Christian Dumbths

Buchanan, Pat

"Who are beneficiaries of the Court's protection? Members of various minorities including criminals, atheists, homosexuals, flag burners, illegal immigrants (including terrorists), convicts, and pornographers."

[US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, Address to the Heritage Foundation, January 29, 1996]

"And how can we ever again succeed in educating children to become moral men and women if, inAmerica's public schools, we consciously deny them all religious instruction, and deny them access to that primary source of morality, God's own word. The Bible is the one book from which they are expressly not allowed to be taught."

[US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, "The City and The Crusade", Commencement Address forChristendom College, May 6, 1996]

"In a GQ profile of Pat Buchanan, journalist John Judis asks the presidential candidate his views about teaching creationism in school. 'Look, my view is, I believe God created heaven and earth,' said Buchanan. 'I think this: What ought to be taught as fact is what is known as fact. I don't believe it is demonstrably true that we have descended from apes. I don't believe it. I do not believe all that."

[Leah Garchik, San Francisco Chronicle, 27 November 1995]

"Our culture is superior. Our culture is superior because our religion is Christianity and that is the truth that makes men free."

[US Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, speech to the Christian Coalition, Sept. 1993, as reported in ADL Report, 1994]

"We need to do more than win an election or win the House or win the presidency, my friends: we need to make this beloved country of ours God's country once again."

[Pat Buchanan at the Christian Coalition 1995 Road to Victory Conference, as reported in the October 1995 issue of Church and State]

Campbell, Rev. Alexander

"There is not one verse in the Bible inhibiting slavery, but many regulating it. It is not then, we conclude, immoral."

Catholic Church

"Both the Magisterium of the Church...and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrisically and gravely disordered action. The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose."

["Catechism of the Catholic Church", 1994]

"We [Catholics] are also under an obligation to keep secrets faithfully. And sometimes the easiest way to fulfill that duty is to say what is false, or to tell a lie."

[Catholic Encyclical X, 195]

"So that a false statement knowingly made to one who has a right to the truth will not be a lie."

[Catholic Encyclical IX, 471]

"If, therefore, the Catholic Church also claims the right of dogmatic intolerance with regard to her teachings, it is unjust to reproach her for exercising this right...She regards dogmatic intolerance not alone as her contestable right, but also as a sacred duty...According to Romans 8:11, the secular authorities have the right to punish, especially grave crimes with death; consequently, 'heretics may be not only excommunicated, but also justly put to death.'"

[The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 Edition, Vol. 14, pp.776,768]

Catholic Decree

"...And whereas it has also come to the knowledge of the said Congregation that the Pythagorean doctrine -- which is false and altogether opposed to the Holy Scripture -- of the motion of the Earth and the immobility of the Sun, which is also taught by Nicolaus Copernicus in De Revolutionibus orbium coelestium, and by Diego de Zuiga on Job, is now being spread abroad and accepted by many... Therefore, in order that this opinion may not insinuate itself any further to the prejudice of Catholic truth, the Holy Congregation has decreed that the said Nicolaus Copernicus, De Revolutionibus orbium, and Diego de Zuiga, On Job, be suspended until they are corrected.

[Decree of the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Index condemning "De Revolutionibus", March 5, 1616]

Clinton, Bill

"Sometimes I think the environment in which we operate is too secular. That fact that we have freedom of religion doesn't mean we need to try to have freedom from religion. It doesn't mean that those of us who have faith shouldn't frankly admit that we are animated by that faith."

"The Bible is the authoritative Word of God and contains all truth."

[Pres. Bill Clinton, at a prayer breakfast]

"I ask you this whole week to pray for me and pray for the members of Congress; ask us not to turn away from our ministry. Our ministry is to do the work of God here on earth"

Dahmer, Jeffrey

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners... But for that very reason, I was shown mercy so that in me... Jesus Christ might display His unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever."

[Jeffrey Dahmer, convicted serial killer, in a statement to the court,Milwaukee,WI, February 17, 1992]

Dean, Judge Braswell

"...this monkey mythology ofDarwin is the cause of permissiveness, promiscuity, prophylactics, perversions, pregnancies, abortions, pornotherapy, pollution, poisoning and proliferation of crimes of all types."

[Judge Braswell Dean, in Time Magazine, March 1981]

Deuteronomy 7:1 (KJV)

When Yahweh your god has settled you in the land you're about to occupy, and driven out many infidels before you...you're to cut them down and exterminate them. You're to make no compromise with them or show them any mercy.

