Today on the 700 Club, a woman asked Pat Robertson whether it was appropriate for her to serve as a bridesmaid or even attend her lesbian sister’s wedding to another woman.
Robertson, a fierce opponent of gay rights, demanded the woman take no part in the ceremony.
He cited Romans 1, without giving its cultural and historical context, to argue that God gave gays and lesbians up to do “evil things with their own bodies.”
“If she doesn’t like it, if that breaks the union between you,” Robertson said, “that’s tough luck.” Watch:
“You know the Bible is so clear about homosexuality and when you read in what Paul said, he said, ‘Wherefore God gave them up,’ and having given them up they did evil things with their own bodies, men for men and women with women, defaming their bodies,” said Robertson.
“Read Romans, read the Book of Romans, this isn’t something I came up with, read it in Romans. You say, ‘should I go to my sister’s wedding, should I participate,’ the answer is to tell your sister, ‘I love you but I cannot participate a ceremony that is contrary to God’s word, period.’ If she doesn’t like it, if that breaks the union between you, that’s tough luck.”

Pay NO attention to the mean old man on the TV. He is a hurtful, bigoted AssHole. Go to the wedding and support your sister!!!

Really need a dislike button!
wow, that is awful, wrong, incorrect, ahistorical, etc, etc, etc
GO to the wedding.
:(
WHAT COMMANDMENT DOES HE NOT UNDERSTAND?
this woman is going to take this idiots advice and one day totally regret her decision but it will be too late. unbelievable!
Why would she even ask him that? She already knew what he was going to say. He is a racist, homophobic, bigot! I signed a petition to pray him away. What happened?
I implore idiots like this to fuck off.
andrew…dare I repost..heeh…
what the hell did she think he would say? Of course he’s gonna tell her not to..he blames earthquakes and other natural disaters on gays..face it..pat robertson is not a friendly guy.
implore implore ya effin closeted quack
Was that before or after berating the tornado victims for not praying enough? Robemsom is getting to sound he’s been hitting the mad dog 2020.
His birth is the day his mom should’ve skipped
this is the guy who said Haiti had an earthquake because they made a deal with Satan. Come on! Whoever listens to this retard deserves the crappy advice, eh?
whats she’d be doing is accepting her SISTER for who she is and not being a discriminatory bigot.
Is anyone listening to this crypt keeper these days? I knew he was full of shit when I was five. Get real. Blow it out your Christian ass, Roberson.
Isn’t he like 100 yrs old? Shut up!
She should support her sister. Don’t listen to him.
“Implore”? He’s not God or anybody of any significance. He has no right to “implore” anybody to do anything. All he is is another old, obsolete, washed up, impotent backwards-thinking geezer standing in the way of everybody else’s fun because his best days are BEHIND him. Can somebody go ahead and “trip” over his life support plugs already so we don’t have to hear this stupidity any more. Does he even still have vital signs?
Im so sick of this fucking man
I iplore pat robertson to die by suicide.
Why would she ask this nutcase anyway?
Pat, you would think by now that your old ass would have learned that tornadoes arent spawned by lack of prayer…… Give it up, asshole
Me things since Pat has given his stamp of approval on legalizing marijuana, he should consider firing him up a big ‘ole fat hog leg about 3 times a day and that would be the end of his babbling bullshit. He may would even be somewhat entertaining then, too … just sayin’.
He such a big fat wiener!
Wait….people actually take the advice he gives? I thought that was a bad joke!! :P
What a spoil sport! >:/
Ppl like Pat make the world a baad place :_(
A scared cruel, plastic-moraled old man.
assholr!!!!!!he is going to hell after living in his own hell
I thought he had already died. Since he hasn’t, we all must make sure that his message of hate, does.
Pat’s an idiot! I never liked that judgemental bastard!!! :-( :-(
No…you can’t attend…but…you can give marijuana as a wedding gift.
I hope this old bastard burns in whatever hell he has imagined for all the families he’s destroyed, lives he’s ruined, and good decent humans he’s tortured with his vile bullshit.
