Evidently they are compatible - until the New York Times finds out and ruins the fun. :rolleyes:

Pat Robertson to sell horse racing interests

AP) -- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson will sell his sizable horse racing interests because some of his followers objected to his involvement in a sport driven by gambling.

Robertson, whose involvement in thoroughbred horse racing was first detailed by The New York Times, said in a letter that he will sell his interests in the sport by November, when a nearly two-week sale of breeding stock is held at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky.

I have lost any respect that I have for this man, especially because I, until today, watched his show.
On there, in front of the cameras, he was always anti-gambling. During the "Bring it on" Q&A segments, he denounced any and all forms of gambling and said that people should "give offerings" and "tithe" instead, and that God would bless them through the "hundredfold principle."
I guess he does not take his own advice.
What a hypocrite. . .
