Speaking the truth in love, according to Pat Robertson, is the best way to deal with someone who just doesn’t want to be proselytized, but maybe, just maybe, the person is rejecting Jesus because of deeper reasons.
The 700 Club host tossed out that the person asking for advice might be dealing with something that’s demonic or … “It’s something beyond normal human experience, something has happened and she associates God—maybe she had an abusive father, somebody who raped her and then acted like he was preaching to her from the Bible …”
Yeah, maybe that happened.

Pat Robertson has been a horse’s ass for decades. He’s also one of the most bigoted hypocrites on Earth.
The real question is why do some people get hostile at the mention of God? There generally is some negative association with God or with Christians. It goes deeper.
It could be that the deity described in most religious texts is a petty, homicidal, psychopath, and that so many find those traits to be worthy of worship. Of course I’m just spitballin’ here…
Maybe they were traumatized by sociopaths like Pat Robertson.
Doug,
People get hostile at the mention of God because of the behavior exhibited by his followers.
