Pat Robertson has something in common with JWs
Wow. This could be right out of an elder’s mouth, straight off the pages of the Watchtower Magazine. See my earlier post on the tract “The End of False Religion is Near.”
Robertson Says All Other Religions Worship “Demonic Powers”
Why [do] evangelical Christians tell non-Christians that Jesus (God) is the only way to Heaven? Those who are Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. already know and have a relationship with God. Why is this? It seems disrespectful.
Robertson replied that it is not all disrespectful because all other religions really just worship “demonic powers.”
No. They don’t have a relationship. There is the god of the Bible, who is Jehovah. When you see L-O-R-D in caps, that is the name. It’s not Allah, it’s not Brahma, it’s not Shiva, it’s not Vishnu, it’s not Buddha. It is Jehovah God. They don’t have a relationship with him. He is the God of all Gods.
These others are mostly demonic powers. Sure they’re demons.
There are many demons in the world.

All Jesusistanis have that in common. They share that particular trait with fundies of any stripe-there isn’t a stone’s throw worth of difference in the base philosophies of Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, James Dobson, and Osama bin Laden. The need to fleece flocks and not run afoul of the law is the delimiter between a Jesusistani and a Caliphate advocate.
Yep. Par for the course.
Wish I could say I’m surprised, but I’m not. Pat Robertson simply gives voice to what millions of conservative Christians believe. He gets heard because he has a satellite and a sweet deal with cable TV that makes sure he gets heard.
