When Pat Robertson’s not successfully partying hurricanes from the coast of Florida, he’s speaking to God and having psychic revelations bestowed to him.

The religious right does not follow ANY of christ's teachings, that I can tell, in regards to their behaviour.

by their fruits you will know them.
