Robertson: Christians Should Oppose Occupy Wall Street
On The 700 Club today, Pat Robertson told a questioner that Christians should not be involved in the economic justice movement Occupy Wall Street. Robertson dubbed the protests “atavistic” and a “rebellion” with “no purpose” behind it. The televangelist even warned that the movement “could be used for radicals who want to destroy this nation.” While Occupy Wall Street tackles issues of inequality and avarice in the financial system, Robertson alleged that it has nothing to do with Christian virtues of righteousness and fighting oppression.
This wouldn’t be the first time Robertson chastised Occupy Wall Street. He previously called the protestors “nuts” and “clowns” who are being used by President Obama to “revolt.” Despite Robertson’s claims, many people of faith have joined and praised Occupy Wall Street and denounced “Wall Street’s reckless greed.”
