VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster who turned a tiny Virginia station into the global Christian Broadcasting Network, tried a run for president and helped make religion central to Republican Party politics in America through his Christian Coalition, has died. He was 93.

Robertson’s death Thursday was announced by his broadcasting network. No cause was given.

Robertson’s enterprises also included Regent University, an evangelical Christian school in Virginia Beach; the American Center for Law and Justice, which defends the First Amendment rights of religious people; and Operation Blessing, an international humanitarian organization.

For more than a half-century, Robertson was a familiar presence in American living rooms, known for his “700 Club” television show, and in later years, his televised pronouncements of God’s judgment, blaming natural disasters on everything from homosexuality to the teaching of evolution...

3. CBN promotes the same crap as faux news

I've asked quite a number of people over the years "did you hear about that on faux news?" (In response to crap they were spewing)
And while many acknowledge that they watch faux, quite a few also mention CBN.
Christian broadcasting network sowing seeds of christofascism.

4. Pure evil incarnate

This monester grifted hundreds of thousands or millions of people out of money they could ill afford to give to him so he could live like a king his entire life. Probably died on a golden throne.

5. Good riddance

He did a lot of harm on the African continent as well.

15. Amen. The man was pure evil.

I'm so glad we're rid of that trash.

6. Don't believe in hell (or heaven)

But if anyone deserves to spend time in hell this is the guy.

7. My favorite Pat Robertson moment

Watching him in India making fun of primitive religions using ritualistic bathing to cleanse a person of sins.

Holy fuck Pat, you just described baptism.

Pat was an evil fuck that faked religious interests which he had little of in order to make a shit ton of cash. His kind led the way to bringing people like Trump to power. All Pat wanted in life was money and he didn't care whose life he made worse to get it.

He won't be missed.

11. I've never seen an armored car (think Brinks) in a funeral procession

but I wouldn’t put it past this guy to try taking it with him.

20. No way his family wouldn't fill the car with bricks

And keep the loot for themselves.

18. 10 years ago this might have been a big story. The world has totally moved past him.

No one cares. His passing will hardly be noticed or commented upon beyond initial pro forma reactions. So many more important things happening.
