has made outspoken opinions with respect to both religion, politics and several other subjects. Many of his statements have stirred controversy and several have been headline news in the United States, and elsewhere. Many of these comments have been made on his daily , .
In the 1970s and 1980s Robertson was a .
devoted a chapter of his book , criticising Robertson's faith healing. Randi commented that "in 1986, soon after the full importance of the
epidemic began to become evident, Robertson was attempting to cure it by proclaiming people cured after prayer. Randi commented, "Gerry Straub, a former associate of Pat Robertson and his television producer, pointed out in his book Salvation for Sale the astonishing fact that God seemed to time miracles to conform with standard television format," and "God would stop speaking to Pat and stop healing exactly in time with the theme music." Randi explained that "in 1979, it appeared to Robertson's staff that their boss had been taking lessons from " and "proposed to film the !". The project was eventually publicly dropped, but "budget allocations [CBN] are made for their development."
Robertson prayed to God to steer hurricanes away from his company's ,
headquarters. He credited his prayers for steering the course of
in 1985. The storm instead hit the Mid-Atlantic states and New England, causing $900 million in damage and eight deaths.
In an August 1986
article Robertson is quoted saying, "It is interesting, that termites don't build things, and the great builders of our nation almost to a man have been Christians, because Christians have the desire to build something. He is motivated by love of man and God, so he builds. The people who have come into [our] institutions [today] are primarily termites. They are into destroying institutions that have been built by Christians, whether it is universities, governments, our own traditions, that we have... The termites are in charge now, and that is not the way it ought to be, and the time has arrived for a godly fumigation."
During Robertson's unsuccessful presidential bid in 1987, Robertson told a Wall Street Journal reporter that his wedding date was actually five months after the date he had always maintained. Reporters said that the actual wedding date meant that his first son was conceived out of wedlock and that Robertson had lied about the date of his marriage in an attempt to cover the truth up. While conceding the reports were accurate, Robertson said that conceiving his son out of wedlock occurred before Jesus Christ had entered his life. Robertson denounced the media choosing to report on the issue as "outrageous" and "reprehensible."
On January 14, 1991, on The 700 Club, Pat Robertson attacked a number of
denominations when he declared: "You say you're supposed to be nice to the
and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the ."
Robertson frequently denounces the religion of
people. During a 1995 taping of The 700 Club, he called the religion a "Christian ". During a September 19, 2002 episode of 's , Robertson claimed that the Muslim Prophet , was "an absolute wild-eyed fanatic… a robber and a brigand." On the July 14, 2005 broadcast of the The 700 Club, he claimed that "Islam, at its core, teaches violence."
On the March 13, 2006 broadcast of The 700 Club Robertson stated that
want global domination and that the outpouring of rage elicited by
"just shows the kind of people we're dealing with. These people are crazed fanatics, and I want to say it now: I believe it's motivated by
power. It is
and it's time we recognize what we're dealing with." He finished by stating "by the way, Islam is not a ." The Rev. , executive director of , slammed Robertson's comments as "grossly irresponsible". Lynn went on to say, "At a time when inter-religious tensions around the world are at an all-time high, Robertson seems determined to throw gasoline on the fire."
On the September 25, 2006 broadcast of The 700 Club Robertson stated "It's amazing how the
deal with history and the truth with violence. They don't understand what reasoned dialogue is..."
On the November 9, 2009 edition of The 700 Club Robertson stated "Islam is a violent – I was going to say, 'religion', but it' it's a political system. It's a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world, and world domination. That is the ultimate aim. And they talk about infidels and all this, but the truth is that's what the game is. So, you're dealing with a – not a religion – you're dealing with a political system. And I think we should treat it as such, and treat its adherents as such, as we would members of the Communist Party, or members of some fascist group."
On March 23, 1995, Pat Robertson led a television program in which he attacked Hinduism, calling it "demonic". He said that they worship "idols" and "hundreds of millions of deities," which "has put a nation in bondage to spiritual forces that have deceived many for thousands of years." He spoke against the doctrines of
These and other remarks have been repudiated by some . Dr. Kusumita Pedersen, Director for the Project on Human Rights and Religion, commented that Robertson has employed "almost every
that has been used about
since the 18th century."
In his book The New World Order, Robertson wrote: "When I said during my presidential bid that I would bring only Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. 'What do you mean?' the media challenged me. 'You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, 'Yes, they are.'"
