Pat Robertson is openly calling for replacing the Constitution with the Bible as the law of the land.
In the Constitution, you will not find any reference to the Bible whatsoever. No mention of Jesus, God, the disciples, prophets, Satan, angels, demons, Christianity, or even of the book itself. The only mention of religion in the document states that we the people have the freedom to practice whatever religion we choose and prohibits the government from establishing a state sponsored religion.
For over 220 years, the Constitution had been the foundation of our government and legal system. But ever since the Constitution became the law of the land, religious fundamentalists have tried time and time again to shred it in favor of biblical law. In the last 70 years alone, conservative “Christians” have made every effort to turn America from a religiously neutral nation of laws into a theocracy.
They have never been closer to achieving their dangerous and destructive goal than they are at this moment. And now Pat Robertson is openly calling for replacing the Constitution with the Bible.
During his 700 Club program on Monday, Robertson claimed that freedom will be lost if Americans don’t accept biblical law right now. He also claimed that biblical law has always been the foundation of the United States.
“This country was raised as honoring the Bible, how far have we come now where we have allowed a few atheists to destroy the very foundations of our culture and we’re in danger of losing all of our freedom because our freedom rests, ladies and gentlemen, rests on the word of God,” Robertson said.
Robertson said God is why we have rights and why we have justice and that now accepting the Bible as the law would amount to giving up our freedom and guaranteeing injustice. He then claimed America would transform into a brutal dictatorship unless we trash the Constitution and surrender to biblical law.
“You take away the Bible and you have the Nazis and you have the Communists and you have the dictators and you have evil rampant. America is still a Christian country but is far, far, far away from where it used to be,” Robertson concluded.

Once again, Pat Robertson and those who agree with him need to be reminded about the true history of early America.
As previously mentioned, if the Founding Fathers intended America to be a Christian nation governed by biblical law, one would think they would have repeatedly enshrined such an intention in the Constitution itself. But they didn’t. Instead, religion is mentioned in general and the government is specifically BANNED from establishing a state religion. Therefore, Christianity and biblical law cannot replace the Constitution. Only the Constitution is the law of the land. Any attempt to subvert the Constitution is treason.
In addition, the Founding Fathers left behind their own words as proof that religion and government should be totally separate. Chief among them is James Madison, the Father of the Constitution. He himself specifically stated that separation of church and state is a main principle of the Constitution. You can read his words and the words of multiple founders by clicking here.
If conservatives are still on the fence at this point, it might be worth pointing out that even conservative icon Barry Goldwater opposed biblical law and con artists like Pat Robertson who push for it. To read his views, just click here.
The fact is, the reason we have the Constitution and separation of church and state is because of the bloodshed and strife caused by European nations that were controlled by religion. Biblical law has been tried before in human history. It has only resulted in tyranny, persecution, and death. This is why we have a Constitution that protects the religious freedom of all people and forbids the intermingling of religion and government. That’s why biblical law has NEVER been the law in this country.

His rhetoric reminds me directly of the rhetoric that ignited and fueled the genocide in Rwanda. It is beyond evil and dangerous. Weak minds that listen to this are manipulated and they don't even know it; they don't operate on the basis of reason, justice or truth.
Hell to the f–king no.
Religious leaders have been trying to control everyone with their own selfish beliefs for years,
and we barely have any freedom left as is because of trump.
Don't put the goddamn icing on the cake!
~ The Separation Of Church And Hate:
There is a good reason why Church and State must always remain separate. Let’s get something straight, right from the start: A theocratic state is not a free state, and never will be. I’m sure it was never Jesus’ intention nor was it His will that anyone should be dominated in His name, the name of Christ. That is the will of men. To be accurate, the concept in itself is anti-Christian. You can only follow Christ by choice, not by legislation.
It seems some people are more intent on casting stones at perceived sinners than propagating the love of Christ. ~ “Above all else, I command you love one another”. ~ This was the message that Jesus preached, and as far as I can see, the worth of a soul will only be measured as such. But I can assure you of one thing, when your time of judgment comes, you won’t be asked to recite scripture, but rather, if anything, the question will be: Did you get the message and live by it?
For all of you people out there on the religious right, you should try to remember that looking for sins to condemn, and people to persecute in the name of God, is simply Satan’s way of keeping you from seeing what is good and praiseworthy. It’s Satan’s favorite means of deceit; getting people to hate and kill each other in the name of God and Christ Jesus. Twisting scripture to incite hatred and division.
Understand this; that by doing so, you are defaming the name of Christ, associating Jesus with bigotry and hate. Jesus was never cursed with these feelings, these sins that you commit in His name. It’s widely agreed that He rose above it all, and to use His name for the justification of spreading contempt and hatred for anyone is true heresy. It isn’t Pro-Christ by any means, but clearly Anti-Christ.
*******************************************************************
~ It doesn't really seem to matter at this point if you believe in God and Christ or not. What we have are Anti-Christians, the antithesis of the persona Jesus, and they are attempting, through legislation, to declare America to be a theocratic state and nation, legitimizing discrimination under the false guise of "religious freedom". If you're not one of the "chosen" you're fair game for persecution, oppression and abuse. It’s a perfect "us" and "them" scenario. If you express opposing views to the “Order” or you're a non-believer, or in any way perceived as a “sinner”, they'll be coming for you.
~ Anti-Christians ~ The scriptures flow as sweet as honey from their lips, seducing and robbing in the name of God. These are the ones Jesus spoke of that would come in the End Times and deceive many in His name. Anti-Christians: You will know them by their bigotry, their hatred, and their contempt for “others”.
Thank You! GREAT COMMENT!
Pat Robertson is a fundamentalist who – under the U.S. Constitution – has the right to whatever religious beliefs he wishes to have. But he does NOT have the right to impose his religious beliefs on me or any other American who does not agree with him. I do NOT agree with him or his church. This country is a republic, NOT a theocracy. Damn all these religious zealots who think that now they have an ultra-conservative in the White House they can force the rest of the people in this country to obey THEIR religious tenets rather than the laws of the land as they now stand. We will fight this!

Pat Robertson is only concerned about MONEY. He's supported and lobbied on behalf of a butcher/war criminal in order to secure his (Robertson's) gold mineral rights. A hypocrite is what he is. Doesn't care about human rights.
