America Quote by Pat Robertson
“We're importing Hinduism into America. The whole thought of your karma, of meditation, of the fact that there's no end of life and there's this endless wheel of life, this is all Hinduism. Chanting too. Many of those chants are to Hindu Gods — Vishnu, Hare Krishna. The origin of it is all demonic. We can't let that stuff come into America. We've got the best defense, if you will — a good offense.”

I want the church to move into the world.” quote by Pat Robertson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2cc/pat-robertson-1972_believe_i-believe-that-he-jesus-is-lord-of-the-g_141065.jpg)
