Pastor Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, has been making the rounds to defend Chick-fil-A’s anti-gay advocacy with claims that gays lead a “miserable lifestyle” and telling his congregants to support “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day”:
Robert Jeffress
“The liberals have gone into a frenzy,” said Jeffress. “Their first response was to try to stop the expansion of businesses with which they disagree. That should be of great concern for every American,” he added.The pastor, who last year made headlines for saying Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is not a Christian and Mormonism is a cult, also urged his church members to support the Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day on Aug. 1.“Let’s go to Chick-fil-A this Wednesday to support religious freedom in America,’” said Jeffress. Supporters of traditional marriage and fans of Chick-fil-A are expected to head to their nearest chain restaurant on Aug. 1 to encourage Cathy.
His Pathway to Victory radio ministry also replayed one of his an anti-gay sermons on Friday, where he warned that homosexuals, since they are “perverse,” could begin to molest children since “if a person will sink that low” then “there is no telling to whatever sins he will commit as well.”

Jeffress: Amazingly, some gay activists don’t even try to hide the link between homosexuality and pedophilia. There are some who are right now are actively involved in trying to legalize sex between adults and children by lowering the age of consent or removing it altogether.
In all fairness, it would be wrong to suggest that all homosexuals to pedophiles, it would be wrong to even suggest that a majority of homosexuals are pedophiles, but the truth nevertheless is there. There are a disproportionate amount of assaults against children by homosexuals than by heterosexuals, you can’t deny that, and the reason is very clear: homosexuality is perverse, it represents a degradation of a person’s mind and if a person will sink that low and there are no restraints from God’s law, then there is no telling to whatever sins he will commit as well.

The old fascist should know.
Because two consenting adults is the same as an adult taking advantage of a child. Idiots….
some one super glue this mans lips shut hes an idiot how dare he compare being gay to being a pedophile theres no facts linking the 2
His whole existence is predicated on a lie.
You can’t fix stupid.
I don’t understand why nobody sues someone like this for defamation. It must be the money.
This dude needs to at least come up with something original. The “homosexuality = pedophilia” card has been pulled so many times it’s not even relevant anymore.
ahh yes, even more reason to boycott it!
He’s a stupid moron.
OMG..These idiots!..Well a stupid name like Chick-fil-A pretty much says it all..
Sorry, but his comment will lead him into his own “uncharted” territory. ;)
again WRONG FACT= 90% of pedophiles are STR8 men..FACTS HURT BIGOTS HEADS
No homosexuality doesn’t lead to pedophilia, priesthood does
He should do his research. He’d find out that the OVERWHELMING majority of pedophiles are heterosexual.
last time i checked, it was priests and pastors molesting little boys. i have NEVE heard of a gay person doing it. where does he get his info?
Despite all historical, criminal, and psychological facts to the contrary…
Wow…and to think,the pervert who molested me as a child was a married,straight man with children!..go figure.
Idiot
Oh, for god’s sake! Another moron! There are so many these days!
The only thing with Chic-Fil-A is that they are involved in hate crime with speech…verbally attacking a group of people that have done nothing wrong especially to that company. I am all for a religous run restaurant making it clear that they are Christian…I do have an issue with being hatefully discriminated against and money being spent given to hate crime organizations. The pastor mentioned here isn’t worth the time of day! The only reason people like him exist is because of their own feelings and secret fantasys.
What about the people who are pedophiles that are heterosexual? Seems like the homosexual ones are the ones who make the biggest headlines, they heterosexual ones are to fear too…WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING GAY/LESBIAN!!!!
yet another idiot that deserves sever punishment
wonder how or why nutcases like this know so much about pedophilia? o wait, could it be because the churches and their wolves luring their sheep are the first and at top of the pedophilia list! hmmm
What do expect from a religion based on lies.
Idiot !
Another valid reason to boycot them. Using religion as a weapon?? Number one: WRONG. Number Two: Against God’s teachings. And Three: He has already reserved a place in Hell. To me, people whom do this and no better that the Westboro Baptist Church!!!
nobody believes his bullshit
Why do people pay attention to nutjobs like these? The dude sounds insane!
Thats just idiotic, never have i ever looked at a child in a sexual way. Pssshh the dumb pastor would know, sudecing lil boys and all
Ugh.
This guy is registering on my gaydar.
