Pat Robertson: Smack Around Children Who Listen To Metal

posted Apr 17, 2015 at 4:56 PM by xFiruath.  (10 Comments)

Pat Robertson - the conservative Christian icon who just keeps on giving - has decided to speak out against children listening to metal music.

In an episode of his show The 700 Club, he advises a parent to smack her 11 year old son around for listening to music that talks about "the beast within" and "the infection in people."

“It doesn’t hurt to smack a little 11-year-old around a little bit,” he stated, going on to add “Say, you behave, you’re not going to listen to that garbage in my house. If you do I’m going to tear it up and break those records or CD or whatever."

“The little kids wouldn’t do that with me, I promise you,” he said. “Big Daddy’s home! Wham! That's why I have such wonderful children.”

Video of the truly bizarre exchange in which two adults laugh about beating children can be seen below.

Completely agree with comments 2, 5, 6... and 7.

You'd be surprised at how many other Christians think this guy is a whackjob. He's not too far removed from Mr. Phelps' clan.

7: Awww...

8: Not surprised at all tbh, a lot of Christians are perfectly reasonable people. The trick is remembering that any big enough group of people has a few self-important f***heads, and a lot more nice folks.
