Pat Robertson - His view on vegetables and human slavery to them

Last edited Fri Jul 17, 2020, 11:27 PM - Edit history (1)

On the Sean Hannity show:

"All this drug addiction, can you imagine somebody made in the image of God is a slave to a bunch of weeds? I mean, you know, they're plants and vegetables. Cocaine, marijuana, all these things are vegetables, and we're supposed to be in charge. He said I'm going to give you dominion over the whole earth, and yet we're slaves to vegetables. I mean, this is so humiliating."

I was ALWAYS suspicious of my relationship to Lima Beans and I won't even get into cabbage . The devil and I wrestling with that veggie under the sheets - even the cat can't stand it

Of course only if Smoked Pork products are involved.

So maybe I’m under the sway of swine.

I have decided to relax and enjoy the problem.

By adding bacon.

For the large ones, not just bacon, but molasses and ketchup.
