I don’t agree with Pat Robertson at all here

But what’s with the holy roller smear?

Robertson ain’t Reverend Ike...

This forum is pro Christian values ..

Read the founders mission statement

Are Popes Holy Rollers?

Rabbis?

My “holy roller” comment was directed at Pat Robertson; it was not directed at all Christians across the board.

I would apply that term to other televangelists of years gone by, such as Jimmy Swaggart and the PTL Club types. I’d also apply that term to members of Christian denominations who consider themselves superior to those of other Christian denominations.

For example, I attended Pepperdine University in Malibu during my freshman year of college. This was MANY years ago....decades, in fact. The denomination of Pepperdine was The Church of Christ, and many of the powers that be on the campus looked down on anyone who was not a member of The Church of Christ or who practiced their Christian faith in a way different than them. I was told “Catholics aren’t Christians,” for instance. I’m sure there are plenty on this board who would agree with this comment, but it is what it is.

65% of the freshman class did not return for their sophomore year when I was there. Most transferred to other colleges.

As for the popes....the current pope seems to be overly concerned with political correctness and liberalism; I’d rather he stick to the tenets of Catholic doctrine. I say many of the popes of the past were “holy rollers,” and by that I mean “holier than thou.”

Rabbis? I don’t know any, but many of the jews I’ve known over the years have been liberals first and jews second. Not all, but many.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers.
