Robertson opined that homosexuality was considered to be a pathology only a few years ago, and now LGBT people were the oppressors of religious people.
What is it about gays, what is it about abortion? he asked. Both of them deny the reproduction of human species.
Its as if the devil is saying, Im going to destroy your progeny any way I can, and if you will kill your baby, thats fine. Im with you. If you will deny the chance of having babies, thats fine too, but I want to destroy your opportunities to reproduce, Robertson continued. As a society, we need to realize where the attack is coming, because it is definitely an attack.
Jesus said, I came to give life, and the devil wants to steal, kill and destroy, co-host Wendy Griffith agreed.

How many gays has Pat Robertson shared cake with?
How many gays were in the crowd when Jesus shared loaves and fishes?

(13,992 posts)The APA declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973. That would be 40 years ago, and by then just about nobody in the profession believed such preposterous nonsense.
And I think it curious that Roberts believes that the one person in the entire Bible who is documented as having PREVENTED a crowd from stoning a person, would be the person who would be out stoning gays. And I think it further curious that Robertson apparently believes that stoning gays is acceptable behavior (Hey, if Jesus would do it....) but also believes that gays are persecuting Christians.
Has there been a rash of Christian-stoning in the news that I missed?

(450 posts)Throughout the new testament Jesus meets and helps sinners. If he was so into stoning people why didn't he and his disciples stone Mary Magadelne, the Samaritan woman at the well, the sick and blind instead of offering them the grace of God? I'm sure if he was into stoning homosexuals while he was traveling around he could of found a couple and had the disciples stone them to death.

Guess what also "happened in Jesus' time"? They killed Jesus for one thing.

(15,383 posts)Let's all agree that Jesus would do the nicest thing possible but in the meanest way. So he would bake the gays a wedding cake, but he would then "stone" them with it by throwing it at them.
I base this idea on the following comic

He is living proof that "God" does not exist.
If he did exist, he would have hit Pat Robertson with a bolt of lightening years ago.

Actually, I thank Robertson. People like him prove every day that the whole concept of Jesus the Christ is a big fat lie.
The more people understand it's a lie, the better.
Behind the Aegis
(53,959 posts)I mean, the number of passages where Jesus condemns gays are oh so numerous as not to even need to mention them, but I shall anyway.
Jesus speaks out about homosexuality:
Oh, Pat! I am sorry. I let you down. Seems in all the quotes from Jesus I could find, not ONE, not a SINGLE FUCKING PASSAGE refers to homosexuality. But I did find this:
"He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
John 8: 7
So, by using your logic, I am guessing Jesus would rather stone you to death, then bake you a cake.
Oh shit!
Pat, squint real hard, can you hear that voice...it isn't G-d or Jesus, it is Fred Phelps screaming "Repent, you fool! Jesus hates FIGS!" You better repent, Pat, or I bet I know who your roommate downstairs will be!

(37,160 posts)They may think they're not, because they've pasted the nameplate "Jesus" onto whatever it is that they worship, but it's not the guy who talked about the Gay Samaritan.
If they did they'd understand that calling it "the Gay Samaritan" reflects precisely the point Jesus was trying to teach.
And they wouldn't need an atheist to explain it to them.
