700 Club's Pat Robertson: Forgive Your Husband for Cheating With Another Man, But Send Your Lesbian Daughter to Christian Boot Camp!

Viewers of CBN’s “700 Club” were treated to a recent “Bring It On” segment, where Pat Robertson was asked a question by a viewer named Caroline about her cheating husband: “My husband and I are Christians and have been together for 11 years. Recently I found out he cheated on me with a male Christian friend in our Church. He says it was a mistake, that it just happened while they were drunk, and he wants me to forgive him. I don’t know if I can. What should I do?"

This was the advice:

Pat Robertson: They’ve been married for 11 years. This guy got drunk. 

Co-Host: But with a male friend from church. That’s kind of strange. 

Pat Robertson: He didn’t know what he was dealing with. She says, ‘should I forgive?’ Of course, you should. If he were this way all the time, if he’s a habitual drunk, if he’s a habitual homosexual, a habitual philanderer and all the rest of it, then by all means take a hike. But one time… Eleven years… Don’t throw all that away. 

His patience for homosexual experimentation didn’t last. A woman named Lillian asked: "I’ve been having issues with my daughter lately. She’s always been a good Christian and regularly attended church and gone on mission trips with her youth group, but recently she “came out of the closet” and introduced me to her “girlfriend.” I’ve tried to talk her out of it, but she simply refuses to give up the LGBT lifestyle. What should I do?"

 His advice?:

Pat Robertson: I tell you you ought to pray very hard. Just tell her that you don’t approve of it. Let her know that she’s not following the commands of the Lord. And pray that God will straighten her out. It may be a phase that she’s going through. I mean, a little teenage girl doesn’t know what dress she’s supposed to wear, much less what sex she’s supposed to be. 

 Co-Host: Plus there’s so much in our culture today. 

Pat Robertson: There’s so much pressure. There’s so much lesbian stuff! Lesbian this, and lesbians the other. So much homosexual… The media is pushing this as hard as they can possibly push it. But you might… I don’t know what to do except maybe get her into a camp… a Christian camp where they’re really on fire for the Lord and she’ll straighten things out.