Dole, Bob

"Are we courting you? Maybe we are, but what's wrong with that? You are the glue that holdsAmerica together."

[Bob Dole, to a rally of the Christian Coalition]

Falwell, Jerry

"We're fighting against humanism, we're fighting against liberalism... we are fighting against all the systems of Satan that are destroying our nation today...our battle is with Satan himself."

[Jerry Falwell]

"The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews."

[Rev. Jerry Falwell]

"Our goal has been achieved. The Religious Right is solidly in place, and religious conservatives inAmerica are now in for the duration."

[Jerry Falwell]

"We've literally been inundated since the election (with evangelicals) saying please, please, please crank up the Moral Majority again."

[Jerry Falwell]

"I feel most ministers who claim they've heard God's voice are eating too much pizza before they go to bed at night, and it's really an intestinal disorder, not a revelation."

[Rev. Jerry Falwell]

"I hope I live to see the day, when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!"

[Rev. Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, (1979)]

"I listen to feminists and all these radical gals -- most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men -- that's their problem."

[Reverend Jerry Falwell]

"Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan inAmerica."

[Jerry Falwell]

"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in theRed Sea to save one of Pharoah's chariotters."

[Jerry Falwell]

"If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."

[Jerry Falwell]

"I believe that the people ofIsrael are the chosen people of God."

[Jerry Falwell, interview on Cable News Network, 21 Nov 1982]

"The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country."

[Rev. Jerry Falwell]

"AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that *tolerates* homosexuals."

[Rev. Jerry Falwell, 1993]

"You say what's going to happen on this earth when the Rapture occurs? You'll be riding along in an automobile; you'll be the driver, perhaps; you're a Christian; there'll be several people in the automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds, you and the other born-again Christians in that automobile will be instantly caught away, you'll disappear, leaving behind only your clothing and physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find that the car is moving along without a driver, and suddenly somewhere crashes. Those saved people in the car have disappeared. Other cars on the highway driven by believers will suddenly be out of control. Stark pandemonium will occur on that highway and on every highway in the world where Christians are caught away from the world."

[Jerry Falwell, from Wills, Garry, "Under God, Religion and American Politics", Simon & Schuster, 1990, pg. 147, originally excerpted from "Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon" by Joe Cuomo, National Public Radio]

"He is purple -- the gay-pride color; and his antenna is shaped like a triangle -- the gay-pride symbol.... As a Christian I feel that role modeling the gay lifestyle is damaging to the moral lives of children."

[Rev. Jerry Falwell "outing" Tinky Winky the Teletubby, Feb. 1999 edition of the National Liberty Journal]

"The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this. And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God or successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'."

[Jerry Falwell, on the 700 Club, 9-13-2001]

"I do not believe the Republicans or the Democrats have the solution to America's moral and spiritual dilemma. Only a pervasive and national spiritual awakening can prevent us entering the post-Christian era as we go simultaneously into the 21st century. I believeAmerica is in imminent peril. We are rotting from within."

[Jerry Falwell, "Rebuilding America's Walls," 7/6/1997]

"America is living by a standard of relative morality. Young people who do not know what is right will follow their animal nature. If young people do not believe in absolute truth and absolute morality, they will fornicate, rob and indulge their selfish pleasures. Absolute truth and absolute morality are the basis of the Declaration of Independence. These are self-evident truths and inalienable rights."

[Jerry Falwell]

"IfAmerica is not suffering the irrevocable judgment of God because she has broken her covenant with God, then I believe she is dangerously close."

[Jerry Falwell, "America Made a Deal with God," 7/6/1997]

"Since the Antichrist will not be revealed before Jesus comes, I believe conditions are falling in place, i.e., one-world government, so he can rule the world after Jesus comes. But we're moving toward a one-world government through the United Nations, through the world court and a growing world opinion. The problem is that the one-world opinion is taking the side of the Palestinians, not the side ofIsrael.

[Jerry Falwell, "What is Next in the End-Time Drama," 9/9/2001]

Family Research Council

"While it is true that theUnited States of America was founded on the sacred principle of religious freedom for all, that liberty was never intended to exalt other religions to the level that Christianity holds in our country's heritage. Our Founders expected that Christianity -- and no other religion -- would receive support from the government as long as that support did not violate peoples' consciences and their right to worship. They would have found utterly incredible the idea that all religions, including paganism, be treated with equal deference."

[Family Research Council, on the use of a Hindu cleric to lead prayers in the US Senate in Sept. 2000]

Gingrich, Newt

"The activities engaged in by the Christian Coalition...were a vital part of why we had a revolution at the polls on November 8, 1994."

Hitler, Adolph

"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator. By warding off the Jews I am fighting for the Lord's work."

[Adolph Hitler, Speech, Reichstag, 1936]

"I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it."

[Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, _The Voice of Destruction_, pp. 239-40]

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of theTemple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. And when I look on my people I see them work and work and toil and labor, and at the end of the week they have only for their wages wretchedness and misery. When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exposed."

[Adolf Hitler, speech in Munich on April 12, 1922, countering a political opponent, Count Lerchenfeld, who opposed antisemitism on his personal Christian feelings. Published in "My New Order", quoted in Freethought Today April 1990]

"Today Christians ... stand at the head of [this country]... I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the *poison of immorality* which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of *liberal excess* during the past ... (few) years."

[The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872]

Jesus

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword."

[Jesus, Matthew 10:34]

"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

[Jesus, Luke 19:27, as part of a self-referential parable]

Kelly, Rev. George A.

"Some husbands are unable to prevent the discharge of their semen before the actual union of bodies. This condition is called "premature ejaculation." By exerting self-control and consciously attempting to remain calm through the preparatory stages of love-making, the conscientious husband can learn to retain his semen until after his wife receives him. When premature ejaculation occurs involuntarily--that is, when it is not the result of the husband's deliberate intention to avoid the deposit of semen into his wife's body--it is not immoral. When such ejaculations are resorted to as a means of preventing conception, they are sinful. It is this sin for which God punished Onan, the first known practitioner, with immediate death."

[Rev. George A. Kelly, "The Catholic Marriage Manual" copyright 1958]

Kennedy, Rev. Anthony

"Priestesses should be burnt at the stake because they are assuming powers they have no right to. In the medieval world that was called sorcery. The way of dealing with sorcerers was to burn them at the stake. It's illegal now but if I had my way that is what would happen to them. In medieval times, I would burn the bloody bitches."

[Church of England vicar Rev. Anthony Kennedy, March 9,1994 as reported in the Times, regarding female CofE priests]

"I would shoot the bastards if I was allowed, because a woman can't represent Christ. Men and women are totally different, that's not my fault, and Jesus chose men for his disciples."

[Church of England vicar Rev. Anthony Kennedy, March 9,1994 regarding female CofE priests]

Luther, Martin

"People give ear to an upstart astrologer [Copernicus] who strove to show that the earth revolves, not the heavens or the firmament, the sun and the moon. Whoever wishes to appear clever must devise some new system, which of all systems is of course the very best. This fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy."

[Martin Luther, Works, Volume 22, c. 1543]

"Reason should be destroyed in all Christians."

"The Jews are the most miserable people on earth. They are plagued everywhere, and scattered about all countries, having no certain resting place. They sit as on a wheelbarrow, without a country, people or government... but they are rightly served, for seeing they refused have Christ and his gospel, instead of freedom they must have servitude."

"Men have broad and large chests, and small narrow hips, and more understanding than women, who have but small and narrow breasts, and broad hips, to the end they should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children."

[Martin Luther, Table Talk]

"God created Adam master and lord of living creatures, but Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded him to set himself above God's will. 'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error."

[Martin Luther, "The bondage of the Will," 1527]

"Whoever wants to be a Christian should tear the eyes out of his Reason."

"Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with child- bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for."

[Martin Luther, Works 20.84]

"The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes."

[Martin Luther, Works 12.94]

"Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?"

[Martin Luther,"On the Jews and Their Lies",1543]

"A large number of deaf, crippled and blind people are afflicted solely through the malice of the demon. And one must in no wise doubt that plagues, fevers and every sort of evil come from him."

Massachusetts

"If any person shall Blaspheme the name of God, the Father, Sonne or Holie Ghost, with direct, expresse, Presumptious or high handed blasphemie, or shall curse God in the like manner, he shall be put to death. Lev. 24:15,16"

[Massachusetts' "Body of Liberties" of 1641, Section 94]

Mormon Guide to Self-Control

"When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell "Stop!" to those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind. Then recite a portion of the Bible or sing a hymn."

Pope Stephanus V

"The popes, like Jesus, are conceived by their mothers through the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost. All popes are a certain species of man-gods, for the purpose of being the better able to conduct the functions of mediator between God and mankind. All powers in Heaven, as well as on earth, are given to them."

[Pope Stephanus V, 9th century]

Quayle, Dan

"I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Saviour, for whose Kingdom it stands, one Saviour, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe."

Robertson, Pat

"I think the sky is blue because it's a shift from black through purple to blue, and it has to do with where the light is. You know, the farther we get into darkness, and there's a shifting of color of light into the blueness, and I think as you go farther and farther away from the reflected light we have from the sun or the light that's bouncing off this earth, uh, the darker it gets ... I think if you look at the color scale, you start at black, move it through purple, move it on out, it's the shifting of color. We mentioned before about the stars singing, and that's one of the effects of the shifting of colors."

[Pat Robertson, on a telecast of the 700 Club]

"[The] feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

[Fundraising letter from Pat Robertson that was an in- kind contribution to the Iowa Committee to Stop ERA, as reported in The Washington Post, August 23, 1993]

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that sanctifies the separation of church and state."

"God showed me...that he was going to bless the Christian Coalition beyond our wildest expectations. Before the year 2000, the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful organization inAmerica. We'll be back in 1993. We'll be back in 1994. We'll be back in 1995...We'll be back until we win it all."

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals--the two things seem to go together."

[Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 1/21/93, ADL report on Religious Right, page 131]

"It is the Democratic Congress, the liberal-biased media and the homosexuals who want to destroy all Christians"

[Pat Robertson,Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Sept. 14, 1993]

"Before the year 2000, the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful organization inAmerica."

"Modern experience has shown that usury inevitably leads to subservience. And God did not want his that for his people but rather intend for them to rule... He directed very fifty years that all debt would be cancelled, all property be redistributed, and the cycle begin again... Not withstanding the sneers of many in the banking community, it may be that God's way is the only one open to us - a year of jubillee to straighten us out."

[Pat Robertson, The Secret Kingdom, 1992]

"I have known few homosexuals who did not practice their tendencies. Such people are sinning against God and will lead to the ultimate destruction of the family and our nation. I am unalterably opposed to such things, and will do everything I can to restrict the freedom of these people to spread their contagious infection to the youth of this nation."

"I know one man who was impotent who gave AIDS to his wife and the only thing they did was kiss."

"They have kept us in submission because they have talked about separation of church and state. There is no such thing in the Constitution. It's a lie of the Left, and we're not going to take it anymore."

[Pat Robertson, address toAmerican Center for Law & Justice, reported in The State,Columbia,South Carolina, Nov. 14, 1993]

"That [separation of church and state] was never in the Constitution, however much the liberals laugh at me for saying it, they know good and well it was never in the Constitution! Such language only appeared in the constitution of the communistSoviet Union"

[Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, Jan. 22, 1995]

"These are actually chunks of lung itself being coughed up. I don't understand exactly what it is, but God has healed you right now. Amen."

"For this cause shall a man leave his mother and father and cleave to his flesh.... I mean, cleave to his wife."

[Pat Robertson, on "Larry King Live" August 17, 1992]

"In the 1990s and beyond, the battle is not going to be fought much longer between Christianity and atheistic humanism, but between Christianity and satanic-inspired Eastern religions."

[Pat Robertson, The Secret Kingdom, 1992]

"Sickness and disease will be a part of life of this planet until Jesus comes back."

"A lasting peace will never be built upon man's efforts, because man is sinful, vicious, and wicked."

"I know there are some Christians who believe that war and their participation in it are morally wrong. While I respect their views and must allow them to follow their consciences, I do not believe the Bible teaches pacifism."

"Those who have not lived for Him will be in a place of torment and punishment."

"Whenever the civil government forbids the practice of things that God has commanded us to do, or tells us to do things He has commanded us not to do then we are on solid ground in disobeying the government and rebelling against it."

"Government was instituted by God to bring His laws to people and to carry out His will and purposes."

"When any civil government steps outside the mandate authorized by God Almighty, then that government does not have any further claim over its citizens."

"I believe that he [Jesus] is Lord of the government, and the church, and business and education, and, hopefully, one day, Lord of the press. I see him involved in everything. And that's why I don't want to stay just in the church, as such. I want the church to move into the world."

"Satan is a tool of God's love in the sense that he forces us to see God's loving patience."

"If you go all the way back to the days just following creation, men lived nine hundred years or more."

"Therefore the spiritual standard forAmerica would be the gospel of Jesus and everything in the Old and New Testaments."

"My personal feeling is that oral sex is against nature."

"The strategy aginst the American radical left should be the same as General Douglas MacArthur employed against the Japanese in the Pacific... bypass their strongholds, then surround them, isolate them bombard them, then blast the individuals out of their power bunkers with hand-to-hand combat. The battle forIwo Jima was not pleasant, but our troops won it. The battle to regain the soul ofAmerica won't be pleasant either, but we will win it."

[Pat Robertson, in "Pat Robertson's Perspective," April-May 1992]

"There will never be world peace until God's house and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy moneychangers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top?"

[Pat Robertson, "TheNew World Order", 1991, P. 227, Word Publishing]

"The key in terms of mental ability is chess. There's never been a woman Grand Master chess player. Once you get one, then I'll buy some of the feminism..."

[Pat Robertson (According to the Chess Federation of the U.S. there were already two women Grand Masters at that time, both fromGeorgia. Since Robertson's gaffe, three more women became Grand Masters)]

"Popular television is flooded with filth and violence; MTV, VH-1, and pop radio stations are sewers of obscenity, rebellion and violence; pop magazines promote the vilest forms of pornography and a form of materialism, selfishness, and greed that has fallen to the lowest levels in human history."

[Pat Robertson, "TheNew World Order"]

"Students atRegent University are obligated to be concerned for the conduct of their peers in accordance with Luke 17:3, 'If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him'. A student accused by another of violating the Guidelines for Community Life will be dealt with in accordance with the Student Discipline Procedure, which follows the biblical teaching in Matthew 18:15 - 17 '...and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector'."

[Regent University Graduate Catalog 1994-1996, p. 28, Pat Robertson, Chancellor]

"The courts are merely a ruse, if you will, for humanist, atheistic educators to beat up on Christians."

[Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, Oct. 2,1990]

"I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period."

[Pat Robertson, newsletter as quoted by Federal News Service, Sept. 11, 1992]

"Why are so many marriages falling apart? Why is the divorce rate so high? ...Why is there such a tragedy in marriage?...Now the basic answer to the basic problem of marriages today is a question of leadership. The wife actually makes the husband the head of the household and she looks to him and she says 'now you pray, and I'm going to pray for you that the Lord will speak to you."

[Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, May 22, 1986]

"Communism was the brain-child of German-Jewish intellectuals."

[Pat Robertson when asked the question "Does the Bible specifically tell us what is going to happen in the future", "700 Club" December 2, 1981]

"The mission of the Christian Coalition is simple, to mobilize Christians-- one precinct at a time, one community at a time -- until once again we are the head and not the tail, and at the top rather than the bottom of our political system....the Christian Coalition will be the most powerful political force in America by the end of this decade.. We have enough votes to run this country...and when the people say, 'We've had enough,' we're going to take over!"

"We want...as soon as possible to see a majority of the Republican Party in the hands of pro-family Christians by 1996."

[Pat Robertson,Denver Post, 10/26/92]

"People have immortal spirits with incredible power over elemental things. The way to deal with inanimate matter is to talk to it."

[Rev. Pat Robertson, quoted in San Francisco Examiner]

"We are not one nation, we are two nations entirely separate (Christian and non-Christian)."

"There is no way that a United Nations, aLeague of Nations, peace treaties, disarmament treaties, or any other human instrument can bring about peace. Such things mean nothing when one nation desires the land and resources of another. A lasting peace will never be built upon man's efforts, because man is sinful, vicious, and wicked. Until men are changed and Satan's power is removed, there will not be peace on earth."

[Pat Robertson, "Answers to 200 of Life's Most Probing Questions"]

"God in his great mercy has blessedAmerica, and made this a haven for Christians and Jews alike. But we've gone away from our Christian heritage. And God has little obligation at the present time to spareAmerica, because we are polluting the world with our television programs, our movies and so forth, our books. We are polluting the whole world. We've made the world drunk, if you will, with the wine of our fornication. The whole world has been affected byHollywood."

[Pat Robertson, The 700 Club, December 7, 1995]

"[on the September 11 terrorist attacks] We have allowed rampant secularism and occult, etc. to be broadcast on television. We have permitted somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to 40 million unborn babies to be slaughtered in our society. We have a court that has essentially stuck its finger in God's eye and said we're going to legislate you out of the schools. We're going to take your commandments from off the courthouse steps in various states. We're not going to let little children read the commandments of God. We're not going to let the Bible be read, no prayer in our schools. We have insulted God at the highest levels of our government. And, then we say 'why does this happen?' It is happening because God Almighty is lifting His protection from us.

[Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," 9/13/2001]

"[on abortion providers] The word I got is that if the judges appointed by man will not deal with those who take innocent human life, then the Lord is going to enter in and bring justice. And when that happens many of the innocent will suffer along with the guilty."

[Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club," January 1, 1996]

"[on Gay Day at Disney World] "I would warn Orlando that you're right in the way of some serious hurricanes and I don't think I'd be waving those flags in God's face if I were you, This is not a message of hate; this is a message of redemption. But a condition like this will bring about the destruction of your nation. It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

[Pat Robertson, "The 700 Club" June 6, 1998]

"Well, as missionaries possibly to spread the doctrine of Islam....is not a peaceful religion that wants to coexist. They want to coexist until they can control, dominate and then, if need be, destroy."

[Pat Robertson, on the 700 Club]

St Augustine

"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell."

[Saint Augustine]

"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn."

[St. Augustine, "De Genesi ad litteram libri duodecim" (The Literal Meaning of Genesis)]

"I feel that nothing so casts down the manly mind from it's height as the fondling of women and those bodily contacts which belong to the married state."

[St. Augustine, De Trinitate 7.7]

"All diseases of Christians are to be ascribed to demons; chiefly do they torment freshly-baptized Christians, yea, even the guiltless new-born infants."

[Saint Augustine (354-430)]

"It is indeed better (as no one ever could deny) that men should be led to worship God by teaching, than that they should be driven to it by fear of punishment or pain; but it does not follow that because the former course produces the better men, therefore those who do not yield to it should be neglected. For many have found advantage (as we have proved, and are daily proving by actual experiment), in being first compelled by fear or pain, so that they might afterwards be influenced by teaching, or might follow out in act what they had already learned in word."

[St. Augustine, Treatise on the Correction of the Donatists (417), p.214]

"Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations."

[St. Augustine (354-430), "Soliloquies"]

"Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should, in fact, be segregated as they are the cause of hideous and involuntary erections in holy men."

[St. Augustine]

"This then is not God, if thou has comprehended it; but if this be God, thou hast not comprehended it."

[St. Augustine, "Sermo LII"]

"It is impossible that there should be inhabitants on the opposite side of the Earth, since no such race is recorded by Scripture among the descendants of Adam."

[St. Augustine, from "The Dark Side of Christian History" by Linda Ellerbe, 1995, Morningstar Books]

"Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder."

[St. Augustine]

"Defective children will result if conceived during menstruation. Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should be segregated because they are the cause of unholy erections in holy men."

[Saint Augustine (354-430)]

Swaggart, Jimmy

"The minister of the Gospel is really the yardstick by which the nation measures its morals."

[Jimmy Swaggart]

"Evolution is a bankrupt speculative philosophy, not a scientific fact. Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it. ... Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory."

[Rev. Jimmy Swaggart]

"If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell."

[Jimmy Swaggart, 5/20/88]

"Sex education classes in our public schools are promoting incest."

[Jimmy Swaggart, TV preacher, self-described pornography addict who paid prostitutes to commit "pornographic acts", hypocrite]

"I turn on my television set. I see a young lady who goes under the guise of being a Christian, known all over the nation, dressed in skin-tight leather pants, shaking and wiggling her hips to the beat and rhythm of the music as the strobe lights beat their patterns across the stage and the band plays the contemporary rock sound which cannot be differentiated from songs by the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, or anyone else. And you may try to tell me this is of God and that it is leading people to Christ, but I know better."

[Jimmy Swaggart, hypocritical sexual pervert and TV preacher, self-described pornography addict, "Two points of view: 'Christian' rock and roll.", The Evangelist, 17(8): 49-50.]

"I maintain that the Catholic superstructure and organization is not really a Christian organization. Its claims are false. When you remove all the smoke screens and evasions, it is, in fact, a false religion.

[Jimmy Swaggart, TV preacher]
