...O/T...I am so sick of this type thing;

...I would tend to think such people would boycott the show they never even watched, instead of the whole network. And any lost or added viewers will revert back to the norm in due time.

 

...ahh, I see. You're one of those part-time/pseudo Christians...you claim to have "Christian beliefs", but only when it suits your agenda du jour...that makes you the worst kind.
...the Bible is full of references about homosexuality and those verses are obviously subjective but according to you, anyone who interprets those words as being homophobic is being "narrow-minded"...what you don't realize is by saying that, you are actually being "narrow minded" yourself. Don't you just hate it when your own pretzel logic is used against you?

...I do however, find it odd that while on a sports message board that you decided to finally make your first post on an off topic subject...what was your previous SN?...I highly doubt you'll actually disclosed what name you previously posted under...people who are posting incognito are generally like that.

 

...well, that settles it then...people who believe in the teachings of The New Testament are, by default, bigots.

 

As I mentioned earlier & I hate being redundant, this was NOT some impulsive anti-gay rant, it was a response (I repeat a response) to a question he was asked by someone who I assume was looking for an HONEST personal opinion. The question was asked & answered.

Maybe these over sensitive clowns should watch a few episodes of the old Dean Martin celebrity roasts........

Milton Berle ( white ) to Flip Wilson ( black ) after using the word raccoon in a story, "Sorry Flip, didn't mean to say COON".

Red Foxx (black) looking side to side at the mostly white dais " I haven't seen this much white meat since my thanksgiving turkey blew up".

Don Rickles to Paul Lynne (gay) " Look at Paul over there having just a gay old time".

My point is that people have to stop acting like its the end of the world every time someone says something that they don't agree with.

This whole thing also reminded me of the day Howard Cosell was suspended after announcing during a football ball game, "look at that little monkey run". Monkeys are fast. And I've no doubt that that was what he meant.

 

...^^^ rick gets it.

 

Who the fuck is going to play 3B this season. 59 and Rick, I'm with you, Hammer you nailed it, and to anyone who post under a different name than normal I say really! Look, I try to respect everyone. I would like the same, but I for one believe that people are not perfect. News Flash. So who wants Headley from SD. And if he is a bigot but hits 30HR's iI'm ok with it, lol.

 

...if you think the context in which the term "bigot" was used to describe Robertson does not have "some negative connotation, feel free to explain why".

 

...yeah, by all means, shift gears.

 

BINGO

 

He said that homosexuality, bestiality and adultery were all sins...

He was asked a question... he answered... he is not a bigot, sorry

QC: What, in your mind, is sinful?

Phil: “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,” he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

He didn't say anything hateful, he didn't say anything spiteful, he didn't say anything against anyone in particular. He was asked what a sin was, and he answered. People need to get over it. He spoke the truth, now move on

 

and how is he a racist???? and he isn't a bigot, and I'll gladly defend him.

 

...lmao...this has now gone way past laughable.

...in post #46 above, you stated "If you think "bigot" has some negative connotation, feel free to explain why."

...now 2 posts later you turn around and contradict your self by saying "He's a racist and a bigot. Not something I'd be proud of or defend"




...It's obvious that even you don't know what you mean.

 

pretty much

 

...^^^uhhh no, I didn't miss any thing...did you miss this? ;

...maybe the "bold font" will help and won't "confuse you".

 

and if you had seen or heard anything about him, Phil Robertson has taken people of all colors, creeds, etc. into his house, fed them, and given them money, even when they didn't have money themselves... now why would a racist or a bigot do that???

simple answer, he wouldn't... because he isn't...

people don't care about the actual facts though and just distort everything to make someone else look bad to make themselves feel better...
