What a Douche!!!!

He has been all over the radio this morning for his advice he gave a lady for asking what she could do to help her forgive and heal from her spouses infidelity.

He basically blames her, media, porn, and everything else in the world, except him. He also says "Men tend to wander". Oh OK so then it's ok?!?!

He also basically said she needed to just get over it.

I hope that poor woman finds us, so we can support her through her pain.

I saw that article and couldn't be bothered to read it. What an ass. It's a shame he has influence and an avenue to spew this type of shit.

I think there is a video of him commenting on the Gen Petraeus situation, basically saying she was an attractive women, he was lonely and far away, and basically what do you expect in a "boys will be boys" kinda fashion.

ASSHAT!

DOUBLE ASSHAT!

I remember hearing years ago on a television program that he was forced to marry his wife when she was seven months pregnant. His family finally convinced him that it didn't look right for a man who was a preacher to have a child out of wedlock. It came out because there was some stirrings of him considering running for political office. He changed his political ambition after that story leaked. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.

Saw the article. He said it's just a man being a man.

So what was my wife's infidelity, Pat? A woman being a woman?

It's all destructive, it's all bad, and there's absolutely no excuse for any of it. Period.

I say flood their website w comments. Let him know what a stupid comment he made and make it clear how devastating infidelity is. Force him to reevaluate his ideas from people who have lived it.

Men tend to wander

Sounds like Pat may have some wayward skeletons in his closet as well.

The saddest part of this is how many people actually listen to this irrelevant POS. I think he makes most of this shit up. Situational ethics at it's best.

I wonder what his Scriptural source is. Everything I know about Scripture prohibits adultery, although polygamy is OK in many parts of Scripture. Just sayin'....

He ran for the Presidency in 1988. He founded Christian Broadcasting Network, and there's a lot of indication that CBM stiffed IBM, Amdahl, and at least one other PCM mainframe manufacturer out of what would be millions today and may have been millions in 1980.

He and his opinions are just...wrong. He's an idiot.

Pat Robertson and Hateful Ignorant Bullshit are not new companions.

Hope the person he said that to is okay. Hearing that kind of shit when you're down and out and needing help is brutal.

Just read the article and came here to post about it:

Sounds like he and Dr. Laura drink the same Koolaid.

Snort.

As he's aged, he's gotten worse.

*Tip-toeing here* - Trust me, his views do not represent the others on his platform.

AJ's MOM

I had the misfortune of running across the same article (fortunately I didn't hear the radio!) and went from zero to enraged/exasperated at warp speed. UGH.

Don't want to run amuck of the politics ban, so I'll say I think he's a big stinking society-damaging hypocrite when he gets his shorts in a bunch over threats to "marriage"; evidently infidelity isn't. Hello-o-o-o? McFly?!

I feel very sorry for anyone who actually views him as a leader. I feel even sorrier for anyone who views him as a leader, has a devastating crisis, and gets that kind of "support".

Sounds like he and Dr. Laura drink the same Koolaid.

A friend posted the video of him saying that on Facebook. I commented on it that it sounds like classic blameshifting and justification and leads me to believe that good ol' Pat is a cheater himself. Way to out yourself, Pat!

Men tend to wander? Hmmmmm, okay. Men wander. So, who are they wandering with? Other men?

Biblically unsound advice.

Even from the "sin nature" argument, then if it's our tendancy to sin, then it should be used to grow closer to God through prayer rather than jumping right into bed with an OW.

There are specific passages...in fact the whole book of Hosea....that would not just prove him wrong but equate adultery with breaking the most important commandment.

I can't believe nobody is calling him on this.

SIsoon- actually, from what I've been reading, even polygamy isn't ok. I'd have to go out and dig up the scripture but it was one of the things that, yes the patriarchs did, but weren't supposed to.

Sad- ITA. I've said many times that infidelity is the biggest threat to the families that these groups claim they want to protect.

People cheat because they are selfish and suck!

I'm sick of hearing how the non-cheater didn't do enough; they are to blame, they should do whatever to fix things...blah blah.

ETA: "Dr." Laura is a big stupid ass too.

Please don't confuse Pat Robertson with another Christian who DOES GET THE BIG PICTURE. I read the book Love Must Be Tough by Dr. James Dobson and I tell you that guy is totally like everyone on this website. He says, the line of respect has been crossed, 180 180 180 the person, stand up to them, do NOT be treated like a whimpering puppy. Show your spouse the strong side of you, do not engage in stupid going no where conversations --- in fact tell them NOTHING. They need to know that you are strong, you are special, and you will NOT tolerate being treated disrespctfully another day. You have character, class, and you did NOTHING to cause the infidelity. NOTHING. It is all on them, and DO NOT tell your WS you are to blame. NEVER. He says the WS is like a drug addicted teenager. Selfish, and on a high. If your child were on drugs would you let them stay in your home, tell them it's your fault, go to a drug dealer for them and buy the goods? NO NO NO. Strong confidence is best.

Dr Dobson believes the only way to wake up a WS is to turn away and show your strength and to only let them back IF and WHEN you see them in counseling with strong remorse, and ending it with the OP.

By the time I read 2 chapters I stopped crying, put on my bitch boots, changed the locks on the doors, told him he was not coming here if I wasn't home or I'd call the police. I told him this was a home free of drama and a safe zone for our children. I told him he had 1 day to decide what to do. (I should have given him 10 seconds).

About a week later he said he was thinking about coming home. I said. NO, not without MC. (Before reading the book I would have been thrilled). I said I do not want a fake marriage. I WANT IT ALL! Well, XWH wouldn't give 6 months of his time for his family and I realized I will not be treated like this.

Sorry about the rant, Dr Dobson also starts out the book saying many Christian counselors get it wrong by telling their clients to "try harder". He rarely sees it work long term if the BS tries to "nice" the spouse back.
