    Whining about others love lives isn't masculine. If whining was a turn-on, then Ray Barone would be the sexiest man alive (as if that'd ever happen).

    What people do in their own bedrooms is between them, and doesn't effect me - so why should I gossip about it? When gay activist try to impose political correctness on others for offending them is where I get pissed off - but honestly whether Ned and Ted are banging each other in the butt right now somewhere 3,000 miles away from me doesn't make me lose an ounce of sleep. I'm not that interested in other men's anuses or what they put in them, so I have better things to do than whine about it

    Murder is killing...get a grip. Some Bibles state one, some the other. Really petty!!! Unbelievably so.

    So while he says his beliefs tell him that homosexuality is wrong, he also says that he treats everyone equally. Isn't that the definition of tolerance?

    Robertson doesn't care, the hit show is him and his family. A&E really has nothing to do with their success.

    I would be interested to see the contract, I can imagine Netflix coming to them and offering a sweet deal as long as they can get around any non compete type documentation.

    So you are upset at A&E and GLAAD then correct?

    This is a prime example of "gay activists try to impose political correctness on others..."

    So you are on the side of Robertson here? Or are you also trying to impose political correctness on him?

    That is besides the point. Name calling and insults are not necessary or used if you really want to debate.
    You should apologize.

    Thats what the Christians say about their religion.

    You don't want marriage. Marriage exists in every state. You want the government to accept your idea of marriage based on nothing but your fairy tale beliefs. We don't make laws based on your fairy tale beliefs.

    You seem to hate reading in context; hence, your comments are just mindless babble. Even on the spelling for millennia, millenniums is a plural option.

    I don't care one way or another about A&E since they're a business and they can do whatever's in their best interest

    I don't like GLAAD since they're an activist group obsessed with 'blackballing' everyone who they think are a homophobe


    But I find gay-obsessed people who just idly bash gays or rant about how 'icky' gay butt sex is stupid.
    Well some here are trying to derail this into a discussion about 'how God hates gay sex' and pointless stuff like that - no one's forcing anyone to 'like homosexuality', but railing on about just how icky you think homosexuality is is pointless, and doesn't do anything other than damage the Republican party and right-wingers in general

    Homosexuality is a personal issue. I don't care if anyone 'likes gay sex' or not, but when it comes to politics, mind your own business. Or if you're someone who really believes that 'stopping gay people from having gay sex' is a serious national issue, that's going to result in floods, earthquakes, and WWIII - then move to Saudi Arabia, and stop destroying the Republican party

    “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 truthless. They invent ways of doing evil.”

    Who does all these things? People or just gays in particular?

    You just proved you're lashing out blindly. You're not responding to a poster who has spoken with you before on this subject. My comment was offered to illustrate that you're frothing yourself up with misplaced hatred for someone by characterizing them as someone they are not.

    Which is entirely stupid, and does a disservice to those who truly condemn the actions of asshats like Westboro and Phelps.

    It seems to me that all you're doing is expressing unfocused hatred yourself.

    Not sure why you're on this thread then.

    Gays aren't forcing us to like homosexuality, they are forcing silence from those who disapprove on whatever grounds. They don't want discussion, they want whoever speaks out GONE forever. See the difference?

    Sinners. The man is expressing his personal religious belief of the behaviour of sinners, and the degradation which sin creates.

    This country is largely based upon the notion that such expressions - and they are core expressions found throughout our history - are to be free from persecution.

    I don't see any difference in any perception of bigotry on either side - except to say that the Christian side is the side instructed to love the sinner and hate the sin.

    I see no such wise nuance on your side.

    I support people's 'rights' to say what they want, as in I oppose the silly 'hate speech' laws that some liberals want to impose regarding homophobia and whatnot. At the same time being an outright homophobe probably isn't a smart move if you're representing a business, since their first interest is in what's best for their ratings. If they felt their ratings would take a hit then it might've been in their best interest to fire him - that's the price anyone pays if they say something stupid

    I don't quite understand what or whom you are referring to?
    Who is being characterized as someone he is not?

    Don't tell me that Phil is being characterized WRONGLY as a bigot, who doesn't approve of either Black people or Gays and doesn't consider either of of those groups as "worthy" of equal civil rights!

    There is PLENTY of video taping and comments that show that he is a bigot and considers his negative interpretation of "religion" as a destructive guide (and rationalization) to discrimination and bigotry!

    And, he has the right to do that. . .just as we have the right to be offended by his comment and to call HIM a stupid fool, who knows NOTHING about the true meaning of Christianity!

    But, with "freedom of speech" comes consequences (no. . .the Constitution did not protect us from consequences when we makes stupid, hateful comments!), and the 'right to work" which is widely supported by the Right, gives ANY employer the right to fire for anything they don't like in the way their employees represent their employer.

    And I assume that NOW you will call me a "hater" also. . .well. . .go ahead, your opinion is a moot point for me.

    I know I don't "hate" anyone, but I can make up a commentary that is "smart and logical" and one which is merely "bigotry and negativity!"

    Personally, I don't care whether "Phil" continues to be a hero for some. . .he never was and NEVER will be in my frame of reference as anything but backward bully with a very strange idea of what Christianity is all about!

    It seems like a person cannot have a belief if it isn't politically correct with the liberals. Yet some of you feel free to bash the bible but that isn't suppose to be offensive. Strange how things work in this politically correct bowl. I am offended by political correctness.

    he gets to quote whatever he feels like quoting. You are welcome to your false outrage.
    You don't believe the bible so you shouldn't care if it condemns your actions. Go about your business and be quiet.

    I would expect that he would say that you're neither bad nor good. You're simply not saved. I daresay would also not automatically call you a sh!thead because he doesn't believe as you do. He would call you a sinner.

    And - clearly - you being described as a sinner bothers you far more than you calling him anything. I'm going to conclude that that makes you not only intolerant, but extremely thin-skinned.
