Default CBN is so funny!

Not meant to be humor but I find myself watching this sometimes and I can't keep but laughing at most of the stuff on there.

Everything from god answering prayers and curing someone’s toe fungus to everything that isn’t what we believe must be the devils work!

Just this morning someone sent in a letter asking Pat Robertson what they should tell their child who was learning about reincarnation from a student in school. Pat went on about not knowing where this idea of reincarnation and nirvana came from and he went on about how it’s the devil trying to lead people away from Christianity. Anything that doesn’t agree with him must be the devil! I guess that makes everything pretty easy to explain.

Almost every show they talk about someone that was poor or that was sick or something and then donated to CBN and got better or somehow won the lottery or was given money some how. I find this pretty funny.

Also the parts where they go to “uncivilized�? villages and give them money and help them then convert them all the Christianity from whatever religion they were before. They then use this as an example that Christianity is good and helping people and that their devils religion is the cause for their problems.

Seriously I think Pat Robertson finds this all funny as well while he’s rolling around in his millions of his tax free dollars. That or he is one seriously deluded individual.

It was funny I watched that episode today too

That wasnt my favorite letter though.
The one that gave me the biggest "Huh?? " was the letter from the woman who wondered why everyone in her family had been getting sick lately. Pat's enlightening response was that there was either a curse on her family, or someone in her family was involved with the occult (specifically fortune telling).

HUH??

I also enjoy Pat's weight loss challenge. I dont know why I spend money on a personal trainer... hehe
