How is it okay to tell people to take out other people's property and "break it," or "destroy it" any more than it's okay to tell your followers to go stone the adulterers?

Talk bad about religion, here is YOUR chance to show us YOU are not like this asshole. Get your church involved, and get this POS off the air. Instead of the church bashing gays, bash this son of a bitch. He is the crazy that makes the rest of you look so bad. And not ONE church is doing anything to rid us of him. He's been spewing shit for over 30 years now. Times a wastin.

If breaking a buddha statue is a way of dealing with it, because of it differs with you, by all means destroy it. It will not change anything, in fact it will make most people determine to defended it. Also this good christian should be arrested for destroying property that would not be theirs. It could even be considered a Hate Crime. Now that is a big problem. of course good old Pat should be charged for inciting violence. Go ahead break it.

Proof: he also came out recently for legalizing the Evil Weed, and you could
hear the jaws dropping in the background in studio.. which is probably the
only SANE thing he's uttered in his life ...

Here, he's signing on to Black Bloc tactics of property destruction being
justified by "being on the right side".

I honestly did not belief the header, so clicked on this to assure myself that
Pat REALLY didn't say that did he. but he did.

incapable of comprehending it, incapable of respecting our freedoms. Roberston is a terrorist and needs to be arrested today and tried for having acvocated such destruction of property and for having made threats against our multi-cultural freedoms. I know he's old and senile, and hateful, and paranoid. But giving this man a podium on television is tantamount to giving the Taliban one.

A just God cannot be a sectarian bigot. If Heaven is a place where a just God rewards righteous people, Gandhi is there. Pat Robertson says otherwise.

That is why I am not a Christian.

Other reasons include the Spanish Inquistion, the lynching of Hypatia, the burning of books and the scholars who wrote them, the Crusades, the Thirty Years War, countless pogroms, Biblical inspired homophobia, misogyny and racism . . . .

The current living Buddha is the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet who has spent his entire life teaching tolerance, acceptance, and Peace toward others. To this day he has taught the path to enlightenment through the Four Noble Truths helping others to understand the true nature of all things. He is a happy monk with a contagious smile & laugh who really "lives" what he teaches. To know him is to love him. I really doubt you would find him desecrating any Christian crucifixes. As a matter of fact, he only teaches acceptance and humility toward the people of other religious traditions. He is revered by many all around the world as a peaceful and respectful man.
