Whatever you think about Pat's comments,
the actions of the organisation he founded (Operation Blessing) speaks volumes.
Robertson does good Deeds and Talks like an Assh*le..
LOL!!..
One has nothing to do with the other..
Making Excuses for someone,because they claim to be a Christian..
Takes away from the Real Christians I know and love..
They deserve better..
Especially from fellow Christians..
........................... ...OUTLAW
When did Pat Robertson blow up innocent people?
I knew I should have gone with bin Laden.
Osama bin Laden gives to orphans:

Lots of Ass*oles give to charity. Their still Ass*oles. Christian or Muslim or Atheist.
Chalam, you know how much I love and respect you, but what Robertson said was totally out of line with being a Christian - notwithstanding his "good works."
1 -2 Walking down the street, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked, "Rabbi, who sinned: this man or his parents, causing him to be born blind?" 3 -5 Jesus said, "You're asking the wrong question. You're looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do. We need to be energetically at work for the One who sent me here, working while the sun shines. When night falls, the workday is over. For as long as I am in the world, there is plenty of light. I am the world's Light." MSG
In light of the above, it seems that Robertson could also benefit from having his eyes "opened."

Amen, Sylvia!
The second of Jesus's 'greatest commandments' was to love your neighbor as yourself - which is certainly a good thing.
I don't care what some BS TV figure spews, regardless of what side he claims to be on (unfortunately, most people do care, and embrace.) There are liberals that spew the very finger-pointing, hateful crap that I find disgusting. It never helps the side the fingers aren't pointing at - it just inferiorates the other side for having their mistakes magnififed, and the good works they do ignored.
I care about actions and solutions. Shit happens. If Chrisitians do their best to contribute and help the people of Haiti, not just in prayer, but with actions and THEN with prayer and best wishes,
Who can find fault with that?

I clicked the link. This is what is written there
KOTI ASHRO, Afghanistan _ Benevolence International Foundation, an Illinois-based Muslim charity, asks Americans to open their wallets to help Afghan orphans living near the dusty village of Koti Ashro outside Kabul.
What Benevolence does not mention, on its Web site or in its newsletters, is that these orphans attended an institution that until recently was run by a Taliban official who was also a good friend of Osama bin Laden, according to former Taliban leaders and workers at other relief groups.
It does not say that Osama bin Laden gives to charity at all.
It does say that a Taliban official, a good friend of Laden takes money from a Muslim "charity" to use in a orphan "institution".
I watched a covert program showing the Taliban operating in Afghanistan and it wasn't a pretty sight. One thing for sure, the welfare of these orphans is not their concern. See for yourself

Hi Sylvia,
Here's the other side of the biblical issue you have touched upon.
13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you."
Many people took offence at Jesus' words, even His own disciples.
57 And they took offense at him.
But Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor."
12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?
Christians are not here to offend, we are here to love but sometimes speaking the truth in love will offend some.
1 John 3:17-18 (New International Version)
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Pat has spoken what he believes to be true and his actions show true love.
Blessings,
Stephen
Mr. Robertson has huge wads of cash. Embezzeled from his sheep. Pat Robertson has no compassion, no class. He needs to go away. We need to ignore him. ALL of us .
Pat Robertson is a dick and the Lord would do well to shove a huge cork in his pie hole. At the very least. IMHO.
Christians are not here to offend, we are here to love but sometimes speaking the truth in love will offend some.
There was no love in Robertson's comments. Anyone who would defend that egotistical leech is either as evil as he is, or a poor dupe.
