    The man was pure evil, probably getting special treatment in hell for all the suffering he caused. Only question is where his followers went? Does sheer stupidity get you a pass?

    I liked and admired him. And he fearlessly faced the hate of those who hate Christians. He's in a good place.

    The world is always a better place when someone so filled with hate moves on.

    Isn't harboring hate on the newly dead just a bit much [even for here]?

    Nope. Just a statement of fact. I'm basing it on his support of brutal dictators who gave him diamond and gold mining concessions which prompted him to laud their great christianity. No way to play that but he was an evil, evil liar using christianity to amass personal wealth. I have nothing against Christianity, Jesus was a great teacher, shoot, even CSNY called him the first non violent revolutionary. Dig it. Awwww can you dig it. Sorry distracted by a great song.But people like the evil Robertson exploit the good for the evil, not just bad...evil. Many a good person died early because of him.

    I'd imagen in Africa, the only good ministry or religion would be the ones that send the greatest and largest CARE PACKAGES ;)

    That will soon be the ground. Some credit him for bringing religion in to GOP, now POT, politics. To the extent he deserves credit he should be scorned. He was a religoid of the worst order, blaming natural disasters on everything from homosexuality to the teaching of evolution. christ would have rejected his intolerance.

    I was not a fan, but there are fundamentalist preachers around who are a lot worse than him.

    Jimmy Swaggart comes immediately to mind. After he got caught with hooker, he came on TV crying amd telling his flock about how he had sinned and had to make up for it. Not too long after that, he got caught with a hooker again! Any sap who gives money to that fraud deserves to hoodwinked. I see that clown's name crop up on my cable TV channels.

    My parents were super religious people, but they didn't have much time for evangelists. According to them, those guys came in a soaked up money in the collection plate that could have been used in the local churches during the Depression in the 1930s.

    Never heard of him but since this appears to be a GRAVE DANCING thread it must be someone that the left hates so its probably someone that I would have liked. RIP whoever you are. I'm happy to see you are pissing off lefties even in death. GOOD JOB

    He was taken out of context and demonized about as much as Rush limbaugh. Over the top hatred from the...Godless left.... is a clear sign that he was a good man.

    More importantly, he’s a dead man that I am quite happy never seeing again.

    IN THE JUNGLE, PAT ROBERTSON'S DIAMOND MINING FAILED; AT HOME, BLAME ABOUNDS
    https://scholar.lib.vt.edu/VA-news/VA-Pilot/issues/1997/vp970126/01260052.htm
    Just search Pat Robertson Zaire and you'll get thousands of links to pick from, none of them in his favor, well, maybe there's one from .patrobertson.com that I didn't catch.
    In his favor, he did this with three fine christian brutal dictators who all got deposed shortly thereafter his teams arriving or just before. Maybe God was giving him a hint?

    Since the left is godless, how many gods does the right worship?

    I of course can't judge how someone is going to be judged after they die.

    I wouldn't say he was full-out "evil" (I mean he certainly wasn't a Joel Osteen) but there were several things about him, what he talked about and how he ran his show, that did not feel like very good Christian things.

    I can't believe there were so many conservatives that just thought he was wonderful and that nothing he did was the slightest bit wrong or off.

    I do expect he'll have some serious answering for to do when he stands before the pearly gates, but that's true of many people.

    "So it is that everyone who is now last will be first, and everyone who is first will be last."