That woman knew she didn’t wanna go to that wedding or else she wouldn’t have ask, especially someone like Pat robertson. She just wanted someone to tell her its ok not to. go. Its one thing not to agree with someones lifestyle but u could at least show support that ur sister is happy and has someone who loves her
looser !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this is the exact reason why I scoffed and said hell no! when NORML “implored” all its followers to support him. He won’t support me, so screw supporting him, Marijuana or no Marijuana!
He’d rather she get stoned
Nice, what about love anyway????? Are you God…..sent to judge its definition???
Pat Roberts needs to shut up! How Christian is that………..
I implore Pat Robertson to hoover some sac skin and stfu.
why on earth did she even ask him? hello, are you a grown up or a little girl?
This old dumb ass is still around
fuck pat robertson…he is just and old fart full of dumb shit that lonely people actully listen to….why cant people use there own judgement and quit following all this false profits….
Smoke more weed Pat.
Going back in time…just pull the wool over your eyes and pretend homosexuals don’t exist you self righteous homophobic barnacle.
I say we all attend his funeral. And sing its raining men.
The fact that such a moronic, mean-spirited asshole can be so financially successful in this life actually demonstrates the existence of an afterlife.
Isn’t this crusty old scab dead yet?
I no a lady like this who loves this guy, granma/christian is what she is called, n she beat a child to get control of him/revenge on me
Supporting greed, hate & oppression. Division of families is the sin.
Shut the fuck up Pat, Your such an ass…
What a douche nozzle.
its funny that he says that being gay is wrong but the other day i read an article that this same dude want marijuana to be legalize.
Robertson is a lunatic but this woman is just a simpleton if she has to ask that question and ask it of Robertson. Preposterous.
As usual he suggests hate instead of love, extremists always perverts the original message of their religions to mask their deep seeded Hatred of others.
Pat Robertson wants gays and anyone who’s not heterosexual to curl up and die. Some Godly person eh?
I also have a message for Pat Robertson from God…Don’t use my name to justify your hatred!
So sad and pathetic for this sister to even think of asking this moron. One day I hope to be sitting in whatever place of worship with family and friends watching my son marrying the man he wants to spend the rest of his life with, his soulmate. I will sit there with tears of joy as part of the blessing of this rightful ceremony expressing the solidifying of their love.
Yeah because we all know the love of ones sister should be “conditional” asshole…..real christian there pat
Mind your own business, Pat and crawl back in your hole.
thanks for the Twitter invite to Blooming Wellness ! :)
Guess what Pat! I’m still going to my sister’s wedding! :P
Can we quote JESUS? “Love one another” Mr. Robinson….Paul/Romans is not the one to be quoting here…..Why doesn’t anyone EVER quote what JESUS said? I thought JESUS was the great teacher of Christianity.
This guy is an idiot!
Jesus also loves the Gays!
this man is a certified loon
You can’t really get mad at him… The woman did ask him. He just said what he feels. Seems like she is the one with the issue. Yes I do believe in same sex marriage!
Jesus loves everyone, and to him one sin is as bad as the other. Its the church that has the problem.
If she thinks she has to ask Pat Robertson then she’s an idiot. Is there anyone in the world who wouldn’t know what his answer would be?
That’s fucked up.. Trying to tear a family apart for hateful reasons.. I hope she opens up her mind and realizes that family and love are the most important and precious things in this life..
I can’t believe anyone would ask him that question. He is not God.. He is a damn idiot.
What a hater!
way to show the woman’s sister how christians behave, by tearing apart families Mr. Robertson
What is she asking him for? Its her sister! duh
Another fine example of Christian Family Values.
Why does Pat Robertson’s opinion matter more to this woman than the opinion of her sister? Also another example of Pastor Worship. Are any other members of the family attending the wedding.
Why are the words of Paul taken as more important than Christ’s?
Pat Roberson is going to hell Jesus did not preach hattred and biggotry.
