting me by claiming that I think all people who believe in god deserve a painful death? If you're such a believer, why don't you try a little "do unto others" for a bit, hmmm?

"Hello, Standard." "Oh, hello, Standard."

I never said he deserves to die a horrible and painfull death.

You want the guy to live, I would like to see him dead. Deal with it.

But the thing is that the 'victims' generally don't consider themselves as such. It makes the situation a little different than somone like a bank robber...

I don't see how. I don't see how someone being gullible gives anyone the right to defraud them.
 
Finding it ironic that a phony like Roberson has cancer and not caring if he lives or dies, does that make me exactly the same as him?

Absolutely not. I do have compasion for others and the pain they go through. Just not for him. I do not lie and cheat and extort money and guilt from others. I do not blame victims for terrorist acts. I do not encourage people to hate and shun others. I do not condem others and their loved ones to an eternal torture.

I repeat, Robertson is rich and he will not suffer. He will receive the best care in the world no matter the cost. He got that money through the suffering and gullibility of others. There are people dying of cancer right now who could be cared for with just Pat's chump change yet I would hazard a guess that he will demand more money from his listeners.

Perhaps if he turned 180 and gave away all his possessions and really saw the light, I would hold some compassion for him. I doubt that is going to happen.
 
Good points...maybe I should be happier than I am about this news.

Sou, in the interests of fairness: I think you're wrong.

Ffed wishes Robertson dead because of the things he's done.

Robertson wishes people were dead because of what they are.

Big difference.

I have never heard Robertson claim that he "wished" anyone dead. If you mean terrorists who attack the US and Israel then yes, they deserve to die at the earliest possible convenience. If you are referring to others, who are you talking about?

Sorry, but I remember years ago working in "Christian" radio, listening to guys like Robertson spewing their hateful bilge on a willing audience, demanding death and damnation for people who had done little, if anything, wrong. Most of the gays and lesbians I've known over the years have been far kinder, and much more honest to me over the years than Pat Robertson ever was to anyone else.

Robertson will take your money, and he'll give you a pat on the head and tell you what a faithful person you are. You might get a nice warm feeling, but if that's all you wanted, you could have gotten the same thing from a hot shower. Funny, but it seems the very people he condemns may charge you more, but at least they give good value for the dollar.

My reaction to this is that I'm hopeful he finds himself in the very place he deserves. He's gleefully pronounced such a fate on millions, I say let him join them.

Sorry, I realize this sounds hard, but when you've been where I have, you learn to deal with hard.
 
Not really "wishing" someone to be dead, but certainly advocating their deaths:

"The wars of extermination have given a lot of people trouble unless they know what was going on. The people in the land of Palestine were very wicked. They were given over to idolatry; they sacrificed their children; they had all kinds of abominable sex practices; they were having sex, apparently, with animals; they were having sex men with men, and women with women; they were committing adultery, fornication; they were worshipping idols, offering their children up; and they were forsaking God.
"God told the Israelites to kill them all -- men, women and children, to destroy them. And that seems to be a terrible thing to do. Is it? Or isn't it?"
"Well, let us assume there were 2,000 of them, or 10,000 of them living in the land, or whatever number there was of them. I don't have the exact number. Pick a number. God said, 'Kill them all.'
"Well, that would seem hard, wouldn't it? That would be 10,000 people who would probably go to Hell. But, if they stayed and reproduced, in 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 or 100 more years, they could conceivably be -- 10,000 would go to a 100,000 -- 100,000 could conceivably go to a million. And then, there would be a million people who would have to spend eternity in Hell! And it's far more merciful to take away a few than to see in the future a 100 years down the road, and say, 'Well, I have to take away a million people that would forever be apart from God, ' because the abomination was there like a contagion. God saw that there was no cure for it. It wasn't going to change; their hearts weren't going to change; and all they would do is cause trouble for the Israelites, and pull the Israelites away from God, and prevent the truth of God from reaching the Earth."
"So, God, in love, took away a small number that he might not have to take away a large number."
--Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, May 6, 1985

I found this quote interesting...

"It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into (our) institutions (today) are primarily termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that we have.... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation."--Pat Robertson, New York Magazine, August 18, 1986

apparently he has never seen a termite mound, they are pretty large buildings for an insect.

I wonder how he can explain how nations are built by non christians? there are quite a few of them out there.
 
I think its fine that xians preach that their God heals. What I do however dislike is that they do not act responsibly and inform their flocks of the outright charlatans cleaming God heals at their meetings and fleecing the gullible.

I hope Pat Robertson apologizes for his past after realizing that all of Oral Roberts', Richard Roberts', and Benny Hinn's won't heal him.

Its fine to have beliefs, but I feel evangicals are basically setting their flocks up to be marks for the Hinns of the world.
