    The only hatred I'm seeing in this thread are from the posters who obviously hate Christians.

    I have no problems with christians who dont use their faith to hide their biggoty. If you hate gays just say so and stop trying to pass the buck on to god, cause he has more important shit to worry about.

    that's idiotic. everyone here is bashing bigotry, not Christianity. if someone wants to be a bigot and call it Christianity that's their problem.

    Your issue should be with the Bible, which does say homosexuality is a sin. Robertson mentioned many other sins as well outside of the sexual preference of people, as they are defined by the Bible. As usual, the media noise and distortions shape public opinion, and the truth of the event becomes secondary to the agendas of those on both sides of the debate.

    Context gets lost, along with the truth.

    as previously noted in this thread Christians including Robertson all demonstrably pick and choose from the bible what they think is and isn't sin based on their own personal view of morality and personal prejudices.

    No. Robertson listed other sins as well. Now you're just making things up.

    He listed a few things out of hundreds mentioned in the OT, with the focus on homosexuality (what's wrong with America? START with homosexuality... and branch out from there). His wording both in the article and in the sermon obviously demonstrate there is some level of prejudice involved that goes way beyond "yeah I think homosexuality is a sin because the bible says so".

    I don't see him saying eating shellfish will lead to the downfall of America.

    I'm not sure why people are having such a Shit fit over these comments. He is a bible thumper, what conservative bible thumper wouldn't say this?

    He's basically just listing off bible sins.

    People saying he is hiding behind bigotry of the bible are jjust as ridiculous. The man has a right to believe anything he wants. Thinking the bible is a fairy tale and acting like it's garbage is bigotry too