I thought being a Cathiloc Priest, or a Penn State coach leads to pedophilla????
funny.. there are more pedophiles IN church
Idiot and a jerk
Lie from the pit of hell
how true he is. . if spurned faggots like him could harass children like us in public then he really is an example himself!!!
HATERS GONNA HATE – and will find any reason to do it! This week it’s some fucked up chicken place, next week it’ll be something else. They’re hell bent on hating, so it’s on them. God will eventually express his displeasure with all of the haters. Trust me, God will.
nauseating
UGH. And he’s in Dallas to boot.
I guess the concept that gay people are just gay and are people, too, and don’t deserve to be treated like second class citizens or be looked at as inferior and so on and so forth does not register in this old Pharisee’s brain just as he doesn’t see the link between treating gay people as people and not subhuman people and boycotting businesses that want to stand squarely in the way of bringing equality. Dense person is dense.
Just who are those “gay activists don’t even try to hide the link between homosexuality and pedophilia”? I don’t know any. (By the way, the original meaning of the Greek word transliterated as “pedophilia” literally meant “normal human love for young boys.” If we were to be correct for how pedophilia is used today, we would use “pederastia” which means “sexual activity with young boys.” Interesting how society has taken good words and made them bad words.)
I think someone didn’t understand Jesus “love your neighbour” speech.
Is he aware heterosexuals are pedophiles too? It’s everyone! You can’t use it to attack one group of people when even your very own heterosexual ‘Christians’ can be just as menacing.
And a pastor or priest trying to deflect pedophilia onto gays is just rich!
And hurr leads to durr, clearly.
smh this disgust me… never have i looked at a child like that ugh but I guess all pedophiles are homosexuals right? why do ppl not look stuff up before they open their mouth… heterosexual males are the main pedophiles… closed minded people should come wit closed mouths. Not to mention to use the bible as a weapon is purely ignorant. No one knows wat it really said, its been translated so many different times and from different languages… learn something before you try to open your mouth.
Look at the statistics, you moron-pastor robert jeffress!!!!
I find it odd that a company like shit-fil-a has gained so much attention as if this was something new. This company has been homophobic since they opened. As for this.. pastor… he is just another uneducated person trying to gain national attention through religious propaganda. Just like the KKK.
no it dosent is this guy on some of drug i think he has screw lose
A deluded moron
Whatever…im sick of all the biggots….maybe we should stop giving them so much attention by way of silent boycotts? That way they dont know whats going on till it’s too late. Say maybe go to places like chick fil a one last time and write gay dollars and this is the last you will see of our money on our money, then dont go anymore. Take the attention away from the biggoted people on their soap boxes….They will think they are winning for a while…..
Just announce the boycotts on gay and gay friendly pages etc… and do it…
Take action no more talking…..
Okay first of all.. Chikfila is not wrong with expressing how they feel, bc I mean come on their closed on Sunday’s because of their beliefs.. But who the hell gives that pastor the right to say homosexuality leads to pedophilia??? Huh??? What the hell.. There are so many damn pedophiles that are straight.. People really have got to chill the hell out over gay people.. And starting more drama. What the hell as this society turned to???
Twat! lolz
He’s a freak… and caters to the worst IMO.
Stupidest crap I ever heard. So a male pedophile who touches and rapes girls are gay?? How silly.
There are many stupid folks in this world … well ignorant.
ever notice these stupid anti gay comments come from butt effen ugly people?
The scary part us that he has a congregation. There is a group of people that willingly listen to and support him for perpetuating his ignorance and intolerance.
Yeah how exactly does sex between consenting adults lead to pedophilia ie child rape…??? It doesn’t. The pastor is an idiot!
I thought it led to very expensive espresso makers
what a bunch of hefer dust, sometimes i think these homophobic nuts have unresolved feelings for their own gender
Pssst, ur ignorance is showing! The dog that barks the loudest is the guilty one!
That sentiment REALLY pisses me off….
Fucking idiot douchebag -____- talking all that shit and he’s probably a pedophile himself!
let’s wait for a while. i am sure he will be caught with a male prostitute.
Gosh, I didn’t know Jerry Sandusky was gay. Over 90% of pedophiles are heterosexual.
Disgusting how they equate homosexuality with pedophilia!
Idiot!
He must only be talking about himself. Wretched fascist.
