Wasn't he also, the televangelist who said that if all his listeners didn't send in X million dollars by such and such a day he would die ( or so the Lord told him)?

Unfortunately, most all of the Pentecostal Christians I know have little or no knowledge of the natural world than the junk science that people like Pat Robertson scramble up and regurgitate for them.

I recently was "told" that AIDS could be caught from an infected person sneezing within a 30 foot radius of where a person (me?) might be standing. Because they blindly believe in the authority of these televangelists they automatically assume those tele-preachers must be very knowledgeable about science and worldly things as well.

I am a Pentecostal Christian and I am amazed at some of the things my friends at church tell me. Explain something in terms they can understand and they think your are a genius of world renown. Of they tell you to go back to reading your bible. Sigh. I have read my bible so much since I accepted the Lord that I usually can back up what I say with scripture. But they will still believe the next goofy thing that Robertson, Falwell or Hinn says.

No. I think that was Oral Roberts. . . . who has said his share of foolish things in his day.

As have everyone else hereon. Would any of us like our foolish statements to be instant news? Could any of us survive that contingency?