, Senior Research Analyst of the , points out that such "religious tests for office are unconstitutional. It's not just a purely a religious statement. It's a political statement."
Robertson is opposed to
and . He has described
as a ", anti- political movement that encourages women to , , practice , destroy
and become ."
Many of Robertson's views mirror those of fellow evangelical activist pastor , who made frequent appearances on The 700 Club. He agreed with Falwell when Falwell stated that the
were caused by ", abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the
and the ."
The June 8, 1998 edition of his show, where Robertson denounced
for allowing a privately sponsored "Gay Days" weekend, also drew criticism from Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Robertson stated that the acceptance of
could result in , , ,
and "possibly a ," prompting Americans United to criticize Robertson, saying it was "deplorable that Robertson is using the tragedy of these fires to promote his religious and political agenda." The resulting outcry prompted Robertson to return to the topic on June 24, where he quoted the
to support his claims. The first hurricane of the , , actually turned away from Florida and instead damaged the rest of the east coast. The area hardest hit by the hurricane was the Hampton Roads region, which includes Virginia Beach, the place of origin of Robertson's . While other hurricanes did hit Florida, none of them hit Disney World.
While discussing the
on the October 5, 2006 broadcast of the show, Robertson condemned
saying he "does what gay people do" and claiming that it would not hurt Republican chances in the elections, as “the church people understand forgiveness, they understand sin.”
announced a joint venture with Robertson to establish banks in the United States that conduct all business by telephone, a business model that had been successful in the United Kingdom. Robertson said that the
ignored the teachings of Saint Paul because they have ordained gays. Robertson also said that Scotland was "a dark land" overrun by gays. In response the
dropped their plans for a business operation with Robertson, following customer complaints. In a press release, Robertson said that "media comments about him had made it impossible to proceed."
An investigation by the Commonwealth of Virginia's Office of Consumer Affairs determined that Robertson "willfully induced contributions from the public through the use of misleading statements and other implications" and called for a criminal prosecution against Robertson in 1999. However, Virginia Attorney General , a Republican whose largest campaign contributor two years earlier was Robertson himself, intervened, accepting that Robertson had made deceptive appeals but overruling the recommendation for his prosecution.
In a 2001 interview with 's , he said that the Chinese were "doing what they have to do," regarding 's , sometimes enforced with compulsory abortions, though he said that he did not personally agree with the practice. The statement drew criticisms from a variety of groups, including the , , and .
In April 2002, Robertson acknowledged buying a , named "Mr. Pat", for $520,000. He told a New York Times reporter that his interest in the horse was based purely on its aesthetics. "I don't bet and I don't gamble. I just enjoy watching horses running and performing." Christian scholar
criticised this statement by Robertson, stating "The whole culture of horse racing involves gambling, and all the money comes from people trying to hit it big gambling. This is like saying you're investing in a
but aren't in favor of prostitution."
Robertson repeatedly supported former
in various episodes of his
program during the United States' involvement in the
in June and July 2003. Robertson accuses the
bad advice in supporting Taylor's ouster as president, and of trying "as hard as they can to destabilize Liberia."
Robertson was criticized for failing to mention in his broadcasts his $8,000,000 (USD) investment in a Liberian . Taylor had been indicted by the
at the time of Robertson's support, and was found guilty of , including murder, rape, slavery and the use of child soldiers.
Prosecutors also said that Taylor had harbored members of
responsible for the
and . According to Robertson, the Liberian gold mine Freedom Gold was intended to help pay for humanitarian and evangelical efforts in Liberia, when in fact the company was allowed to fail leaving many debts both in Liberia and in the international mining service sector.[] Regarding this controversy, , head of the 's public policy said, "I would say that Pat Robertson is way out on his own, in a leaking life raft, on this one."
Robertson has also been accused of using his tax-exempt, nonprofit organization, , as a front for his own financial gain, and then using his influence in the Republican Party to cover his tracks. After making emotional pleas in 1994 on The 700 Club for cash donations to Operation Blessing to support airlifts of refugees from Rwanda to Zaire, a reporter from The Virginian-Pilot stated that Operation Blessing's planes were transporting diamond-mining equipment for the Robertson-owned African Development Corporation, a venture Robertson had established in cooperation with 's dictator, , whom Robertson had befriended earlier in 1993. According to Operation Blessing documents, Robertson personally owned the planes used for Operation Blessing airlifts. A documentary exploring the Operation Blessing controversies, entitled , premiered at the .
