Pat Robertson: Single Mother Is ‘Tempting God’ By Not Getting Married

[big_dog]

Televangelist Pat Robertson warned a single mother this week that she was “tempting God” by refusing to get married to the father of her child. During the Tuesday edition of The 700 Club, a viewer named Mark explained in an email why he was trying to force his daughter into her third marriage.

“My daughter has been living with a man for 3 years and has a baby with him,” Mark wrote. “She has told her kids that they are married but she won’t marry him because she has had 2 husbands already.” Robertson agreed with the father, adding that “this girl is playing games.”

“I don’t know what kind of bringing up she had, but she didn’t have a very good one,” he opined. “A couple of marriages already? She is obviously undisciplined, rebellious, she can’t hold a stable relationship. And now she won’t enter into one even though she’s got a child by this man.” “Sooner or later, God’s going to say, ‘That’s all she wrote, baby.’ And it’s going to be tough.”

“She’s tempting God,” Robertson continued. “I mean, man. She is walking on the edge. You think [tightrope daredevil Nik] Wallenda was taking a chance? She’s really on a tightrope.” Robertson advised praying for the woman. “I’d warn her because she’s asking for it,” the TV preacher said. “It’s going to be really tough. It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission — that’s a big joke. Not when you’re dealing with the Lord.”

1. Let Pat Robertson marry him if he thinks he's such a bargain. It's legal now, Pat.

Yeah, it's all our fault when males bugger off and leave us alone and pregnant.

My biggest curse for all religious patriarchs is that their next hundred incarnations be as women.

2. Is there some reason we need to keep hearing or reading about this asshole?

He's been a confirmed religious snake oil medicine show idiot for years on DU. IMO he may even be a closet pedophile.

6. Tempting god to do what?

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. Why, send her to an eternity of torment, that's what.

Don't you know anything?


The God of Abraham and Isaac is big on torturing for all eternity those who don't share the same values as Pat Robertson

9. It's the same old story

Leda and the swan; Europa and the bull.

7. And what's God gonna do, Pat?

He won't intervene in any of the devastation going on around the world since forever, but he'll take a personal interest in punishing this one girl? Yeah, I believe it....

10. So he wants her to put a ring on it. A diamond ring.

Makes sense. He's got to get his riches now because he'll be dead soon.

11. The chief cause of divorce is marriage.

And the divorce lawyers profit.

Just because you're married doesn't mean you have a relationship, or a good relationship. What an idiot. Christians love to fetishize a piece of paper. They ascribe magical powers to a marriage certificate issued by the state.

Or what I call a "state-issued screwing license".

A piece of paper won't make anyone love you or respect you. They can't see that.

12. "he was trying to force his daughter into her third marriage"

Under what system does this father mistakenly believe he lives under?

Women who were raised under the switch of religious psycho nut-jobs like this frequently do have relationship issues in their early lives because the choices they make are a product of the head games they've been subjected to from birth. Good for this woman for standing up and making choices now based on her own free will.
