Using TV, Christian Pat Robertson Denounces Hinduism as "Demonic"
Evangelist Opposes Freedom of Religion, Says It's Time To Convert India and Wants to Keep Hinduism Out of US
By Valli J. Rajan, Pennsylvania
It's not that unusual for Pat Robertson's daily Christian TV show, the "700 Club," to portray other religions in less than a complimentary light. Jews, Muslims and occasionally Hindus are singled out for a scathing recounting of their spiritual errors. Still, I was shocked to see Robertson on his March 23th show label Hinduism as "demonic" and advocate keeping Hindus out of America. My concerns intensified when President Clinton later implicated hateful talk in the fatal Oklahoma City bombing.
[...]
The March 23rd episode details Robertson's conversion of some Hindu people of Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh, India, to the Christian religion. In the course of the show, Robertson makes shameful, unChristian accusations against the Hindu faith, the world's oldest religion. When contacted, Mr. Robertson's office told us he was "unavailable for comment."
To begin, Robertson's experiences in Rajahmundry are described by a narrator. The scene is of a poverty-stricken people, bathing in the river at the head of which rests a statue of Lord Siva. Water is pouring out of Siva's head and a snake is wrapped around his head as well. Robertson and his son are found in the midst of the scene, observing and mocking the early morning prayers of Hindus. As they witness the scene, they make incorrect reference to the river as "Siva's sperm," and claim that the people "were supposed to wash away their sins in the sperm of the God."
Robertson goes on to characterize Hinduism as having evil tendencies toward random spiritual worship and polytheism. Mr. Robertson's son and fellow evangelist, Gordon, stated disparagingly, "Whenever [Hindus] feel any sort of inspiration, whether it's by a river or under a tree, on top of a hill, they figure that some God or spirit is responsible for that. And so they'll worship that tree, they'll worship that hill or they'll worship anything." What was even more regrettable was Robertson's assertion of some connection between idol worship and the poverty in India. Robertson does not deny his son's claim that "Wherever you find this type of idolatry, you'll find a grinding poverty. The land has been cursed."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->3 comments:
(1) <i>Hinduism Today</i> is confused when it refers to his comments as unchristian. They are very wrong. These comments are typically christian, have always been and always will be. This is what the christians who've studied and accepted the bible believe. Whether they will continue to articulate it in an increasingly PC world is another matter, but they will continue to believe it. The disgusting christocomments about the water and Shiva (as well as the other comments) say more about the morbid teachings of christianity and the low state of mind it induces.
(2) 'idolatry caused the poverty' - sick Pet of gawd has never studied apparently, else he must have failed his courses, else he is lying. India's present poverty is caused by christos (from Britain) stealing and draining everything from the country.
(3) How did this loser make any converts among Indians? He's as racist as one would expect from the teachings of the Southern baptist church. ( http://freetruth.50webs.org/C4b.htm#PatRobertson )