Robertson continues to state that Operation Blessing was largely responsible for providing aid to Rwanda following the 1994 genocide, even after an official investigation into Operation Blessing described it as a "fraudulent and deceptive" operation that provided almost no aid. According to , all Operation Blessing volunteers did was recite Bible passages at dying refugees. Robertson was accused of taking credit for work that was actually done by . On December 12, 2013, The Guardian issued an apology to Operation Blessing over false claims in the article "Mission Congo: how Pat Robertson raised millions on the back of a non-existent aid project" and agreed to make a contribution to Operation Blessing to be used in its relief efforts for victims of
in the Philippines. A 1999 report concluded that whilst Robertson's request for donations to Operation Blessing had been misleading, they were not an intentional attempt to commit fraud.
television program, Pat Robertson has sharply criticized elements of the United States government and "special interest" groups that do not share his views. In October 2003 interviews with author Joel Mowbray about his book "Dangerous Diplomacy", a book critical of the , Robertson made suggestions that the explosion of a
at State Department Headquarters would be good for the country, and repeated those comments on the air. "What we need is for somebody to place a small nuke at ."
Pat Robertson claimed in 2004 that President Bush told him before he led the United States into the , that he expected there to be no casualties. He made this claim in an interview with , on October 19, 2004. President Bush's then-press secretary
denied the allegation. Mike McCurry, press secretary for Democratic Senator
of Massachusetts, who was Bush's opponent for the presidency in the 2004 election, said that Bush deserved the benefit of the doubt, but he should say whether or not Robertson was telling the truth or lying.
has News related to this article section:
On the August 22, 2005 broadcast of The 700 Club, Robertson said of
I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.
Robertson also said that Chávez was "going to make
a launching pad for
infiltration and
extremism all over the continent" and called the leader an "out-of-control dictator... a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil that could hurt us very badly."
Assassinations of heads of state have been against U.S. policy since an
against them was issued in 1976; in response,
said that "our department doesn't do that kind of thing." , Venezuela's
to the U.S., demanded a stronger condemnation from the
and that the United States "respect our country and its president."
On the August 24 edition of The 700 Club, Robertson asserted that he hadn't actually called for Chávez's assassination, but that there were other ways of "taking him out", such as having
carry out a . Robertson explicitly denied having used the word "assassination", though the word "assassinate" was present in his initial statement. Later that day, he issued a written statement in which he said, "Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him". However, he continued to justify his original stance on the potential threat Chávez posed to U.S. interests, even reiterating his support for Chavez's assassination on the February 2, 2006 edition of , replying "[N]ot now, but one day, one day, one day," when asked whether Robertson wanted Chavez taken out.
On Sunday, August 28, 2005, Chávez called on the U.S.
to investigate the matter: "My government is going to take legal action in the United States," he said in a televised speech. "If the U.S. government does not take the necessary steps, we will denounce the U.S. government at the
and the ".
His comments are on the
song "Blessed Are the Land Mines" on their 2008 album .
On the November 5, 2005 airing of The 700 Club, Robertson claimed that Reverend , director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, said that ""if a church is burning down, the local community could not send the fire engine to put the fire out because that would violate, quote, separation of church and state." Rev. Lynn responded, denying the allegation and saying "I've seen [Robertson] take pot shots at me with information I have repeatedly told them is not true. Robert-son, for example, continues to tell national television audiences that I believe that a public fire department can't go to a burning church without violating the separation of church and state. He apparently uses this "anecdote" to demonstrate my radical, wacky beliefs. Trouble is (for him), I never said it and don't believe it." Robertson also drew criticism from
for the statement in their magazine, Citizen, saying that "One Christian conservative leader [presumably Robertson] has mistakenly suggested that Lynn would say a burning church shouldn't be able to call the fire department lest it violate the bounds of church-state separation."
Wikinews has related news:
On his November 10, 2005 broadcast of , Robertson told citizens of
that they had rejected God by voting out of office all seven members of the
who support .
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected him from your city", Robertson said on his broadcast.
"And don't wonder why he hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for his help because he might not be there."
In a written statement, Robertson later clarified his comments:
"God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever. If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on . Maybe he can help them."
