    Pat Robertson is a hypocrite because he has made millions from "faith healing" and then, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, took that money and bought the best secular medicine available. He's scum, and when he finally dies the world will be a tangibly better, safer place.

    Famous for his "healing" sessions in the 700 Club religious show on the Family channel and in syndication, Robertson (diagnosed with prostate cancer) turned to surgery as his method of curing his disease.

    Because Pat knows the horse manure he spreads around to get the gullible to send him money doesn't work and never has, so he is putting his faith in man, not God.

    There is not one recorded "miracle" in science or medicine, only the explained and the unexplained.

    When you can show me a leg or arm that has ever magically grown back, then we can talk.

    You don't understand 'healing' as done by God. There was no outcry because there was nothing to outcry over.

    You, an atheist, however, whine about the healing of God, and then whine about going to a doctor also. Your just going to whine.

    This is a major flaw in Christian logic. They say we need to rely on God for everything. But every time they get sick they run to the hospital asap. There have been a few cases in recent years where the parents of children decided to just have faith, and the children died as a result. And you hear prayers like," well God guide the surgeons hand during surgery," which completely neglects the fact that the surgeon had to actually go to med school and study his/her butt off and also probably has performed other surgeries so has experience. They didn't just have the information implanted in their minds. And the fact that there is more to discover with regards to medicine, God's absence on giving us that knowledge is noticeably defective. And there is the huge problem that limbs don't regrow...
