39. Here's some quotes from Pat Robertson from the 700 Club
"They have kept us in submission because they have talked about separation of church and state. There is no such thing in the Constitution. It's a lie of the left, and we're not going to take it anymore." (PatRobertson, The State, Columbia, South Carolina, Nov. 14, 1993.)

"If anyone understood what Hindus really believe, there would be no doubt that they have no business administering government policies." (Pat Robertson)

"The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of non-Christian and atheistic people they canuse it to destroy the very foundation of our society. " (Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, Dec. 30, 1981)

"When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo-Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" (Pat Robertson)

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that sanctifies the separation of church and state." (Pat Robertson)

"The courts are merely a ruse, if you will, for humanist, atheistic educators to beat up on Christians." (Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, Oct. 2,1990)

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." (Federal News Service, Sept. 11, 1992, quoting a Robertson newsletter.)

"Why are so many marriages falling apart? Why is the divorce rate so high? ...Why is there such a tragedy in marriage?...Now the basic answer to the basic
"(Robertson) chastised women legislators who support no-fault divorce laws that he says encourage men to split. 'Any woman who votes for no-fault divorce is like a turkey voting for Thanksgiving,' Robertson said, paraphrasing a conservative commentator." (The State-Record, Columbia, SC,June 28, 1992)