The lead story on the January 5, 2006, edition of The 700 Club was
's hospitalization for a severe stroke. After the story, Robertson said that Sharon's illness was possibly retribution from God for his recent drive to give more land to the . He also claimed former prime minister 's 1995 assassination may have occurred for the same reason.
The remarks drew criticism from all sides, even from other evangelicals. For instance, , president of the 's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said that Robertson "ought to know better" than to say such things. He added, "...the arrogance of the statement shocks me almost as much as the insensitivity of it." , then president of the , said that "any doctor could have predicted (Sharon's) going to have health problems" and that his illness was medical, not divine retribution. The White House called Robertson's statement "wholly inappropriate and offensive". Robertson was also chastised by Israeli officials and members of the .
On January 11, Israel responded by announcing that Robertson would be banned from involvement in a project to build a Christian tourist attraction and pilgrimage site near the
known as the Christian Heritage Center. The plan had called for Israel leasing 35 acres (140,000 m2) of land to a group of evangelicals (including Robertson) for free to create several tourist attractions and pilgrimage sites in exchange for the evangelicals raising 50 million dollars in funding. A spokesman for the Tourism Ministry commented, "We cannot accept these statements, and we will not sign any contracts with Mr. Robertson."
He added that the decision would not apply to all members of the evangelical community: "We want to see who in the group supports his (Robertson's) statements. Those who support the statements cannot do business with us. Those that publicly support Ariel Sharon's recovery ... are welcome to do business with us."
On January 12, Robertson sent a letter to Sharon's son , apologizing for his comments. In the letter, Robertson called Ariel Sharon a "kind, gracious and gentle man" who was "carrying an almost insurmountable burden of making decisions for his nation." He added that his "concern for the future safety of your nation led me to make remarks which I can now view in retrospect as inappropriate and insensitive in light of a national grief experienced because of your father's illness... I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel." Omri and the Israeli government accepted the apology, though it remained unclear whether the deal with Robertson would be rehabilitated.
While some observers were satisfied by the gesture, some reporters also accused Robertson of using the apology as a tactic allowing him to make such statements while promoting a public image among evangelicals as a leader who does not compromise on his values. Surprisingly, some of the harsher criticism of Robertson did not come from American or Israeli Jews, but from his fellow evangelicals and conservative Christians, who charged that Robertson's behavior did serious harm to evangelicals' image, and led to unfair generalizations and criticism of them.
The fallout from Robertson's comments was still visible over a m after speaking with organizers of the
February 2006 convention, Robertson wound up cancelling his planned keynote speech.
A representative from Israel's Tourism Ministry diplomatically commented, "Pat Robertson has been a long-term friend of the state of Israel, and continues to be so."
In March 2006, Robertson lost a bid for re-election to the board of directors of the National Religious Broadcasters.
On the March 21, 2006 broadcast of The 700 Club, while reviewing
by , the subject of which is radical academics in American universities, Robertson went on to say that the 101 professors named in the book are only but a few of "thirty to forty thousand"
professors in the United States, all of whom he accused of being "racists, murderers, sexual deviants and supporters of ," further labeling them as "termites that have worked into the woodwork of our academic society." Later in the broadcast, he went on to say, "these guys are out and out communists, they are radicals, they are, you know, some of them killers, and they are propagandists of the first order... you don’t want your child to be brainwashed by these radicals, you just don’t want it to happen. Not only brainwashed but also beat up, they beat these people up, cower them into submission."
In May 2006 Robertson began claiming on his web site that through training and his "Age-Defying energy shake", he is able to
2,000 lb (907 kg) while others claim he is a liar, pushing a common energy formula. Two-thousand pounds would be an exceptional accomplishment for a world-class athlete, to say nothing of Robertson, then in his seventies. For comparative purposes, when
set the Florida State University record of 1,335 lb (606 kg), the leg press machine required extensive modifications to hold the proper amount of weight, and the capillaries in both of Kendra's eyes burst during his successful attempt. Thus, Robertson's claimed achievement would add 665 lb (302 kg) to the best-ever total of Kendra, a top athlete in his physical prime, who later played in the
and tried unsuccessfully to become a .
