Pat Robertson tells a woman that she needs to tithe more in order to solve her husband's medical issues, NOT spend that money getting medical treatment.
I know the man is a fossil and that some attribute these more scandalous responses to dementia, but I disagree. What Robertson is espousing is essentially faith healing, which states in an authoritarian fashion that the advancements made in medical research by man are inspired by Satan and the only way to true healing and salvation is by reaching out to God.
And for a televangelist like Pat Robertson that reaching out takes the form of demanding that they give him their money.
In my opinion this kind of scam should be against the law, and it would be, if it were not cloaked in the camouflage of Christianity.
