Televangelist Pat Robertson advised a mother on Monday that she could cure her son’s stomach pains by finding someone to cast out demons that were possibly caused by an ancestor who practiced witchcraft.

In an email, a viewer named Dianne told the TV preacher that her son had “painful shock-waves thru his body” that originated in his stomach while she was praying for him and calling on “the name of JESUS.”

“My son said it felt like something hit him very hard in the stomach,” the mother wrote. “I know this is not of God. He is a Christian. Can Christians be attacked by demons?”


Instead of recommending that the mother seek medical attention, Robertson said that the boy could be “oppressed or possessed by demons.”

“You need to get somebody with you who understands the spiritual dimension and doing spiritual warfare,” he continued. “If I were you, I would look back in your family. What in your family — do you have anybody involved in the occult, somebody in witchcraft or tarot cards or psychic things?”

1. Pat needs rest.

Maybe he and John McCain could take an extended vacation together to give us all some relief.

I feel sorry for the boy. Get him to a doctor. Sheesh!

[Warpy]

5. Yes, and a lot of Vitamin H

The more Haldol, the more his own demons might be slain.

It's obvious that grifter has gone completely senile.

2. I think that if the mother looks long enough, the answer will be Pat Robertson.

[msanthrope]

3. Somebody better get him evaluated. nt

[geardaddy]

4. And the mother, too.

6. Attention Pat Robertson: you are not a doctor by any stretch of the imagination.

Stop giving medical advice. You clearly know nothing.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

9. All that botox in his forehead must be eating his brain out

[alp227]

10. Why not just play this song?

[Initech]

12. That's probably the only acceptable insurance plan covered by Hobby Lobby.

[MohRokTah]

21. He seems to be getting crazier these days. eom

[riqster]

13. So it wasn't the whisky, gin, or pair of twelve-packs I drank.

It was mah greht granddaddy the warlock that gave the morning-after bellyache!

HEEEEEAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Drive out those demons with more whisky!

[bluesbassman]

16. That's "sins of the father" bullshit.

Either practice the Old Testament laws 100%, or quit cherry picking what suits your narrative.

[geardaddy]

17. Exactament, BBM.

They cherry pick everything to suit their needs.

[geardaddy]

20. Bingo.

[Rex]

22. Pat is part of the problem.

He helps promote ignorance on a dangerous level. Which helps created fundamentalist terrorists like these two;

[geardaddy]

24. Yes. n/t

[Zorra]

23. Some people, most commonly RW christians like Pat, will say and/or do anything to

con money out their naive, gullible victims - ignorant people who are grasping for certainty in an uncertain world.

[geardaddy]

25. They worship at the altar of the All Might Dollar. n/t

[Louisiana1976]

28. Exactly. Their God is Mammon.

26. Can Christians not get stomach viruses?

I hope it's not his appendix, it could burst while she's working on the family tree.

[samsingh]

27. he's getting stupider by the second

[lpbk2713]

29. His show really belongs on Comedy Central.

I think he'd get a bigger audience there.

[geardaddy]

30. You bet he would!

[packman]

31. Now I wonder

if we'll read in the next few days that that mother killed her child because of her fear of the demons in him. Will -or could-Pat be held accountable?

Pat's advice to look at her family to see if anyone is doing or was doing the witchcraft thing. I can just see the caller wondering about crazy Aunt Irma with all her cats.

[CTyankee]

32. Pat Robertson has a bachelor's degree from YALE!

SMH on that factoid...

[geardaddy]

33. Yeah, so does Shrub

[Beach Rat]

34. I believe he's suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors

probably caused by a small dwarf living in his stomach. Hey, who's the barber around here?

35. You beat me to it!

"You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter's was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach."

[yurbud]

37. Goddammit! You beat me to it.

[yurbud]

39. the ending still fits the GOP today

[Beach Rat]

40. Naaaah!

[yurbud]

36. that's why you should never eat your witch ancestors on an empty stomach

[Quantess]

38. Money needed. Of course.

Pay up to get God to notice you, is the standard ploy.

[Spirochete]

41. Now he's just fucking with everybody
