Pat Robertson: "Racial Suicide"
This is what it amounts to, among the white evangelicals: race.
There is no such thing as “racial suicide,” except in the twisted minds of discredited eugenicists and the unreconstructed supporters of racial superiority. Robertson yanked the covers on his own movement.

Robertson: Europe committing "racial suicide"
Summary: Pat Robertson said, "Europe is right now in the midst of racial suicide because of the declining birth rate."
During the February 6 edition of Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) The 700 Club, host Pat Robertson said that "Europe is right now in the midst of racial suicide because of the declining birth rate." Robertson blamed the declining birth rate on the existential philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, which, according to Robertson, "has permeated the intellectual thinking of Europe" and has left Europeans without "a faith in the future."
From the February 6 edition of CBN's The 700 Club:
ROBERTSON: Studies that I have read indicate that having babies is a sign of a faith in the future. You know, unless you believe in the future, you're not going to take the trouble of raising a child, educating a child, doing something. If there is no future, why do it? Well, unless you believe in God, there's really no future. And when you go back to the existentialism of Jean-Paul Sartre, the whole idea of this desperate nightmare we are in -- you know, that we are in this prison, and it has no hope, no exit. That kind of philosophy has permeated the intellectual thinking of Europe, and hopefully it doesn't come here. But nevertheless, ladies and gentlemen, Europe is right now in the midst of racial suicide because of the declining birth rate. And they just can't get it together. Why? There's no hope.
