On yesterday’s episode of The 700 Club, a viewer asked Pat Robertson whether she should invite certain atheist family members to her Christian wedding.

Robertson said she should invite them… but offered a strange caveat.

Well, what’s the big deal of inviting some family members to your wedding? I mean, you know, let ’em come to your wedding and see what’s there. But you don’t want them bringing Satanism into your wedding or some occult incantation. So by all means invite your family.

Instead of pointing out that atheists don’t believe in Satan (or perform any kind of incantations), his co-host chimed in with the suggestion that those atheists might even be saved at the wedding.

Because atheists always find God in the middle of a religious ritual…

Here’s some better advice to the viewer: Invite your family to the wedding as long as they’re not the kind of people who will complain out loud about the religious ceremony. If they can’t handle the faith-based aspect of it, they don’t have to come. It’s that simple.
