RE: update. Sheer, astounding, jaw-dropping stupidity! The man runs a network and broadcasts a daily show, but doesn’t know about or understand the capabilities of videotape?

Thank God Pat didn’t win the race to be president of USA. He would have made Hittler look like a saint! Georgie boy with all his killing and raping would also look holy.

Carl, sadly manly Biblical passages explicitly condone slavery.

Leviticus 25:44 states “as for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations around you.”

Leviticus 19:20 instructs that no man should ever be put to death for having sex with his female slave, because he has the right to do that.

Exodus 21:7 states that it’s okay to sell your daughter as a slave.

and worst of all there’s Exodus 21:20 “when a man strikes his slave, male or female with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished, but if the slave survives a day or two he is not to be punished; for the slave is his money.”

This was the Bible passage Pre-Civil war slave owners followed when whipping their African slaves to death.

Indeed, Jesus was quite popular for all those teachings that support preemptory war, imperial occupation, unregulated capitalism, and bitter partisanship.

It’s all spelled out in the Beatitudes and the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It’s encouraging that Pat Robertson and his followers study their bible so much.
