National comedic treasure Pat Robertson has once again allowed words to come out of his face, triggering a Severe WTF Warning from the National Surrealism Agency. On a segment of his 700 Club television program, Robertson and co-host Kristi Watts were doing a Dear Abby style thing, giving people the same sort of
"We love orphans, we love helpin’ people. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that I want to take all the orphans around the world into my home…”
Translation: "We love collecting $ from suckers by promising them a ticket to eternal fantasy-land. But SPENDING $ on them? Are you kidding?"
Although it has stiff competition, that just may be the most depraved thing Pat Robertson has ever said. It should be engraved in granite and displayed prominently at whatever sham educational / divinity "schools" he heads, as well as CBN.
I still want to believe that he didn't actually utter those words...
Most days I have no use for the Southern Baptists but this response to Robertson by the Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is a sweet piece of writing: <a href="http:\/\/www.christianpost.com\/news\/pat-robertson-vs-the-spirit-of-adoption-80217\/" target="_blank">&quot;If you want to see the gospel of Christ, the gospel that has energized this church for two thousand years, turn off the television. The grinning cartoon characters who claim to speak for Christ don&#039;t speak for him.&quot;</a>
Had a visit from Jesus last night at 3AM after maybe a few Jagers (looks a little like Peter O&#039;Toole at the beginning of <i>The Ruling Class</i>, but swarthier.) He said the Devil was an early attempt at independent thought -- something the Angels were never good at-- but he turned out to be an asshole. Yes, Jesus uses words like &quot;asshole&quot;.
I hate to say t, but Robertson is right. Orphan children should be tested for physical and emotional defects. If they have such defects, they should be put down.
10 minutes? You&#039;re doing it all wrong. Next time they show up, answer the door stark naked and proclaim in a loud voice &quot;Have I HEARD the word of God? Why I AM God!!&quot;
90 seconds tops...
(unless you happen to look like Kate Upton, in which case you&#039;ll probably be responsible for spontaneously converting them to your brand new religion)

In the article WABishop linked to above, the writer (a Southern Baptist minister, among other things) says:
<i>Let me just say this bluntly. This is not just a statement we ought to disagree with. This is of the devil.</i>

Not sure, but the kid with the gun is an interesting touch.

could be worse- could be bagpipes...
I&#039;m pretty sure they simply figured out right away that there was zero chance that they&#039;d be getting any from this fundie crackpot
I thought Ron Paul was everybody&#039;s favorite Keebler Elf
Tune in next week as Pat rails against the evils of the AFS student exchange program...
Thanks. Am returning to mocking mode in 3...2...1
I.Fucking.Love.You!
Wow, he really put the &quot;suffer&quot; into &quot;suffer the little children to come unto me&quot;.
&quot; a Severe WTF Warning from the National Surrealism Agency&quot; is a genius turn of phrase, BTW, and covers so much right-wing activity.
