You prefer the depraved tenets of Sodom and Gomorrah, then, some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago? Marvelous thinking.

Why should I not be?

In ideological terms there is really not that much difference between extremists of all sorts.

No, you are being absurd. The Taliban believes that homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. Now you tell me where Robertson's beliefs come anywhere near that.

I was not accusing Robertson of anything.

I accused a user of being a fanatic who isnt that different from the taliban.

OK, tell me where that user's beliefs come anywhere close to demanding the death penalty for being homosexual.

Is it that you are being purposely obtuse or do you not actually understand the taliban law?

The difference between that user and the taliban is as starkly in contrast as the difference between me debating you about your beliefs and me lynching you because of your beliefs.

In other words, stop saying ignorant things.

Everytime I cruise the cable and hit this DUCK show I think of the film IDIOCRACY. Why in the world would anyone spend even thirty seconds on this garbage?

You brought the "deth penalty for homosexuals" into this.

I accuse him of having the same mentality like the Taliban because just like them he uses his holy book to justify any of his actions and rejects all counters against him as "unchristian" and therefor not even worth listening.

He combines politics and religion and therefor believes that he has the right to claim absolute truth in political debates and to dehumanise and potentialy criminalise all those who oppose him.

So he is a fanatic and a fascist. Just like the Taliban.

"Most" Christians don't repent and the few homosexuals I've personally known who were Christian were incredibly torn up about their sexuality and were constantly praying to God to save them from Hell.

We all sin, but some of us acknowledge that we're wrong..
Click to expand...
I don't hear Christians regularly condemn adultery or divorce, and yet, that happens with far more frequency than homosexuality. Why? Because adultery and divorce could happen to them, not someone else.

In Christianity we can just "start over."
Click to expand...
Yes, and how convenient that is...

Sorry, Christians just don't sin for the sake of it KNOWING that they can be redeemed...
Click to expand...
Yes, they do. Christians regularly work on Saturday and/or Sunday, regularly commit adultery, regularly divorce, regularly covet a man/woman not their spouse and that's just going down a few lines in the Ten Commandments.

Many Christians regularly do things they know are wrong.

If we used that logic the world would be a lot more ****ed up.....

If we used the logic of "love thy neighbor as thyself", the world would be a lot better for everyone.
Logicman said:

I know.

Like I said, gays celebrate their sin, promote their sin, won't repent, and sin further by denigrating those who don't agree with them (like Phil Robertson). That's a fact.
Click to expand...
It's not a fact, and no amount of re-posting it will ever make it true.
Mr.Nick said:
Bingo...

It's good to see someone who understands our knee-jerk reaction world.
Click to expand...
But those aren't knee-jerk reactions, those are laws put into place to uphold long standing prejudices.

I can disagree with someone without believing my ideas should be law - it's just a simple disagreement.

I'm glad for this, I wish more people understood this. I wish more people understood the idea of letting each person live their life in the manner they wish, as long as it has no affect on others.

So having a large number of people agree with your beliefs should make it ok to persecute or mock someone for their beliefs?

You either believe that a person has a right to their own beliefs or you dont. You either believe that a person should be mocked for their beliefs or you dont. But to act like its ok to mock one person for their beliefs and then be outraged when another persons beliefs are mocked is hypocritical.

What are you on? You have a right to your opinion, I have an equal right to mock it.

Arghhhh....I just had a really good post that disappeared....Ah well, the salient point boils down to this...

It is clear who Duck Dynasty is and what they promote on their show. It was NO surprise that Phil would answer in the way he did when asked the question he was asked. Plus he really didn't say anything horribly offensive in my humble opinion.

The groups you listed seem to be promoting a change in media back to some sort of less corruption aimed at our kids. You're against that?

Did you find Phil Robertson's answer to the questions in that interview offensive Skip? If so what about them did you find offensive, and why?

Those idiots became millionares selling duck calls. Their show is no. 1 in cable history.

I would think a person who is supposed to be educated and loves America would celebrate their entrepreneurial spirit.

Anytime someone says something the Libbos don't like that person is a "fill in the blank phobe/cist.

Intimidation is all they have.

Then I'd assume you aren't one of the people who get mad when people are mocked for their sexual orientations, or athiests being mocked for not believing in God among many many examples I could give? People have the "right" to mock, so then simply having that right makes it ok to do?

All I can tell you is for the few seconds I have seen it - and that would be many times - it just looks like garbage. I have no interest in it at all.

Maybe its great. Maybe the characters are riveting. Maybe its the best thing since Shakespeare wrote HAMLET. Its just not my cup of tea.

And you have done better with your life? You KNOW probably so little of his or anyone elses history, you really cant form any real accurate opinions about it.
Pro ball players, even in the 60s didn't make anywhere near the money that they do today. Many of them worked regular jobs in the off season.
He also married, raised a family and started a successful business. With out getting his knees blown out or sitting on his porch drooling from multiple concussions.
I think he did alright for himself.

I can see why you would not be interested in what men do. Like hunting, fishing, fourwheeling, golfing.

I am very happy that they are successful people. Its simply not my cup of tea. I also have no use for the Kardashians, all those stupid city housewives shows. Honey Boo, Big Loser, Dancing with Has beens, American Idolatry, and all the rest of that so called reality crap.

Thats just my personal taste.
