Pat Robertson Dishes Luv Advice To The Ladies
A completely reasonable and sane-sounding Christian woman named Roni wrote to Pat Robertson this week with a question about how to find middle ground with her atheist fiance, and Pat Robertson delivers the bad news while somehow managing to imply that she's also a slut:
That's a dealbreaker, ladies! What did "Roni" expect? (There is no Roni.) This is basically Pat Robertson's version of Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers's "Really? segment on Weekend Update. At the end he goes "What? Alriiight" like "Can we have a fucking real question, here?" (And also a little like "What were we talking about? I have dementia.")

Pat Robertson, always there to give non-answers. "I hate to tell you this, even though my inaccurate, brick-wall version of Christianity has made my career what it is today. So I don't hate to tell you this. At all. Make checks payable to..."

Um, no but yes. You have to break up with him because he's been your fiance for FOUR YEARS. If he liked it, he would have put a ring on it.

WRONG! This is what I was told as a young, sincere Christian when marrying my Unitarian fiancee. The pastor of my church (Denomination: Covenant) REFUSED TO MARRY US because he wasn't a Christian. (They are allowed to do that--same-sex marriage opponents take note.)
We DID marry anyhow, and attended two different churches for years--Assembly of God and Unitarian--alternating every week.
THIS PROCESS BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER, and tested both our beliefs, and opened up a wonderful, ongoing dialogue that STRENGTHENED BOTH OF OUR FAITHS.
The UU church welcomed our experiment, the AOG church did not. Guess where we fellowship, volunteer and donate now? Guess which church we are bringing up our children in? You guessed it--the one that honors both our faith traditions with respect and dignity--the Unitarian/Universalist church.
We have found a spiritual home and Robertson is simply wrong. (My husband doesn't "serve Satan" -- he just calls God by a different first name than I do. It's all good and holy.)

Hasn't Pat Robertson lost anything resembling credibility about 10 stupid comments ago?

Why on earth would Robertson imagine that an atheist "serves the devil?" The whole point of being an atheist is that you don't believe in God, or the Devil, or Unicorns, or the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus. They don't believe in magic, period. Why is this so difficult to understand?
I swear, I feel like I spent half of my teenage years patiently explaining to Christians that no, I wasn't a Satanist. That would require a belief in the supernatural, which I don't have. Just because I don't worship your invisible sky man, please don't assume I must therefore worship a red guy with pointy horns and a goatee.

I agree with Pat---she should dump him. Because if you guys have been engaged for four years and he hasn't married you yet, then YOU ARE NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND.

The bible cautions against being "unequally yoked" with non-believers. True followers of Christ would find that injunction to be enough.

Atheists serve the devil? WTF?

Yes, atheists serve the devil, they just do his work unbidden, blah blah blah. Would be the fundy position on it.

FIrst, I'm an atheist and no lover of Pat. I don't see how he's implying she's a slut. He used the word "intimate". The slut stuff is in the mind of the testy little poster of this video. He's stating the conservative christian line. He's isn't supposed to be a politician. Be patient atheist and skeptic newbies. Eventually, you'll grow up and stop pounding your head against the concrete picking these jokers apart. What else would you expect him to say? Are you surprised?

The funniest part of all is when he states that the atheist is doing the work of the devil. Umm, Pat, atheists don't believe in the devil. They can't do the work of someone that they don't even believe exists.

I'm an atheist in rural OK, which is tough sledding. Having said that, to Robertson, and all the rest of the True Believers, atheists serve the devil because we DON'T serve God. If pushed, Robertson would also say Jews serve the devil as well. This vid is actually really great, because it shows the truth...if you don't do things their way, then you're fucked. There's no middle ground, no logic, no reasoning, just words to obey. And that's the way they like it. It's so much easier that way.

now serving number .... SATAN !!! hahaha....why aren't morons like robertson just laughed of the face of the earth already ? doesn't he know that satan is a christian god ? no wonder he can't support loving gay couples, he can't even deal with straight couples who don't toe his party-line. he can believe any nonsense he likes, but the rest of us have the right.. if not the duty.. to ridicule this nonsense.

I hate to say it, but the Bible is quite clear on this. It was contrary to scripture for you to marry a non-Christian. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"! 2 Corinthians 6:14.
Good churches are not businesses, and those that compromise their teachings in order to up attendance or collection plate offerings are not worth attending. So when you say that you took your family, money, and volunteerism to another church, that's no reason for your original church to feel bad. At best, it's just you being honest about what you believe.

the bible says so many vague, contradictory, insane and plain stupid things, along with a lot of lovely, beautiful things, that any sane person has to pick and choose which elements to accept. So when you say "the bible says" I say to you: read it again. The bible says all kinds of stupid shit, so don't grab the one thing that supports your prejudices and wave it like a banner.

Robertson is a nut sack. And so are all christians. How the heck a good atheist could get involved with a moron is the real surprise. Drop your bibles and step away from the Religion.

Yeah, i don't see how an atheist and a christian could be together. Traditionally, and maybe stereotypically, atheists are passionately against religion - otherwise they'd be agnostic? But then again, anyone that isn't a devout christian seems to be labelled as an atheist which has taken on the same meaning as DEVILWHORE.
I have a friend thats christian, i'm not. I only tolerate her because she doesnt talk about it much apart from begging me a couple of times to go to her church because she doesnt want me to go to hell, which is a larger sign of compassion than most of my atheist friends - they've been entirely indifferent to my afterlife destination.
