Pat Robertson suggests woman's atheism was caused by rape or abuse

March 25

Well, this is certainly a theory we hadn’t considered. Pat Robertson speculated on his show Monday that an atheist woman didn’t believe in God because she had been abused by her father or raped.

Because that’s the only reason someone wouldn’t believe in God, right?

A viewer named Sandra wrote to the televangelist to complain that a co-worker gets “openly hostile at the mere mention of God” when she tries to talk about Jesus with her.

“Should I abandon the idea of being a positive influence on her and just let her perish?” Sandra asked.
