RE: Pat Robertson finally leaving tv
Fun Fact: He probably wouldn't have lasted this long if not for the fact that ABC Family/Freeform was contractually obligated to give him a platform as part of the terms of sale. And it apparently couldn't be shunted to a timeslot where nobody could watch it. It had to be at a time where people would actually watch it. If the owners sold the network to another company, the new owners were not allowed to change things. And, alas, his son Gordon is replacing him, so the only thing changing is a younger face who, while I'm not familiar with him, doesn't seem to be much better. And I suspect that the reason I'm not certain of that is nobody seems to give a shit. Honestly, usually Rationalwiki's a good source for some particularly batshit takes from far-right figures, but all they have is snark about nepotism and some sermon he gave on the show against selectively breeding weed for a higher THC content.

Maybe he gets replaced by one of those normal professional Christians that are supposedly a majority and yet can't find their way to the airwaves.
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"

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

Good. That asshole has spent his life vilifying innocent people, from Katrina victims to the Japanese Tsunami victims and everyone he doesn't like in between.

Yeah, I expect it to be more of the same. It's just that Pat is getting too old to do the show.

Apart from men in the porn industry, which male celebrity would you guess has the largest penis (and don’t act like you haven’t thought about it)?
