The only thing that amazes me about this is that Pat Robertson has continued to amass a personal fortune (thought to be between $700 million and $1 billion) and a “Christian” war chest that will keep his broadcasting on the air for generations to come.  Why/how can people just send their money to someone, or some thing (CBN) that is so completely out of touch with reality?  See screen capture below:

Okay, we can just shrug and say people are looney.  But the looney people have the cash to spread their hatred, and their mental illness, to millions of other people and to future generations.

By the way, the link above (”a column”) does not work, so I suspect that CBN yanked the column as being too ridiculous.  Or, could it be that Americans United was wrong.  I checked the [4] CBN.com web site’s Search box, and the list of 93 articles by Kimberly Daniels clearly displayed the column mentioned in AU’s news release.  So this isn’t fiction.  But, when I tried to click on the article (marked below with the red arrow), it also comes back saying the article cannot be found.  That confirms it was there, and is no more.

Robertson, by the way, is not a minister. He resigned as one when he ran for President (try not to dwell on that for more than a moment or two or you may go into shock) in the early 90’s.  But his “Christian” Bullcasting keeps on presenting itself as a bona fide expression of Christian thought.

Happy Halloween!
