Pat Robertson: Satan Responsible for Gay Rights, Recalls Day When Gays Stoned to Death

The Hampton Roads area chambers of commerce and government development offices work endlessly to transform the region's image and make the region more attractive to world class businesses.  Perhaps the first thing they need to do to accomplish this goal is to find a way to have Pat Robertson committed to a mental institution or find another means to silence the nasty nutcase who seems to at least monthly spout batshitery that embarrasses the region and  makes Hampton Roads the home of whacked out crazies. In his latest episode of diarrhea of the mouth Robertson vents against gays and even give the impression that he might long for the days when were stoned to death by the "godly folk."  Right Wing Watch has details:

Today on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson said that Satan is behind homosexuality and that Jesus wouldn’t have served gay couples since they would have been stoned to death.

Robertson made the remarks following a report on a Colorado baker who was sued for refusing to serve a same-sex couple and the controversy over Arizona’s so-called “religious freedom” bill. The segment included interviews with the baker, his attorney, a sympathetic customer and three conservative activists. It didn’t feature any interviews with people defending the gay customers.

“I think you got to remember from the Bible, if you look carefully at the Bible what would have happened in Jesus’ time if two men decided they wanted to cohabit together, they would have been stoned to death,” Robertson said. “So Jesus would not have baked them a wedding cake nor would he have made them a bed to sleep in because they wouldn’t have been there. But we don’t have that in this country here so that’s the way it is.” (Robertson’s claim that Jesus would never have encountered a same-sex couple is a matter of debate.)

Robertson added: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have to recognize what I said a few years ago, at that point homosexual marriage was condemned, homosexuality itself was considered a pathology and now those that are practicing that activity have turned and become the oppressors of those who hold deeply-held religious points of view, the tables have turned.”

“What is it about gays? What is it about abortion? Have you ever thought why they’re on the forefront right now? Both of them deny the reproduction of human species,” Robertson said, adding that homosexuality is “a meaningless exercise because it doesn’t go anywhere.”

“The Devil is trying to say, ‘I’m going to destroy your progeny any way I can. If you will kill your babies, that’s fine, I’m with you; if you will deny the chance of having babies, that’s fine too; but I want to destroy your opportunities to reproduce,’” he said. “It’s a very serious thing and we’re not talking about it, and we need to as a society, we have to realize where the attack is coming because it is definitely an attack.”

Co-host Wendy Griffith agreed: “The Devil wants to steal, kill and destroy. Well said Pat.”

 

One of the best things that could happen to Hampton Roads would be to see CBN shut down and Regent University taken from Robertson's grasp and control.  The man is an insane, senile bigot.
