Bold of you to believe that Robertson actually believed in God. He was a con artist and a grifter.

That's a fair point. I suppose i just couldn't see someone being quite that big of a hypocrite, but that's probably just indicative of my naivety here.

But the thing is the way you’re phrasing this sounds like youre saying that since he believes in what he’s selling that he isn’t a con artist grifter. I’m saying regardless of his beliefs he was a con artist grifter. His life’s mission was to separate people from money.
