Now how far you do think I have to dig into a person’s everyday life to find something they’re equally guilty of, in that capacity?

The fact that you know you'd have to dig should illustrate an important difference to you, but also just a hilarious assumption that everyone is as wildly hypocritical as Pat Robinson.

You didn't though, you just made up a silly comparison.

I got that you think being an average consumer is morally equivalent to being a televangelist that blamed 9/11 on gay people. What other funny comparisons like that can you make?

Everyone is a hypocrite at some point, most people don't make a global enterprise of it though. Are you unclear on how that distinction matters?

So besides owning any electronic device what are some other examples of common moral failings that you think equate to Robinson's hateful career? Driving a car?
