Pat Robertson: Homosexuality is "Related to Demonic Possession"


Almost like clockwork local loon and professional Christian snake oil merchant extraordinaire, Pat Robertson, spouts some sort of crazy batshitery that makes the entire Hampton Roads region look like it's inhabited by knuckle dragging Neanderthals and Bible beaters who are wholly untethered from reality. Brother Pat's latest lunacy is his statement that Homosexuality is the result of demonic possession. Candidly, if anyone acts like he's possessed by demons, it's Robertson himself. Right Wing Watch has details of the lunacy. Needless to say, Robertson is promoting the "ex-gay" myth and "choice myth." Here are highlights:

Today the 700 Club featured a segment on a man who tried to “change” his sexuality by marrying a woman, but later ended up having extramarital affairs with men. The couple reconciled after his “repentance and deliverance from the homosexual lifestyle” and decided to stay together. “That type of conduct is wrong and it is time that in society we say certain things are wrong,” Robertson said. “He’s obsessed, he has a compulsion,” he added. “I think it is somehow related to demonic possession.”

Here's a video clip of Pat Robertson's latest verbal diarrhea:
