Pat Robertson Criticizes Brittany Maynard: ‘So-Called Liberals Are A Culture Of Death’
[su_right_ad]Brittany Maynard has decided to end her life in Oregon, where doctor-assisted suicide is legal. Pat Robertson blames this decision on liberals.
Robertson lashed out that “the so-called liberals are a culture of death, they want to kill babies, they want to kill the terminally ill, they don’t seem to honor life.”
Robertson said that terminally ill people like Maynard face “pressure” to die and that instead of seeking options for ending their own lives, they should ask for faith healings from people like Robertson.
“She has brain cancer, but brain cancer can get healed, God can heal anything,” said Robertson, who once claimed that he healed a woman of a brain tumor.

HEY PAT…don’t forget your meds

And so called christians are a waste of breath.

She shouldn’t end her life, but instead worship the merciful God, who gave her brain cancer.
Maybe He will repay her devotion by giving her a flesh-eating virus, or something.

To bad he doesn’t say the same thing about people on death row.

Fundamentalism excuses itself from having to follow logic, it’s a terrible inconvenience.

Cant believe his voice matters in this situation. How dare he criticize what another person does when they are dealing with a terminal illness. This woman is most likely already dealing with a lot of pain and she doesn’t want her family to grieve for her as she is living. I, like most of us, have dealt with death of loved ones and seeing them hurt is devastating. I completely support anyone who wants to end their life before a disease destroys them.

Then heal her, Pat. If you can channel God’s power to heal, why don’t you do that instead of running your mouth? How incredibly evil you must be to prefer to harangue ‘liberals’ rather than use your supposed power to heal.

And that person he supposedly healed? Let’s see some medical proof. Even the Vatican requires that before they will canonize someone.

But they will take a sincere lie as proof if it’s politically advantageous to do so. Mother Teresa was an Agnostic when she dies and the ‘healings’ attributed to her were phoney.

As a proponent of a death centered religion, what’s the problem? She not giving enough of what money she has left to the church? Hasn’t asked for YOUR blessing?

maybe if her parents and loved ones put up enough cash, he could bring her back.

She isn’t beholding to the likes of you, Pat.
She need not ask for either your help or your approval…for she has no need to do so!
Let he go in peace, you bitter old Geezer-for-God–she deserves peace, not belittling or rebuking!
OBTW–who died and made you God of all Gods, anyway?
Last time I checked, you yourself don’t have that much time left.
And it’s later than you realize, Pat.
