Phil Robertson Suspended from Duck Dynasty for "Anti-Gay" Remarks

[Spirit]

I think he is full of it. On the off chance that he actually saw that, the link shows why his view that everything was just fine during that time is bs.

 

He stated what he himself saw and experienced.  I don't see anywhere in his quote where he then expounded to say, "Therefore, based upon my own personal experiences, I believe that that everything was just fine during that time."  

 

But hey ... maybe I missed that part of the quote and you can point it out to us.

[CaliAngel]

No, Geoff, I don't think you missed anything. 

 

It's just people taking words out of context and manipulating them to fit their own agenda, to spread hate and lies about people they don't agree with.

 

Real progressive humanitarian stuff that guys like you and me just wouldn't understand. 

[tdawg87]

I heard the guy who wrote the Bible was an assbirth.

So who is spreading hate and lies here? I don't think it's the people who think Robertson is an ass.

[Vladfan]

 So Phil, is doing the interview which is being done to promote the show and makes comments that are against rules in their contract.

 

 

 

 

 All major companies have very detailed guidelines on things you can and can't say when representing them.

 

Sooooo....you know what their contract says???

 

Does A&E tell them what to say when they go to churches around the country to speak??

[Sully151]

His comments about black people enjoying segregation are awful.

That settles it...

You are quoting an editorial as proof? LOL

[Caralho]

Take a look at the link. 

“Women with women, men with men, they committed indecent acts with one another, and they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversions,” Robertson said. “They’re full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant, God-haters. They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil. That’s what you have 235 years, roughly, after your forefathers founded the country.”

He is quoting scripture Rob.  New Testament Scripture.

[Adam]

In One America it is wrong to share opinions and beliefs.

In Another America it is wrong to disagree with my opinions and beliefs. 

 

Well done Mr. Barro.

Where does it say in the New Testament even part of this quote? â€œThey’re full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant, God-haters. They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil. That’s what you have 235 years, roughly, after your forefathers founded the country.”

The guy sounds like an asshole. 

[Adam]

This country is so awesome. You can make a living attacking those who express their views, whatever they may be, by expressing your views, whatever they may be.

He was comparing modern day America to Paul's description of the Church in Rome in his day.

Romans 1

 

He paraphrased a bit,

 

 

²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹ they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

 

He obviously added the part about the 250 years after quoting the scripture. 

[Spirit]

I guess Rob has put the whole segregation thing to bed now and is just focusing on the gay stuff.

hard to argue this.

Challenging MT to a bible quoting contest is probably a losing battle.

[Caralho]

So he's using Scripture to be an asshole. Good for him, I guess.

Do you think that people who are gay deserve to die like Scripture says? That they are full of murder and deceit and malice? 

[VariousCrap]

Was he?  Are you sure?  Was he maybe doing the interview to promote his duck calls?  Or maybe to for another reason altogether? 

 

From their side, did GQ want the interview just to sell mags? 

 

 

 

You are either an idiot or this is the best troll job I've seen in some time.
