Nope, he was replaced by his son Gordon, whose views don’t seem to be much different from his dad’s.

That's bad for atheists because they will look bad by commenting on his statements as again picking on the "wrong Christians whom everyone already hates."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

To this day I remember Pat Rubbernuts and Jerry Fartwell sitting next to each other after hurricane Katrina blaming it on liberals and pro choice and gays.

You brought that up elsewhere...simply amazing that you can recall something from 16 whole years ago but can't remember your Twitter password.

You're actually surprised that he can't remember the useful stuff?

Yes, because the human brain isn't complex. I didn't know it was my job to be 100% perfect and never have any flaws.

My Twitter password didn't make international news.

He seems to hold on to the classical view that if there is trouble, if there is a weather problem, if there is a disease spreading, then it is the gods that are punishing people.

I do remember him saying something about Colorado, I think. In 2005, the judge ruled that intelligent design is creationism and should be booted out of class. He said something like “Watch out. God is angry at you. He will destroy you. You have no hope.”
My memory might be faulty. I saw the video on youtube a few years ago.

Overall, he seemed to be a disgusting character who puts his religion above everything and lowers people who do not agree with his views.

I’m not from the USA but I have noticed that there is a religious extreme there. A good portion wants to have a theocracy. A minor portion, such as the Westboro Baptist church and this Pat (he is also of the southern baptist flavor) desire to kill homosexuals.
They tend to dehumanise the people they don’t like.
I have seen videos of ISIS tying up a person for being a homosexual to a chair and pushing him off a building. 2-3 y ago?
In the case of the Rwanda genocide of 1994, some people from the Hutu side started to use religion to spread hate. They were claiming that the Tutsi’s were working for satan, were demons, etc. Some of them were using the radio to spread such hate. When you dehumanize another group, it makes it easier to convince your soldiers to hate them and kill them.
There is the case of the 1890 to 1918 period armenian genocide. This was a ethnocleasing-religious cleansing attempt. Apparently, at some point, turks started to spread the message that christians had no soul. I don’t know whether that was believed or not.

I haven’t understood how is it that the USA allows such hate speech to be spread.
How often does Pat Robertson talk against LGBT?

I know that for the Westboro baptist church, it was their everyday thing to badmouth gays and jews.

If Kurt Anderson’s Fantasyland is any indication, it’s probably because a lot of people took the anti-establishment nature of the 1960s counterculture and the fact that the Information Age gives any poor bugger a platform and got the worst possible lessons from them.

I am all for women or men dressing the way they want and wearing the makeup they want. But I think even Ru Paul would look at Tammy Faye and say, "No, just ...... NO!"

There was a 1980s si fi B movie called "Killer Clowns From Outer Space", much in the lines of campy movies like Sharknado and Attack Of The Killer Tomatos". Tammy could have bagged the lead in any of those.

I forget which family member ditched Fred, but isn't there now a open atheist who ditch them?
