- 5 years ago
Televangelist Pat Robertson said Tuesday that the death of a 3-year-old wasn’t a “bad thing” because he could have grown up to be the next Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin.
Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and Regent University, made his comments in response to a person who had called into his television show, "The 700 Club." The caller wanted help consoling a coworker who asked why God had let her baby die.
“In the Old Testament it was like God’s responsible for everything,” Robertson said. “He brings out the bad. He brings out the good. He’s responsible for everything.”
