“God gave you and me as human beings authority, he gave us dominion over everything on this Earth,” the TV preacher explained on Monday’s 700 Club. “Over all the animals, all the snakes, all the birds, all the plants, all the vegetables.”
“Cocaine is the product of a vegetable, alcohol is the product of a vegetable, marijuana is a vegetable,” he continued. “And yet, people are enslaved to vegetables. And you were made in the image of God. God made you in his image to reign and rule with him. He gave you incredible authority.”
“Why would you become a slave to a vegetable? Why? Why would you do it.?
Robertson said that he had “seen a lot of stuff” in his lifetime so he understood that people had a lot of problems, “but God Almighty can deliver you from the bondage of your addiction.”
“Your slavery to vegetables, he can set you free,” he insisted.
As Raw Story points out cannabis is a herb, however his argument broke down essentially the minute he thought of it.
Speaking just for myself I would like Pat Robertson to know that even without God I am certainly NOT a slave to any vegetable.
I'm a slave to bacon.
OT - Please expose what Gov. Scott Walker is doing to Wisconsin.

And yet the voters apparently want him. Like it or not, they are getting what they signed up for.
DeleteLikely stolen elections due to election theft. Just like we all got Booshed in 2000.

Anybody who believes what Pat Robertson says is a slave to a vegetable, or at least the dupe of one.
ReplyDeleteUh huh. HIM!
DeleteSo, what are your feelings of the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-used-only-personal-email-account-at-state-department/
Oh, puleeze!! Remember $carah's private emails? Whatever became of that "scandal"? This is another scandal like the IRS, Benghazzi, and others. As Trig would say BULLSHIT.
DeleteDidn't like it when Sarah didn't. Don't like it that Hillary did it.
DeleteWhat were they trying to hide?
If you note in the NYT article, Pres Obama uses government email exclusively. People (and by people, I mean right-wingers) don't give him enough credit for the ethical man that he is.
John Kerry is the FIRST SEC of State that has ever exlusively used government email.

As with another "conservative, religious" public figure, we are watching the slow, painful separation of cheese from cracker.
ReplyDeletePriceless!
DeleteMy master is sugar...wait, if that vegetable? I think Patrick is a slave to Satan myself. Maybe he should look after his own addictions and prejudices before judging everyone else? I think I heard that somewhere.
ReplyDeletecake is a vegetable isn't it -- i have been wanting some cake lately.
ReplyDeletenot just any cake mind you, but the home made kind that is really moist and kinda heavy and when you take your first bite - you get this big smile on your face and say with a full mouth -- this is fabulous.
yes cake must certainly be a vegetable. bad bad vegetable to make me want you so.
and of course - bacon. i mean seriously, dude.
I'm an omnivore: bacon AND wine for me.
ReplyDeleteLOL, Gryphen! Potato chips are my master!
ReplyDeleteHelp me! Help me! I'm a prisoner of broccoli.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie title, 5:41!
DeleteHey Pat, I think money is a vegetable. Let's talk about your vegetable addiction.
ReplyDeleteFLOTUS......growing vegetables behind the White House......A Satanic plot to be sure......
ReplyDeleteThere you go. I KNEW it! We just needed Pat to show us the way
DeleteSheesh
Taking lessons from Clint Eastwood talking to a chair. He talks to vegetables? Idiot!!
ReplyDeleteWho watches the idiot?
Other idiots.
DeletePat Robertson has a compelling need for other people's money.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the Virginia state vegetable is? Marion Gordon (Pat) Robertson.
ReplyDeleteRobertson talking about vegetables - hey - takes one to know one, eh?
ReplyDeleteBut will God save me from my addiction to casaba melons?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I am powerless over watermelon. I don't care if Christ appears in front of me--I'm still not going to say no.
DeleteI'm the worst. Black licorice for me!!! (To reflect my black, black heart, of course.)
ReplyDeleteTherefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2Cor 4:1-2
ReplyDeleteNow that is a command for christians. It troubles many that men like Robertson, and even the other Robertson, stand up and make fools of the gospel. While it's ok that he teaches that drugs can ruin a life, and that there is divine help to break free, he plays games with the narrative and makes light of the whole issue with stupid analogies. People and their money with nothing better to do, except sit in front of a camera all day in love with their own voices.
And G. I'll put up a prayer for your and my addiction to bacon (wink wink).
Alzheimers is a cruel mistress, Pat. Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's what the idiot from Texas meant when he said "asparagus "!!
ReplyDeleteBesides the silliness, which I am enjoying, I hate the whole God gave man dominion over all animals part.
ReplyDeleteHow do you know God gave man dominion? I think that is wrong. I think God wanted us to care for and co-exist with them. These assholes make me sick with all of their assumptions.
And Pat has truly lost it now- I think his mind has turned to mush- or is that mashed potatoes?
My mother was very big on the "I was given dominion," stuff. My kids took to calling her house "The house of dominion."
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen the look on another PTA mother's face when my 11-year-old referred to his grandmother's house that way....
One thing for certain is that Robertson knows very little about botany, but does that really surprise anyone. I also wonder if Robertson might be getting a little senile.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about that "made in the image of god" thing ... so where does god use the toilet? Where does it go? What brand of toilet paper does god use? Doesn't god also need fiber?
ReplyDeleteI, for one, welcome our new vegetable overlords!
ReplyDelete>>> Tom, in FL
“Your slavery to vegetables, he can set you free
ReplyDelete-------------------
Now kids that don't want to eat their veggies can tell mom and dad, god set me free, I'm no slave to vegetables.
I admit as a vegan I am a slave to vegetables. It could be worse Pat I could be a slave to a book of fiction.
