Pat Robertson: Just beat your children until they believe in Jesus.

In another example demonstrating that Pat Robertson believes in persecuting non-Christians and indoctrinating children, the televangelist openly suggested that parents should beat their kids until they respect Christian beliefs.

During yet another shameful episode of the 700 Club, which runs on Disney-owned channel ABC Family, Robertson received an email from a woman who claimed that her grandson disrespects their Christian faith when they visit their daughter on Christmas and chose not to visit this past year.

“We declined going to our daughter’s house on Christmas this year because there is always an argument, hard feelings etc.,” viewer Karen wrote.

“One grandchild comes high on marijuana, cursing and challenging our faith. I correct him and have told my daughter to ask him to respect our beliefs, but he keeps it up. Our daughter say she is a Christian but will drink too much and offend her daughter and her husband. Were we wrong to not to attend another Christmas that leaves us upset or someone angry? I have shared my beliefs many times with them and am ridiculed by this grandson and son-in-law.”

Robertson’s immediate solution? Beat the child until he respects Christianity.

Shove Christianity into them until they're sick of the topic, then beat them when they think outside the Bible Box.
Now, that's some Family Values.

Back in the old days, before Disney was on cable, the number of broadcast, satellite, and cable channels was severely limited. (Remember the song: 57 channels and nothin' on...) The 700 club had lots of bandwidth they wouldn't sell, so Disney leases that.

Pat Robertson's father was Absalom Willis Robertson who was chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs from 1959 until 1966. I've no doubt Pat took advantage of his many political connections to stake out his broadcasting empire.

Everything about cable and broadcast television is obsolete now, but god forbid anyone disrupt that business model; too many people have too much money committed to it...

In a just universe Pat Robertson would be just another religious idiot spewing his shit on a Youtube channel.
