Robertson Tells Woman Who Can't Pay Mortgage She Must Keep Tithing In Order To Receive God's Blessin
Given Pat Robertson's record of offering questionable advice to viewers seeking his counsel, it is a wonder that people keep writing in and seeking his help with their problems and questions.

But they do ... just today, a woman wrote in telling Robertson that her family is struggling financially and can't pay their mortgage or bills and wondering why God was won't answer her prayers, to which Robertson responded that she was obviously just not managing her money properly and told her that she must continue to tithe in order to receive God's blessing:

1. He and his kind make me sick. What an awful, guilt-inducing thing to say to someone who
is probably already feeling pretty desperate.

Offer her some of your own damn money, Robertson. Surely you have enough to share!

4. Robertson is such a slimy sack of garbage.
There is nothing to which he will not stoop to fleece, cheat and defraud the idiots who watch him.

Eat penguin shit, you ass-spelunker.

6. any more blessings and she'll lose everything
America needs more competition in the God business so she could shop for one that would give he some money - not just take it.

7. I used to get utilties shut off
Because we'd be a few bucks short of paying the bills. Found out after the divorce that the ex was giving 10% (before taxes)to her Mercedes-driving "pastor"...

Religion, what a RACKET!

8. I once read of a family that got permission from a bankruptcy judge to make their tithe
the rules say you can only make expenditures in return for "something of value". So desperate were they to pay god that they convinced the judge that their pledge did, indeed, have spiritual value. :eyes:
