Pat Robertson To ‘Abhorrent’ Moms: ‘Covens’ Use Your Facebook Ultrasounds To Curse ‘Unborn Babies’

[big_dog]

Televangelist Pat Robertson warned this week that women could have their pregnancies cursed by a “coven” of witches if they posted ultrasound photographs on Facebook.In an email to Robertson on Monday’s 700 Club, a viewer explained that her daughter was pregnant.

“Young parents now regularly post fetal ultrasound photos as their Facebook photo,” the woman wrote. “From a spiritual point of view, is there any harm in doing this?” At first, Robertson said that he didn’t think that posting ultrasound photos was harmful, but then he seemed to change his mind.

“There are demons and there are evil people in the world,” he said. “And you post a picture like that, and some cultist gets a hold of it or a coven and they begin muttering curses against an unborn child.”

“I just don’t think this business of posting photos of the most intimate parts of your body on Facebook, I just can’t see it,” the TV preacher added. “To me, it’s abhorrent. But it isn’t necessarily unbiblical. It’s just abhorrent.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/pat-robertson-to-abhorrent-moms-covens-use-your-facebook-ultrasounds-to-curse-unborn-babies/

1. Somebody's gotta go get him evaluated. nt

5. Why? This is fun.

Leslie Jordan explains the difference between the North and the South. he says that in the North, people hide their crazy relatives in an upstairs bedroom. "In the South, we put them on the front porch, so everyone can enjoy them."

2. He is deranged! Blech. n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

3. And anyone listens to Pat why!?

[Tsiyu]

4. No, Pat. You are the only abhorrent thing in that whole exchange

But this idea is intriguing. If I put your picture on my computer screen, and mutter curses against you, will you go away?




What sort of person would call a self-absorbed, greedy fucker like him for advice, anyway?

They'd have to be nuttier than he is. But I suppose there really are some desperate, pathetic people out there.

[eShirl]

6. kinda rises to the level of blood libel, doesn't it?

[gordianot]

7. Like the Westboro Baptist Church?

The religiously crazy knows no bounds.

8. I gotta give him credit.

He never stops trying to outdo himself.

9. Thanks, Pat. Now we have a religious reason to oppose the religious-based anti-choice ulteasound ...

...legislations.

Those damned witches could be anywhere. Even the doc's office.

10. Somebody send this senile weirdo off to a padded room already.

[FSogol]

11. Wish we could fast forward a few years and see what Robertson will sound like when he becomes

even more unhinged? Get your ready!

[bulloney]

12. Pat Robertson is nuttier than squirrel shit.

[sakabatou]

13. Can't believe that people will take this shit for being true.

[hifiguy]

21. You know some will.

And it will get repeated around the fundymentalpatient "churches'. And more morons will then believe it.

This society is doomed if we let lunatics like this run free and appear on television.

[tanyev]

14. Gosh, Pat, next thing you know they'll be focusing all their energies on you.

[LibertyLover]

15. The covens I've been part of

would have used the ultrasounds to offer blessings to both mother and unborn child. Pat Robertson is an idiot.

[silvershadow]

16. He needs a thorough medical exam. Dementia? nt

[Brother Buzz]

17. Untreated syphilis would be my guess

Perhaps we can get Bill Frist to give us a second opinion.

[winter is coming]

18. And yet he's appeared regularly on television. Isn't he afraid of being cursed?

Or does that explain why he's being increasingly nutso?

[NightWatcher]

19. Somewhere in Guyana a death cult is missing it's leader

When can we go ahead and round these people up as being a danger to themselves and others?

[hifiguy]

20. How the fuck is this demented, batshit old fuck

not languishing in an insane asylum?
