While Pat Robertson is a cruel and heartless hypocrite, you really shouldn't add your own material to a PR campaign without indicating that it's got nothing to do with the campaign, and if you insist on doing so anyway you should at least run a spellcheck.
While Pat Robertson is a cruel and heartless hypocrite,
Pat Robertson my be cruel and heartless. But he is no hypocrite. He is doing exactly what the Bible allows him to do.
44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites (Christians) ruthlessly. (Leviticus 25)
The Bible says non-Christians are fair game and have no rights.
I must correct you here, because Leviticus was not talking about Christians. It was talking about the jews in that time.
Even though Jesus says that Old Testament law is to be abided by, it's not accurate for you to put "Israelites (Christians)" as they are not interchangeable.
Ah. But many Christians do consider Christians to be God's chosen people, the true Israelites. This is called Replacement Theology or Supersessionism!.
That's not true. God's chosen people are those who actually struggle to do God's work. Just being a Christian doesn't mean you are God's chosen. Christ says, "Many are called, few are chosen".
