Pat Robertson calls Robin Williams a "heathen"

What about those who worship money, like yourself, Pat?

Pat Robertson: Robin Williams Died By Suicide Because 'Heathens' Are Idol Worshipers

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 8/27/2014 12:05 pm Pat Robertson explained today that Robin Williams died by suicide because he didn’t know God and was destined for ruin. “You see these very popular people in the media who commit suicide like Robin Williams recently and you say, what is the deal with him? What happened?” Robertson said on “The 700 Club.” “You see, the god of the heathen are idols and everything that you seek in life can ruin you unless that somebody is God himself.”

Being called a heathen by Pat Robertson is best taken as a compliment - it means you're a decent human being, and that pat feels that you and he have nothign in common - an assertion I would certainly relish.

What an ugly thing to say about Robin Williams.

Pat will do anything to get attention, and it's sad that he's successful in getting that attention by making nasty comments about others.

rather frequently.

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Other_interests

Williams was a member of the Episcopal Church. He described his denomination in a comedy routine as "Catholic Lite—same rituals, half the guilt."

I suspect that the more Pat has noticed a correlation between absurd declarations and donations rolling in, elsewise it makes no sense to continue the stupidity..
