Pat Robertson has dementia.

No other explanation for his wacky off-the-deep-end pronouncements.

Robertson: Secret Demonic Objects In Your House Could Give You Headaches

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 1:30 pm

Earlier this year, Pat Robertson told 700 Club viewers that it wasn’t a bad idea to pray over clothes, and even rings, just in case they have a demon attached to them. When a viewer asked him today how she could manage to pray over everything in her house every day, Robertson said not to worry too much… unless God is telling you that there are in fact demons in your house. “What is important is: were these objects actually used in some kind of Satanic ritual? Some occult practice? If that’s the case, then there might be some demonic force that attaches to that which was used in pagan worship,” Robertson said. “In terms of going around and saying this is cursed and that’s cursed, you can drive yourself crazy doing that.” Co-host Wendy Griffith claimed that she knew of cases where God told a preacher to remove certain paintings from his house “because they have something attached to them,” and Robertson agreed: “I’ve heard of people who had headaches, they get something from overseas and it looks so beautiful yet it’s actually a deity, a demonic force has attached itself to that.”

Pat Robertson, Who Admits He Doesn't Know What Transgender Means, Compares Transgender People To His Castrated Horse

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 12:45 pm

Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson reacted to a David Brody report on a new California law protecting transgender students by blasting the law as “insane.” “I may be an old fuddy-duddy, what is transgender?” Robertson asked co-host Wendy Griffith. Despite Robertson’s admission that he doesn’t know what it means to be transgender, that didn’t stop him from criticizing the law. Robertson said that while he is “not opposed” to gender reassignment surgery, “but this whole business about transgenders, you’re saying they’ve got boy parts but they want to go to the girls’ restroom, that’s absurd.”

I don't care how evil Pat is, that's not a fate I'd wish on him or anyone, for that matter.

5. If Gowod already knows where the demons are, then why is it necessary to pray?

Does that mean that Robertson's Gowod just puts the demons there to force us to pray to him? That seems pretty twisted. It is hard to imagine that any god would be so mean-spirited -- the equivalent of pulling the legs off of bugs.
