It was just a couple of months ago that Pat Robertson surprised us all by seemingly sympathizing with trans people by saying, “I don’t understand all that, but I think there are men who are in a woman’s body. It’s very rare, but it’s true. [snip] I don’t think there’s any sin associated with that. [Having gender reassignment surgery.] I …

RELATED: Robertson is still selling his Age-Defying Energy Shake, which he claims enabled him (in 2006 at the age of 76) to leg press 2000 pounds, which is at least 500 pounds more than the world record.

In today’s “Bring It Online” segment on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson fielded an email from an elderly woman who is living on Social Security and wonders if it would be a sin to stop tithing in order to help pay her sick husband’s medical bills. Robertson responded: “Read carefully what the bible has to say in Malachi. He says, …

Clip recap: “Bob Larson and the Teenage Exorcists went to London recently, and encountered many demons of witchcraft. Beth had a curse going back 17 generations to Freemasonry. Watch as the Teenage Exorcists take over and tell the demon where to go!” Acting! The bit at 1:45 is especially funny.

“Dear Joe, Will you please send a one-time emergency contribution of $35 or $25? I know that’s asking a lot, but the stakes are higher than ever before. That’s because I must raise $125,242 in the next two weeks to organize a massive lobbying campaign and mobilize over 500,000 more pro-Family activists like you to fight these evil bills. If …

Pat Robertson’s Operation Blessings “charity” is threatening to sue the filmmakers behind Mission Congo, a documentary which claims that the charity scammed millions intended for African relief. In an email Thursday, Chris Roslan, a spokesman for Operation Blessing, said allegations in the production company’s film promotion and the listing in the film festival website were false and defamatory and, “We …

From the Guardian: Mission Congo, by David Turner and Lara Zizic, opens at the Toronto film festival on Friday. It describes how claims about the scale of aid to Rwandan refugees were among a number of exaggerated or false assertions about the activities of Operation Blessing which pulls in hundreds of millions of dollars a year in donations, much of …

Back in May crackpot Eugene Delgaudio posted a video in which he displayed suspiciously light boxes which he claimed contained one million petition signatures against the “Homosexual Classrooms Act” (or as the rest of the world calls it, the Student Non-Discrimination Act).  Today’s he’s back with the same scam, but this time it’s about ENDA. Dear Joe, The Gay Bill …

“Dear Joe,  The nominations of homosexual activists Todd Hughes to the U.S. Court of Appeals and James ‘Wally’ Brewster as the ambassador to the Dominican Republic are both fraught with dangerous implications. Hughes would almost certainly overturn any pro-Family legislation if installed as a judge on the Appeals Court. And the majority-Christian Dominican Republic has been outraged and offended by …

Clip description: Sick of taking responsibility for the shitty things that have happened to you in your life? Help is on the way, in the virginal and strangely vacant form of three bible-thumping teenage exorcists from Phoenix, Arizona. Eighteen-year-old Brynne Larson and her friends Tess and Savannah Sherkenback (18 and 21, respectively) claim to be able to confront the demons …

Start at the 8:00 mark when the demon appears. Acting!

Jezebel! Courtney had a demon with an attitude — and a cocky one at that — Jezebel was back! Courtney had watched Bob Larson help other people on YouTube — so she knew she had to come to the seminar! During the deliverance, Courtney, with tears in her eyes, yelled out to the audience, “Mom, don’t cry!” Jezebel didn’t want …

I’ll admit that I occasionally watch Peter Popoff’s infomercials because he is the most shameless huckster of magical healing potions in all of Christian television. (And that is saying something.) In 1987 Popoff went bankrupt after famed skeptic James Randi (who came out in 2010) exposed his scam of wearing a tiny earpiece so that his wife could feed him …

This time he reminds us that we should be stoned to death.

Aztec demons this time! Ara knew she had demons. It turns out that five generations ago, one of her ancestors was involved in a human sacrifice. Bob calls up the generational alter who was part of the sacrifice. Behind all of this was the demon of Lucifer — and with Bob’s help, Lucifer had to leave for good!

Coming to Oxygen this fall: Preachers of L.A. gives a candid and revealing look at six boldly different and world renowned mega-pastors in Southern California, who are willing to share diverse aspects of their lives, from their work in the community and with their parishioners to the very large and sometimes provocative lives they lead away from the pulpit.
