Showing Original Post only (View all)Pat Robertson: “Awful-looking” women are ruining marriages [View all]

http://www.salon.com/2013/01/11/pat_robertson_awful_looking_women_are_ruining_marriages/
So, a 17-year-old boy writes in to Maxim magazine complaining that his father never pays any attention to his mother.
Im 17 years old and Ive noticed that there has been a change in my fathers behavior, he wrote. He spends too much time at the computer playing a war game. Ive noticed how alone my mom feels. I just want my father to spend more time with my mom. What should I do? How can I talk to my father? I feel shame for him. Please help.

But then BAM! Robertson draws the woman-hating card, throws it on the flower-decorated glass table in the 700 Clubs studio and suddenly its the mothers fault.
You know, it may be your mom isnt as sweet as you think she is; she may be kind of hard-nosed. And so, you say, its my father, hes not paying attention to mom, but you know mom he trails off and offers a spiteful little chuckle.

No. What is true is that you megachurch hustlers have done irreparable harm to the US and the world.
