My "WTF?" of the day, Pat Robertson edition..

So exactly WHAT rock tunes (besides Steve Miller Band) actually 'summon demons," Pat?

Wouldn't you love to see Robertson's face watching some of these Japanese girl death metal groups?

Pat Robertson: Beware Satanic Rock Music That 'Summons Demons'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 1/12/2016 12:20 pm

Today on “The 700 Club,” Pat Robertson fielded a question from a teenage viewer who wanted to know if it is a sin to listen to rock music. The televangelist said that while people shouldn’t try to completely avoid mainstream music, they should be wary of listening to songs that may contain violent, Satanic lyrics and beats that could summon demonic beings. “It depends on what rock you’re listening to,” he said. “Some of the stuff is just evil. They used to talk about killing your parents and there were just some other things. There were odes to Satan. You don’t want that stuff coming into your mind. There’s some beat that’s out there that, you know, probably isn’t all that bad, although in one Indian context, they were playing rock music and the person said, ‘Why are you calling on the demons?,’ because that was the kind of music they used to summon demons.”

5. That was wonderful. Ole Pat would stroke out I'm sure. Thanks for posting..n/t

[mountain grammy]

3. IMO nothing he says or thinks is interesting

It's all bullshit.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

4. I have to try really, REALLY hard to have the name Pat Robertson show up in...

...my daily routine. I never actually try. It only happens when I see it on DU.

6. Adulthood begins when you stop looking to people like Pat Robertson for advice

something I hope this teen learned by having their question answered with gibberish.

[gratuitous]

7. Nothing new here

Robertson and his ilk have been scaring the rubes for 60 years with this nonsense. Before rock-n-roll, it was Frankie. Before Frankie it was Valentino. They don't have any new ideas, just re-hashes of the same stuff over and over. It's gone way past laughable to just plain boring.

8. I feel morally obligated to thoroughly corrupt this fourteen-year-old.

He's naive, so he's asking Pat fucking Robertson for advice on music.

I've got better advice, in the form of music:

Dear god, hope you get the letter and…
I pray you can make it better down here
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving in the street
‘Cause they don’t get enough to eat from god
I can’t believe in you

If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me .
Don’t judge or question.
You are broken now ,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

My Gods will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.

Jesus Christ, why don’t you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

#t=23

You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait thats grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the lord, its all you say

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
…
I don’t want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God’s got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Is this Fake wantabe Profit still alive.

If so,must need cash to bribe people in Africa. What a fake.

[Initech]

10. "Odes To Satan" - saw them play the Troubadour last week. They rocked!

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. He's still alive?

I did not know that.

People actually listen to him? I find that even more surprising.
