Apparently Pat Robertson is broadcasted on something called ABC Family. But why do they refer to religious events/programming/literature as "family"? You have these people that get all upset that there are bars or strip clubs next to schools but few people question where we put churches. Most people consider churches to be relatively harmless. I disagree. Some religious groups claiming to be Christian are little more than loony cults with Bibles and crosses. It seems we're willing to give anyone a pass as long as they cloak themselves in the name of Christianity. This, even though some of these new mega-churches seem like nothing more than religious based business models. Any opportunist can bank on the immunity offered by calling themselves Christian. There's no quality control. I could just as easily call myself a Christian blog, slap a few Bible quotes at the top of the page and other Christians would feel like they have to give me deference. I consider people like Pat Robertson to be very dangerous. He promotes intolerance and hatred. Why is that called "Family"? Why would parents want to expose their kids to this eye-squinching maniac? |
