The network A&E issued a statement late Wednesday branding Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertsons recent statements to GQ about sin and homosexuality unacceptable and indicated that his beliefs in no way reflect those of A&E Networks who sic have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community." The network has placed Phil under indefinite hiatus.
Expressing a Biblical viewpoint is now unacceptable?" In any forum? Really? How far and how fast we have fallen as a society and as a culture. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion (especially the Christian one) is no longer tolerated in the eyes of those who have completely capitulated to the charms of the gay agenda and those who seek to complete the mainstreaming of homosexuality into society without debate or criticism.
It is amazing that one can now be hounded punished and censored for merely having the audacity of believing in traditional morals and values. And for daring to express them. Political correctness is a tool of tyranny wielded by the radical isms of the Left with increasing ferocity. The persecution of Christians continues to expand and grow every day and those who dare to proclaim a Biblical principle can expect no mercy. The Left has absolutely no tolerance for any beliefs other than their own. All else is branded incendiary bigotry intolerance and hatred. It has become fashionable to persecute traditional values but if you dare offend gays lesbians or Muslims for that matter youre going to be intimidated silenced and labeled as a hater.
The followers of the new religious creed of tolerance multiculturalism diversity and political correctness are among the most intolerant of people. No one is allowed to disagree with them in a public forum or manner without being blasted mocked and shut down with extreme prejudice. All the power available to our fascist friends of the Left is brought to bear against those so foolish as to dare to utter a word contrary to their official creed.
Robertson discusses in his GQ interview his religious beliefs and about sin saying start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men." Then he paraphrases Corinthians saying dont be deceived. Neither the adulterers the idolaters the male prostitutes the homosexual offenders the greedy the drunkards the slanderers the swindlers they wont inherit the kingdom of God. Dont deceive yourself. Its not right."
Robertson added in the interview It seems like to me a vagina as a man would be more desirable than a mans anus. Thats just me. Im just thinking: Theres more there! Shes got more to offer. I mean come on dudes! You know what Im saying? But hey sin: Its not logical my man. Its just not logical."
Robertson further elaborated on the interview in question later.
I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together" the statement said.
However I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
Merely stating what the Bible says about certain topics is not offensive. It is instead a statement of Biblical truth.
Interestingly enough the gay rights group GLAAD said in a statement posted on the groups website Phil and his family claim to be Christian but Phils lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe." Apparently true Christians" dont believe in the Bible. Now thats a twisted bit of theology to say the least. But in the eyes of Left and the gay community up is down and wrong is right. What a confusing state of affairs to say the least.
Im sure the apostle Paul would have been extremely surprised to find out that he was not a true Christian" (read Romans 1:26 27). As the son grandson and great-grandson of ministers of the gospel I have to say that Phil Robertsons statements were closer to true Christianity than those issued by GLAAD. You are free to disagree with the Christian religion and what its founders taught but dont try to pretend it is something that it isnt.
It is also interesting that the same groups of people who supposedly oppose the bullying of people for their personal beliefs are now bullying someone for their personal beliefs. If you can tolerate someone saying Im gay and Im proud" then you certainly should be able to tolerate someone saying Im Christian and Im proud." In the end Darkness cannot stand the light of truth. Therefore there can be no tolerance for truth. It must be silenced no matter what. The champions of diversity stop at diversity of thought and in reality become mere thought-police using the levers of power to create a chilling effect on all those who dont agree with their agenda.
My prayers and heartfelt support for Phil Robertson as well as anyone else who has suffered at the hands of the new American fascism of the Left.
