Pat Robertson Tells Mother Of Deceased 3 Year Old Her Kid Could Have Been Hitler

When Pat Robertson can still surprise you with insanely horrible things that come out of his mouth, at least that’s some evidence that you’re not totally jaded yet. There is still a little scintilla of innocence left inside of your dark, cavernous soul that still finds the energy to say, “Wait, what?” I’ll let the latest video of Pat Robertson mumbling and drooling some nonsense out of his mouth be that piece of evidence.

A friend of a woman mourning the loss of her three-year-old wrote in to The 700 Club asking what to tell her friend when asked how a good God would let some ill children live but let her child die. In his infinite wisdom, Robertson said that God can see the big picture of life and probably killed her child before he or she could become Adolf Hitler.

Don’t believe me? Don’t think Robertson himself would have the gall to say such a thing to a woman grieving her three-year-old? Here’s the full quote:

As far as God’s concerned, He knows the end from the beginning and He sees a little baby and that little baby could grow up to be Adolf Hitler, he could grow up to be Joseph Stalin, he could grow up to be some serial killer, or he could grow up to die of a hideous disease. God sees all of that, and for that life to be terminated while he’s a baby, he’s going to be with God forever in Heaven so it isn’t a bad thing.

Only Pat Robertson could take a grieving mother's question about life and death and turn it into a Nazi reference.

and why does anyone with a functioning brain call to ask him ANYTHING? Pat Robertson is the poster boy for religious crazy. Just when you think he can't say anything more insane, he says something worse.

because lots of Christians agree with the things he says. He rakes in tons of money being on TV. If all of those Christians stopped supporting him, he would go away.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending that asshole in the slightest. However considering that he owns the Christian Broadcasting Network that airs his bile and garbage, it will be impossible to get rid of him.

However, his boss, the almighty God that he worships, can cancel his show when he sees fit to do so.

Filling people full of lies and misleading people on faith and religion just to make millions of dollars to put in your pocket seems pretty evil to me.

Maybe his interpretation of Christianity is the correct one. I don't think anyone can say for sure. It's clear that lots of Christians agree with Pat, since so many of them keep sending him money.

Anyway, even if God considers Pat to be thoroughly evil, God lets plenty of evil people get very rich and live long, healthy lives. Pat is hardly unique in that.

If He's so all-seeing, He must have known what that baby would someday grow up to do.
