    Pat Robertson jokes about wife beating on 700 Club: "Move to Saudi Arabia". Is he a man of God of just another nut?

    Pat Robertson is a pastor, a televangelist, a teacher of the Bible.  Pat Robertson is also, in my opinion, dead wrong in a number of statements that he has made over the years.  To joke about and condone "beating" due to "her lack of submission", makes him a fool.  As a Christian myself, I heard a similar statement from the pulpit (in my FORMER church).  Most Christians (though sadly not all) will vehemently disagree with him!

    Wife beating is nothing to joke about. It's too real....

    I agree, that is not a subject to be joked about.

    I dont think anyone would agree with his statement. I dont watch him.

    I don't watch him either Ann, but you should visit my FORMER church and listen to the subject of "submission" and see it in action. Sadly, it IS still accepted. When women tell some (not all) pastors that their husbands are abusive, the response can be "Tsk, tsk...I'll pray for him...and for you". Yes, still in 2012! (Pathetic)

    Ducky, I have never been to a church, where this was still an issue.
    As far as I am concerned, women are equal to men. This has been instilled in me by example of my family and the community we lived in.
    I have no tolerance for a church, or men, who think differently.

    Agreed Ann. You are blessed and fortunate.

    God has many children, all of us in fact. Some children hear the voice of God…and instantly their minds snap shut like a clam that was poked and for the rest of their lives they go about with the interpretation of what they think they saw or heard expressed as their belief and/or denial. Righteous indignation fills their mind for all who stray from the path of their conviction. I am convinced our Native American Faiths wherein Mescaline and other such hallucinogenic gifts from the Gods is a wonderful cure for fools. Just my opinion and LSD…a proper way to learn that you are better off with your feet on the ground.     

    I do not accept this wife beating or anyone for the sake of religion belief, absolutely wrong!!!
