Robertson: Violence In Bible Different From Quran Because God Commanded It

Funny, that's what Muslim extremists say when they fly planes into buildings - God Commanded It.

More proof that American has it's own Taliban.

On today’s edition of “The 700 Club,” Pat Robertson attempted to explain the difference between passages on war and killing in the Bible and the Quran.

Robertson, who regularly cites Qur’anic verses as proof that Islam is an inherently violent and genocidal religion, said the main difference is that God commanded the mass killings found in the Bible in order to curb the corrupting influences of idol-worshipers, while violent acts in the Quran were ordered by Allah.

“How can you say it’s not like the other? The other is in the name of Allah,” he reasoned.

Do viewers know that this senile old cocksooker is NOT a religious scholar -- he makes this shit up as he goes.

Both religious texts have their made-up mythical "God" ordering all kinds of backwards shit.

Interesting that one of the most violent acts in the Bible was a bunch of secularists and cultists murdering Jesus (an innocent man) by whipping His skin off of His body then nailing Him to a cross and allowing Him to die a slow, torturous death while bleeding every drop of blood. Of course, He did that for you and me and it was meant to be. Perhaps we should thank Him for that sacrifice.

I know cancer patients who've suffered more than what you've just described.

He's a damn crook!


Here's some interesting info that I wasn't aware of.


In 1999, Robertson entered into a joint venture with the Bank of Scotland to provide financial services in the United States. However, the move was met with criticism in the UK due to Robertson's views on homosexuality. Robertson commented that “In Europe, the big word is tolerance. You tolerate everything. Homosexuals are riding high in the media ... And in Scotland, you can't believe how strong the homosexuals are." Shortly afterward, the Bank of Scotland canceled the venture.

Robertson's extensive business interests have earned him a net worth estimated between $200 million and $1 billion.

A fan of Thoroughbred horse racing, Robertson paid $520,000 for a colt he named Mr. Pat. Trained by John Kimmel, Mr. Pat was not a successful runner. He was nominated for, but did not run in, the 2000 Kentucky Derby.

In 1994, in the aftermath of the Rwandan Genocide, Robertson solicited donations for his charity organization Operation Blessing International to provide medical supplies to refugees in neighboring Zaire (present-day Congo), where Robertson had allegedly negotiated a diamond-mining contract with Zairian dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported the incident to the state of Virginia for investigation, rather than delivering relief supplies to refugees, the organization's planes were primarily used to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Zaire.

According to a June 2, 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot, Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor, with whom Robertson negotiated a multi-million dollar contract for gold mining operations in Liberia. In response to Taylor's alleged crimes against humanity, the United States Congresspassed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President George W. Bush of "undermining a Christian, Baptistpresident to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country."

At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade. On February 4, 2010, at his war crimes trial in the Hague, Taylor testified that Robertson was his main political ally in the U.S., and that he had volunteered to make Liberia's case before U.S. administration officials in exchange for concessions to Robertson's Freedom Gold, Ltd., to which Taylor gave a contract to mine gold in southeast Liberia. In 2010, a spokesman for Robertson said that the company's arrangements — in which the Liberian government got a 10 percent equity interest in the company and Liberians could purchase at least 15 percent of the shares after the exploration period — were similar to many American companies doing business in Africa at the time.

Sometimes, listening to tv church, I find myself hoping there really is a Hell...

So, the "secularists and cultists" were just following God's will. How is it their fault then?

"Violence in Bible different because God commanded it"

Is it just me or is that shooting himself in the foot? Violence in Qur'an is from God too. And to dispute that invites debate over if God isn't who's in Qur'an, then who is it? If not God at all, but another deity how do we know that isn't the 'good' one and the Bible's is the 'evil' one? If no God at all, then how do we know the Bible's true but Qur'an isn't?

Another reason why the bible is shit. What kind of god commands to kill? Feral christians making stuff up again.

Judaism, and presumedly Christianity assert God is the only god in existence. So if God in Islam was a real god it must be the God of Abraham. If no god at all had to do with Islam and it's all lies, then how do we know the God in the Bible isn't the same thing, all lies?
