Talk:Pat Robertson

This sentence makes no sense

The following sentence (n.53) makes no sense: 'Robertson added that Jerusalem is a "spiritual symbol that must not be given away" because "Jesus Christ the Messiah will come down to the part of Jerusalem that the Arabs want," and this would be "not good."' As it stands, it alleges that PR is opposed to the Second Coming happening at Jerusalem. Can you Wikipeople write English? 145.224.21.211 (talk) 01:07, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

You could have made your point just fine without adding insults to it. Please review the civility policy. ButlerBlog (talk) 01:18, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

I do not see anything particularly wrong with that sentence in the article. The text (quote and all) is taken almost exactly from the referenced source. There are not many ways to summarize what Robertson said. Any better phrasing would only come after finding a better source than what was used and one which had the full text of Robertson's remarks. Whether the text of the article "alleges that PR is opposed to the Second Coming happening at Jerusalem" (your statement) appears to be your conclusion, not necessarily that of Robertson, nor that of the WP article writer. The reader can determine for himself what Robertson might have meant by his remarks. --L.Smithfield (talk) 06:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hypocrisy on Sex Before Marriage

Despite being a stalwart against sex before marriage Robertson married his wife six months after impregnating her, lied about it and worse. This should very definitely be added to the Family and relationships section. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1987/10/09/no-big-deal-for-robertson/09870d6b-2a44-4d14-8438-cb101c2ce1c3/ 2404:440C:27BF:7338:E9A2:8A9F:B60F:8491 (talk) 10:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2025

Please add that Pat Robertson won the 2008 Super Sage Award for having the closest prediction out of 100 celebrities in the 2008 Scripps Howard Celebrity Super Bowl Poll. He [1] accepted the award on The 700 Club. 2600:4040:2DB0:9A00:3873:7BCB:916C:614C (talk) 19:37, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

File:X mark.svg Not done: Being the winner of a celebrity Super Bowl prediction contest is far too trivial to warrant inclusion in the article. Day Creature (talk) 07:38, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

It actually wasn't trivial at all. The Scripps Howard Celebrity Super Bowl Poll was something hundreds of celebrities participated in every year from 1986-2013. And Robertson joined notables like Arnold Palmer, Penn & Teller and Bob Weir by winning the Super Sage Award, as noted here: ScrippsNews He thought it was important enough for him to receive the award on his TV show. This page has plenty of information --- good and bad --- about him. Adding this information would showcase another side of him for the readers. 2600:4040:2DB0:9A00:786A:5790:7C9:DEAC (talk) 20:31, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

File:X mark.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the Template:Tlx template. M.Bitton (talk) 00:46, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi --- was the request for consensus directed to me or Day Creature? If toward me, could you please let me know how consensus is typically reached before making an edit? I'm not an active Wikipedia user. I only used the semi-protected template because that appeared to be the only way I could add the item to this page. Thank you. 96.241.233.167 (talk) 03:40, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

I'd like to add information to Mr. Robertson's page about him winning the Scripps Howard Super Sage Award, as it shows a side of him that few people are familiar with. Day Creature disagrees. What is the next step to resolve this? Thank you 2600:4040:2DB0:9A00:A52E:DE4C:1210:FB30 (talk) 12:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
