“Sometimes, I think evangelicals come at people so hard and so fast and don’t take time to listen to where somebody is. We can just try to have a lighter touch sometimes.”

“I’m not exactly for the use of drugs—don’t get me wrong—but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, … it’s costing us a fortune, and it’s ruining young people. Young people go into prisons, they go in as youths, and they come out as hardened criminals. And that’s not a good thing.”
Pat Robertson
Evangelical broadcaster (700 Club/RNS)
“When people make Christ their King each day, they join the awakening. When they make him their Sunday hobby, they miss the power and joy of Jesus.”
