anti-christ
it is my opinion that Pat and his crew are really the leading troops for the coming of the anti-christ. They suck in all the stupid people and march on. I have no seen them announce any donations to helping these poor people.

Maybe he does believe in curses. While he has no missions in Haiti, he has quite a few in French speaking ( formerly French occupied) countries in Africa.
May have to look up where he stood with the American boycott of all things "French" after shock and awe. Bet he has a blessed fry daddy for his secret stash of french fries! Alas, I should pray for him. Sweet dreams Pat Sends him a nice choc bunny for Easter... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsvlqdPg8XU"]YouTube- Curse of the Zombie Jesus![/ame] |

Its a mistake to believe that the "Pat Robertsons" of the world have no bearing on the inner workings of the US. The man has half a billion dollars coming in yearly for his "mission". Politics (and politicians) are controlled by money and Pat Robertson is heavily invested in politics (not just in the US, he is also heavily invested overseas). Its a mistake to think that Pat is just a moronic old fool (although he is). That fool and others of his ilk control votes in our Congress and Senate. THAT is what is really terrifying about this.

Dig a little deeper about his financial empire.
He has several diamond and other gemstone mines all over Africa........... He and that man in the funny hat and dress better known as the Pope are both evil fuckers.

You got all upset when someone accused Mary Daly of being transphobic. How'd you think the Catholics on the site are going to feel when they see the Pope - you know, the guy in the dress who just happens to be the head of the Catholic Church? - being labelled an 'evil fucker'? I'm not a Christian, let alone Catholic, and really don't care for the current pope myself. Evil fucker though? C'mmon. Words |

The United States isn't as politically conservative, especially on social issues, as it is because of the "Moral Majority" or high levels of voter backlash against boogeymen. There is some of that, but it's not where the power is. It is because there are people with loads of power and money who are very invested in ensuring that conservatism, and who network, recruit, support in all kinds of ways, people to do the work to make that happen. Some of the faces change, but the mission statement remains the same. It's like the "good ol' boy network," but specifically for socially conservative Christianist politicians and political workers (lobbyists, Congressional and White House staffers, etc.). Some of them are cynics looking for a good hook into power, and others are true believers in the cause, but either way the net result is the perpetuation of ultra-conservative mores, especially in circles of influence. |

Curse Reversed...
Quote:
as exclaimed by the many watching Robertson and cronies on TV. I was cruising the Pacific Coast highway from San Diego along a beautiful stretch enjoying the view of the ocean** when I crashed..No.not really** the ocean, and heard a story about the voodoo curse being lifted by a group years ago. So I guess Pat R. didn't know God reversed the worse curse cause Pat doesn't listen to public radio . If we are what we eat, are we what we listen too also.? Thinking I will tune in to the Kids channel so I can be a super hero today.. Since the airwaves bring the truth, as does the written word to many, thought I would contribute to the knowledge base.. tells the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God. (doesn't say which God) So, here is the link and part of the story I heard...for those who like to read..--->http://redtory.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/haiti’s-“devil-pact”-explained/ Excerpt below: So there… even if one actually subscribes to the “Devil Pact” legend, as Robertson appears to, the unholy contract was voided some years ago by Christian do-gooder On 14 August 1997, God’s people in Haiti experienced a historic victory over Satan, a milestone in winning our country back for God. The reason lies in history. The slaves brought here from Africa have suffered incredibly for many years. On 14 August 1791, a slave leader by the name of Boukman called a secret meeting in a wood called Bois-Caiman near Cap Haitien, which was attended by a large number of slaves. They celebrated a satanic ceremony, sacrificing a pig and drinking its blood, swore to serve the Devil and dedicated Haiti to him. For 206 years, Bois-Caiman was a very holy place, a high place which could only be entered by witch doctors during Voodoo ceremonies. For 206 years, they have been meeting there every August 14 to sacrifice to Satan. A number of Christian leaders, including Paul and Gerald Clerie of Vision: Haiti and Christian leaders among the large numbers of Haitians in the USA, Canada, France and other countries, called Christians to unite on 14 August 1997 to pray and fast that Haiti would return to God. In Haiti’s towns, villages and mountains, Christians came together to fast and pray, held victory marches in the streets and a large event in the capital from 6am to 10pm during the holy invasion. Our church members started their march in front of the President’s palace and marched for 6 hours to the place where the satanic ceremony took place 206 years ago. We had informed the government and media of our intentions weeks before the event, and were told that the witch doctors would be there, as they were every year. When we arrived, they had hidden themselves, unable to directly confront the Christians. It was a significant spiritual battle to reach the tree under which the pig was sacrificed in the original ceremony. We formed a Jericho march, circling the magic tree seven times. On the seventh time around, God gave many people a vision of the Devil fleeing from the area. The Christians were overjoyed. We cancelled the satanic contract and broke the curse, before celebrating communion and dedicating the area as a place of prayer. We also declared 14 August to be a national prayer day, on which people should pray that Haiti will return to God. On the same day, several witch doctors were saved during the events in the capital. Three days after our holy invasion, the witch doctors returned to Bois-Caiman to bring their sacrifices and call on the spirits. After days of effort, nothing happened, because we had commanded the spirits never to return and dedicated the area to Christ. The witch doctors complained to the government and media. At first, the government also protested, speaking in a press release of ‘terrible damage to a Voodoo holy place in which no Christian had set foot for 206 years.’ By the grace of God, the government relented and respected our legal right as Haitians to gather at any place on Haiti, including Bois-Caiman, where they now allow all Christian groups to meet. The place is now very popular, and local Christians gather there daily for prayer and fasting. All Haitians now know that the country no longer has a pact with the Devil; the contract has been cancelled, the curse broken. So there… even if one actually subscribes to the “Devil Pact” legend, as Robertson appears to, the unholy contract was voided some years ago by Christian do-gooder..." see link for full story. There is hope. We have our own Planet...speaking the language of LOVE... |

Now, many people may call themselves conservative or hold conservative positions without consciously supporting racism, without believing in the most base credo of racism (that there are natural or divinely-given differences among races which result in racial superiority and inferiority), but when their choices and actions support a kyriarchy that reifies positions of privelege linked to race, class, ethnicity, sex, gender, religion, national origin, etc., the end result is one of reaffirming those racist beliefs and their power in our culture. |

Absolutely! I only first encountered the word a couple of years ago myself, but I appreciate the acknowlegement it allows to the complexity of power-over structures and the intersections of racism, classism, sexism, ableism, ageism, sizeism and all the other "isms" that impact our access to power and privilege.

Having deprogrammed myself from a fundamentalist Christian mindset a decade ago, I tend to take folks like Robertson, Hagee, Warren, et. al. *very* seriously. I presume that they mean what they say and say precisely what they mean. What's more, I presume that there are any number of people who believe the things that they spew forth. It can be very comfortable to dismiss Robertson as just some old cook sitting in a basement somewhere but I think that the time for that is past. I watched the queer movement dismiss the Christian right through the nineties, writing them off as some kind of rump movement of maybe a thousand people sitting in some basement church while all the while, the CR gathered strength, executing their stealth strategy with commitment and discipline. Their views have consequences and those of us who stand to lose the most from them coming to power would be well-served to take them seriously and to make certain that their words are heard beyond the safe circle where their ideas are welcome.

Pat Robertson is delusional. God is love. Nothing more, nothing less. What Robertson is spewing is hatred. I am glad I won't be in his shoes when he meets his maker.