In response to the skepticism of this claim, Robertson's website has claimed that his doctor is able to leg press 2,700 lb (1,225 kg), and that "It is not nearly as hard as the authors of these reports make it out to be." A video has also been provided supposedly demonstrating Robertson doing several reps with a weight of 1,000 lb (454 kg). In the video Pat Robertson is seen using a 45 degree sled type leg press machine, which reduces the effective weight to 707 lb (321 kg) (sin(45°) x ;lbs). He keeps the safety locks in place at the second step, which severely limits the range of possible motion. The seat is positioned to allow approximately six inches of travel after the lock. This setup gives Pat Robertson the maximum mechanical advantage at the last few inches of travel. In contrast, actual leg press technique is allowing the weight to slide down until the hip and knee joints are at significant flexion. The video of Roberson’s lift has also been criticized because it does not appear to verify his claim that he’s lifting 1,000 lb (454 kg). Mike DeBonis of
noted “It appears as if 16 plates are loaded on the machine. Four of them look like 100-pound plates, and the rest are 45s. That adds up to 940 pounds.” DeBonis also noted that Robertson is using incorrect form as he “helps his legs by pushing on his knees with his arms. That's a no-no. He also achieves nowhere near the recommended full range of motion, which is to bring the knees to at least a 90-degree angle.” DeBonis saw the claims made by Robertson and similar claims by
(that she can press 400 lb (181 kg)) as yet another proof of the inferiority of that particular machine in comparison to the , “Most leg press machines are constructed as either a sled angled at 45 degrees or a lever. (There are some that use cables, too.) In all cases, some of the weight gets borne by the machine. You may be loading 400 pounds, but your muscles are feeling only 200.” The video has since been removed from the CBN website.
Robertson responded to questions concerning the lift in an interview with . He maintained his claim to have done it but admitted "I didn't do it with the same form that these professional bodybuilders do, which is a full squat, and it's very difficult. But I did do it. I regularly can do 1,000 pounds and 1,200 pounds." He said he used an incline leg press and did "the full extension on that particular machine. They have a brake on it. I was told put the brake on. When the professionals do it, they take the brake off and let the weight come all the way down on them. And if you don't have a lot of help, you've got a Volkswagen sitting on your hips. I didn't do that."
In June 2006, , a nutritional supplement retailer, announced without explanation that it would stop carrying Robertson's energy drink.
On the February 7, 2007 edition of The 700 Club, Robertson stated that people who have too much
"got the eyes like they're Oriental" and stretched his eyelids in a manner stereotypical of .
On the January 13, 2010 broadcast of , Robertson blamed the
for making a
during their , resulting in the
and other misfortunes. He told viewers of his :
...something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it, they were under the heel of the French, uh, you know,
and whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil, they said, we will serve you, if you get us free from the French, true story. And so the
said, 'OK, it's a deal.' And they kicked the French out, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free, and ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor.
He went on to state:
That island of
is one island. It is on the one side is Haiti on the other is the . Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty. Same island. They need to have and we need to pray for them a great turning to God and out of this tragedy I'm optimistic something good may come. But right now we are helping the suffering people and the suffering is unimaginable.
The reference to a "pact to the devil" was later said by CBN to be a reference to the
ceremony conducted by
involving animal sacrifice in
that began the Haitian revolution. Contrary to Robertson's claims however, this ceremony and the religion of Vodou in general does not involve
or devil worship. Robertson mistakenly identified the French government as that of , as Haiti became independent (and the Revolution won) four years before
was born. In fact, it was
(by far, the more famous of the two rulers), who sent a French army to try to recapture Haiti a decade after its revolution. The force was destroyed by
and the fierce resistance led by Haitian generals.
Veteran Christian radio broadcaster Michael Ireland stated that this
ceremony has long been erroneously referenced by various self-assoiling Christian sources as the "pact with the devil" or "pact to the devil" that began the Haitian revolution. This Vodou ceremony was a ceremonial impulsion to the liberation of thousands of abjectly enslaved peoples under French, mostly Christian, tyranny: and as such has been perverted over the following decades to besmear a righteous liberty-struggle as formed of wicked means. These Christians were influenced by
theology and concerned that the
government had made efforts to incorporate the Vodou sector more fully into the political process. These Evangelicals developed a counter-narrative to the official national story. In this narrative, the ancestral spirits at the Vodou cemetery were re-cast as demons. In their view, the engagement with demons amounted to a pact that put Haiti under the rule of Satan. While some Haitian Evangelicals subscribe to this idea, most Haitian nationalists vehemently oppose it. According to
researcher Markel Thylefors, "The event of the Bwa Kayiman ceremony forms an important part of Haitian national identity as it relates to the very genesis of Haiti."

