Pat Robertson is even creepier than you thought!!!!

From the online newsletter Church and State: Pat Robertson: Non-Religious Children Should Be Beaten Until They Respect Christian Beliefs:

In another example demonstrating that Pat Robertson believes in persecuting non-Christians and indoctrinating children, the televangelist openly suggested that parents should beat their kids until they respect Christian beliefs.

During yet another shameful episode of the 700 Club, which runs on Disney-owned channel ABC Family, Robertson received an email from a woman who claimed that her grandson disrespects their Christian faith when they visit their daughter on Christmas and chose not to visit this past year.

“We declined going to our daughter’s house on Christmas this year because there is always an argument, hard feelings etc.,” viewer Karen wrote.

“One grandchild comes high on marijuana, cursing and challenging our faith. I correct him and have told my daughter to ask him to respect our beliefs, but he keeps it up. Our daughter says she is a Christian but will drink too much and offend her daughter and her husband. Were we wrong to not to attend another Christmas that leaves us upset or someone angry? I have shared my beliefs many times with them and am ridiculed by this grandson and son-in-law.”

Robertson’s immediate solution? Beat the child until he respects Christianity.

“Somebody take that kid to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline,” Robertson advised before predicting that the kid would end up in prison if a strong male figure didn’t start beating him right away.

Or.............instead of beating the kid, you could just show him this picture:

1. Not really. He is just as creepy as I thought, and

this particular thing is only a sample. His creepiness passeth all understanding.

2. No

I have always found him to be several magnitudes worse than reprehensible, so he is not creepier than I think.

3. One way creep

I correct him and have told my daughter to ask him to respect our beliefs, but he keeps it up.
-

I wonder what she means by correcting him. And why can't she respect his beliefs?

4. Actually he's not.

5. Sounds like par for the course Pat Robertson

He has been spewing this kind of crap for decades, when he is not blaming natural disasters on homosexual people.

6. Patty loves to promote beatings (must have been fun

in his family)

He has said beat the wife for disobeying the husband, beat the sons for not being manly enough, keep the lesbians away from the children, especially at Thanksgiving. Why enjoy a nice dinner with family when you can line them up for beatings?

7. Beating "the fear of God" into your kids

Is just good Baptist parenting. And when your parents aren't around they give other church members permission to do it also.
Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it.

8. Why would anyone let another parent discipline your own kid?

Not talking about the beating, which inexcusable, but discipline in general is a parents' job not some random adult's.

10. Lots of schools and daycare facilities still use corporal punishment

The biggest reason why children are the only living things you can legally beat is because the bible says to do it.

11. Schools and daycares can't hit or even yell at children in my state, thank the legislature.

12. Lotta that going around in the when I was a little kid in the 60s, though it was on its way out.

13. In a cult

everyone's kids are YOUR kids. Sort of a fucked up version of it takes a village....

15. You're talking about parents who are trying to prevent

their kids from going to hell. They'll allow all kinds of scary things to be done to their kids. Wouldn't you, if you sincerely believed they were at risk of being tortured for eternity?

[Major Nikon]

9. He's just saying what a lot of Christians believe

The moral compass Christians use commands them to beat children up to and including execution for disrespecting their parents.
