Pat Roberston was the son of a Senator from Virginia, I can't remember his first name, who served in the Senate in the shadow of Harry Byrd.   I lived in Portsmouth when Robertson began his Christian network and when Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker began their so-called ministry there. It was interesting to watch the growth of that television ministry.   While they did not practice Christianity in the manner that I was accustomed I could accept the diversity within the faith. I do feel that Robertson and many of the TV, radio and traveling evangelists have gone too far, and that some of the lot are no more than thieves. What I do not understand is why people who attempt to be fair in their approach to all other aspects of life would choose to assess Christianity solely by the worst of its representatives and by those who are clearly charlatans and not representative at all. I know of many communities that are far better for the presences of Christians who do not go around proclaiming all the good they do.