Pat Robertson condemned harsh sentences for people convicted of possession of . Robertson stated, “We're locking up people that take a couple of puffs of marijuana, and the next thing you know they've got 10 years.” He went on to say, “I'm not exactly for the use of drugs – don't get me wrong – but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot and that kind of thing, I mean, it's just costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people.”
Robertson’s remarks were applauded by the
and the . Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance
said, "The people who are listening to him may roll their eyes when the Democrats say this, but when Pat Robertson says this he has credibility in the faith community."
Appearing on , Vice President
condemned Robertson's commentary, saying, “I still believe it's a gateway drug. I've spent a lot of my life as chairman of the Judiciary Committee dealing with this. I think it would be a mistake to legalize.”
On the September 14, 2011, broadcast of , a viewer talked about a friend who was bitter at God because his wife had , and the friend had started seeing another woman. The viewer asked Robertson for his advice. Robertson responded, "I know it sounds cruel, but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her." He continued saying, "If you respect that vow, you say 'til death do us part. This is a kind of death."
In response, , Dean of the School of Theology at the , wrote that Robertson's comments were "a repudiation of the gospel of Jesus Christ" and that "Pat Robertson's cruel marriage statement is no anomaly. He and his cohorts have given us for years a
with more in common with an
than a cross."
Following a backlash over Robertson's advice, Robertson said, "Basically I’m saying, adultery is not a good thing and you might as well straighten your life out and the only way to do it is to kind of get your affair with your wife in order. ... I was not giving advice to the whole world and nor was I counseling anybody to be unscriptural and leave their spouse. ... Please know that I believe the Bible. Please know that I never would tell anybody to leave their sick spouse. I never never would say such a thing because I need my spouse when I get sick and she needs me when she gets sick. In sickness and in health, I believe it!"
Robertson was criticized in September 2012 after a man called Michael called the The 700 Club asking for advice on what to do about his wife not respecting him. Robertson called the woman a "rebellious child" who did not want to "submit to any authority." He jokingly suggested that Michael become a

On televangelist 's
(as aired October 31, 2012 on the
network), Hinn conducted a 30-minute interview with fellow televangelist . At the 10:47 mark, the following exchange takes place:
Pat Robertson: "He's gonna win. Romney will win the election."
Benny Hinn: "What makes you believe that?"
Pat Robertson: "Because The Lord told me."
In November 2012, a viewer of The 700 Club wrote that one of her biggest fears was that her children and husband would not go to heaven “because they question why the Bible could not explain the existence of .”
Before answering the question, Robertson acknowledged the statement was controversial by saying, “I know that people will probably try to lynch me when I say this.” He then replied: “You go back in time, you've got radiocarbon dating. You got all these things, and you've got the carcasses of dinosaurs frozen in time out in the Dakotas,” they're out there. So, there was a time when these giant reptiles were on the Earth, and it was before the time of the Bible. So, don't try and cover it up and make like everything was 6,000 years. That's not the Bible. And so if you fight revealed science you’re going to lose your children, and I believe in telling them the way it was.”
and director of ,
responded to Robertson's commentary by saying: "Not only do we have to work hard to not let our kids be led astray by the anti-God teaching of the secularists, we have to work hard to not let them be led astray by compromising church leaders like Pat Robertson. Pat Robertson gives more fodder to our enemies." Ham said, referring to
who applauded Robertson online for his statements. He went on to say that, "Such leaders — including Pat Robertson — have a lot to answer to the Lord for one day, such leaders are guilty of putting stumbling blocks in the way of kids and adults in regards to believing God’s word and the Gospel."

He also said that the homosexual community had put laws on the books prohibiting people from mentioning their
During the weekly edition of the The 700 Club show on 16 October 2014, a viewer sent in an email saying she had been called by God to go on a mission trip to Kenya but friends and family had expressed fears that she could catch Ebola in Kenya. In his answer, Robertson pointed out that there was not currently an outbreak of Ebola in Kenya, but warned of the risk of AIDS, stating: “You might get AIDS in Kenya, people have AIDS, you’ve got to be careful. I mean, the towels could have AIDS.” Health experts subsequently stated that towels cannot have AIDS. The comment angered viewers in Kenya who took to twitter to express their disproval using the
