Robertson received an email from a woman who claimed that her grandson disrespects their Christian faith when they visit their daughter on Christmas and chose not to visit this past year.
“We declined going to our daughter’s house on Christmas this year because there is always an argument, hard feelings etc.,” viewer Karen wrote.
“One grandchild comes high on marijuana, cursing and challenging our faith. I correct him and have told my daughter to ask him to respect our beliefs, but he keeps it up. Our daughter say she is a Christian but will drink too much and offend her daughter and her husband. Were we wrong to not to attend another Christmas that leaves us upset or someone angry? I have shared my beliefs many times with them and am ridiculed by this grandson and son-in-law.”
Robertson’s immediate solution? Beat the child until he respects Christianity.
“Somebody take that kid to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline,” Robertson advised before predicting that the kid would end up in prison if a strong male figure didn’t start beating him right away.

Feel that Christian love.
Pat Robertson is the guy who thinks gay people have rings with aids on and a little spike to infect people.
WTF are you doing asking him about raising a child for?
Weellll, seems it is time to re-state my default response to horrible things Pat says:
Fuck you, Pat. I don’t wish death on other people on principle, but the day I will hear that you finally croaked, I will smile.
It makes sense because religion and violence go together. To be religious is to be violent, glorify genocide, solve problems by beating and torture, uphold the virtues of virgin sniffing in cruel and unusual ways and make sure children are traumatized into becoming automatons.
Karen, if you want your grandson to respect your beliefs, perhaps you can start by respecting HIS beliefs, bitch.
Pat Robertson, advocating child abuse is a twisted, sick thing and really doesn't help your case. Why would you think anybody would convert to you if you say such bad things?
Honestly, I certainly wouldn't be sad should someone abuse and beat you so much you develop Stockholm Syndrome. It's what you advocate, don't you?

So granny and grandpa stuff their beliefs down everyone's throats, their grandson disagrees and they object. Also it sounds as if the SiL despises their beliefs.
Now if g'son is high on weed he'll be too big to beat up without him being held down, i.e. criminally assaulted, and SiL doesn't sound as though he'd allow it.
So bigman Pat is just full of shit
Good thing Granny & Grampy aren't raising the kid nor able to implement what Pat's proposing. Daughter & Son-In-Law are the parents and if they agree with the grandson, then the grandparents have to SUCK IT UP & SHUT UP!
Also, the grandson being a foul-mouthed stoner dude sounds like an embellishment.
“Somebody take that kid to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline,”
These days people who take kids to the woodshed usually end up in jail. I'd advise against it
When words are hard to come by and you can't act civil or just make a compromise then here's a tune for you!
"La, la, la, la,
Weaponry
It's the way to get it done,
Weaponry
It's effective and it's fun!
If you want to make them fall on bended knee at your command,
Bow their heads and swear that you're the leader of the land,
State your wishes in a language they all understand
With weaponry
That's the plan!
If power's on your shopping list
Then use the elbow and the fist,
Pummel 'em until they get the gist
Just make an example of
Representative sample of
And most of them will not be missed
..."

If that happened I'd suggest that it's the kid's father that should end up in prison! Child abuse is never acceptable you old, twisted arse, even if the kid doesn't happen to follow your favourite cult.
Fuck you, son of a segregationist . Stop abbetting child abuse! Discipline should not be vindictive but reform-minded.
Please do us a favour and
1. Stop hawking your idiocy on TV,
2. Recant your beliefs, or
3. Die.
I have shared my beliefs many times with them
Ahh, I think we just found the problem. In other words, you visit them, shove your faith down their throats, and get upset when they laugh at you.
"Beat the child until he respects Christianity"
I vote we beat Pat Robertson and give him the "blessings of discipline" until he respects logic, reason, and evolution.
I really hope he's got full control on that show, the meltdown has begun and he's receiving regular press on the increasingly ridiculous advice.
Then again, I thought revealing the stupidity of Donald Trump with increased airtime would destroy him, I really underestimated the appetite for bullshit the American viewing public has.
Maybe Robertson is cagey here and knows he has to compete with the rampant retardism of Duck Dynasty, Honey Boo Boo and shit like Trump.
Right, if he doesn't beat them harder. For me, the solution that the grandparents took was far more reasonable, although they should understand that not everybody agrees with them.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
