COMMENTS: 
*  Here's something that I really have noticed about Pat Robertson (and many of the republican presidential candidates) They are using the logic fallacy of Proctor Hoc...as in this:  A: The stock market got beat up yesterday while,  B: Abortions are legal in the US (despite unconstitutional laws to limit) which leads to,  C: Ergo Abortions caused the stock market to lose about 580 points yesterday.  Though...I could have replaced B with President Obama, and the same result would have happened.
    *  ... the sturm und drang of the homophobes has gone quiet. It must have sunk in that with nobody supporting them except themselves, that beating on the Bible wasn't doing anything except making them look stupid.  It may have also occurred to them that pushing the issue--which had narrowed itself down to a handful of verses from the Bible---the way they were doing just might end up in a successful campaign to repeal the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The First Amendment prohibits basing public policy on religious doctrine.
   *  your use of the logical fallacy is correct. but it's Propter hoc, not Proctor. The full latin phrase is "Post hoc ergo propter hoc" After that, therefore because of that.  I hear the same s//t from people saying school shootings is the result of taking god out of school
*  Why does anyone listen to Pat Robertson? He certainly has dementia with his comments on anything.
*  These false prophets are now funny to the Heavens . The Angels are not pisse-d off at them anymore, they are rolling over laughing at these guys . Pat Robertson, Joel Osteen and Mike Huckabee. There is no longer anger in the Heavens only laughter
*   I kept track of his prophecies over the years,(my mom was caught up with him), and none of them ever came true. He is a false prophet and teacher. He is a false teacher and prophet!  None of his prophesies never came true and by biblical standards, he's a false prophet and a con artist.

Why Pat Robertson's Market Bluster Matters
By Jonathan Bernstein, August 25, 2015

It was easy to mock Pat Robertson's assertion that abortion was to blame for Monday's stock market dive (via Political Wire). But what he didn't say signaled something serious and important.

If Robertson and other Christian conservatives are obsessing about abortion and Planned Parenthood as the most urgent abomination perpetrated by the U.S., it means they aren't obsessing about marriage -- only eight weeks since the U.S. Supreme Court decided the constitutional question in favor of equality.

Of course, many people still oppose same-sex marriage, and I wouldn’t make too much of just this one example -- except that it fits in with a more widespread collapse of the active opposition to marriage equality. 

True, most Republican presidential candidates express their opposition to it when asked, and we’ve seen a handful of clerks try to hold out.

But no one is threatening to shut down the government over it. No one is pushing to impeach any of the justices who voted for it, and few in Congress are talking about a constitutional amendment to overturn what the court said.

The issue isn't featured prominently on the Republican candidates’ websites, either. Mike Huckabee mentions it after abortion, although only abortion gets the boldfaced treatment. The story is similar for Rick Santorum. If same-sex marriage is somewhere on Ben Carson’s site, I couldn’t find it. And the candidates who are less focused on placating religious conservatives have backed off even more. 

In other words, what we're seeing is less "massive resistance" and more find-a-way-not-to-offend-anyone-on-either-side, just-forget-about-the-whole-thing type of nonresistance. As expected, this fight is over.