The media has managed to turn the Chick-Fil-A debate into a freedom of speech issue, totally putting Chick-Fil-A in the “victim” position and ignoring that Chick-Fil-A isn’t just saying that they support “traditional marriage” but in fact do donate to organizations that are fighting against the LGBT community. One of these organizations is the Family Research Council; the ones responsible for the “evidence” these religious zealots use to back their bigotry. http://www.americablog.com/2010/11/family-research-council-now-officially.html People are saying things like “He isn’t discriminating against gays, so what’s the problem?” Or “They are nice to everyone that eats there. They don’t stop anyone, not even gays, from eating at their restaurant.” Maybe all Click-Fil-A did was learn to cover up what they really stand for? I mean, smiling in people’s faces and then giving money to organizations that are intent on making sure LGBT people don’t get the same rights as everyone else? Yeah, OK. That’s being nice to everyone…
I say religion leads to pedophilia… Catholic priests anyone?
Dumb a**
it does if you’re a closeted homophobe with pedo fantasies…preacher…..
i say pastors are more out numbers to being pedophile NOT LGBT……..what an idioit and a hater
Another uneducated buffoon preaching to more uneducated buffoons!
we really need to gather up all these idiots and put them in one state and build a giant wall around the state to protect the rest of the universe.
Don’t pastors go to school? Don’t they know that pedophilia is a heterosexual disease? He makes me sick!!!
That is just spreading hatred and comportment and should be charted with a hate crime.
Did u guys hear the little boy chanting in a church – southern church – “Homos will go to hell”? How can people make a little boy sing that, without knowing if HE’ll be gay?
How do you spell IGNORANCE — wait…ultra-conservative, self-appointed guardian of Christianity!
… SENILE!!!
What an idiot!
Most pedoplihes are straight men, dimwit. Many are protestant ministers.
he can go to hell i have 3 beautiful kids and would never do anything to harm them in any way …..hell he looks like a flaming fag in the pic…douch bag
then he should eat chick fil a
what a %%&
But in the last year, I’ve heard more about FEMALE teachers and MALE students… Does being a female lead to being a cougar?
same old ignorant sh*t!
if brains were gas he wouldn’t have enough to drive half way around the inside of a cheerio.
Actually the majority of rapists and pedophiles are heterosexual men. This includes the rape of other men, it is not about the rapist/pedophile being a homosexual, it is about the control. Source: Many Criminal Justice classes.
I could type a lot of expletives here but it would NOT do any good. This pastor needs a good exposure to reality!!!
How can someone be so stupid . There should be a warning sing outside his church . Sitting in our church will make you experience hate towards others have no real voice and make you hate anything that is not cookie cutter
Seems like priest hood leads to pedophilia itself… They should be looked at before the homosexuals are -_-
he will be the next pastor caught with little boys. bet if we force the church to release all their back records his name will come up. probably more then once.
i don’t speak your hayzoos christo
That’s an old unproven argument… move on.
Only if you’re a priest.
Closeted self hating Pastor. You know he’s buds with Sandusky.
How does he explain the priests who molested children?
These sad homophobes have nothing else to say but the same old unfounded bullshit. This idiot’s comments make him sound more and more ignorant and so are those so called ‘Christians’ who agree with false staments like this.
OH MY GOD-Really? Statistics show that most pedophilias are straight white men. Haven’t we gotten past this crap yet?
ignorants !!!! at this stage of life for people to talk in such a ignrant and scary way is dangerous!!!!!!! HE IS THE REAL DANGER WITH THAT CESSPOOL AS A MOUTH….MORON!!!!!!!
He could go to hell. MORE AND MORE,, THEY ARE LOSING THEIR SUPPORTES.
Because ppl have sth called Brain!
Oh God, how quickly we forget about our history and all the bullshit that the straight fucks started. Let me see if I remember the quote from Dixie Carter from Designing Women on an episode where she went off on a group of men including her tv hubby and real life hubby about men: Well that is the typical male attitude. You cannot ignore history and history has shown that in general it has been the men who have done the raping and robbing and the killing and the war mongering for the last 2,000 years. It has been the men who have done the pillaging and the beheading and the subjugating of whole races into slavery. It has been the men who have done the law making and the money making and most of the mischief making so if the world isn’t quite what you have in mind, you have only yourselves to thank. This rant was about the way men treat Women and blame them for everything that goes wrong, but it can also shows how straight people treat LGBT people. Dixie Carter was an LGBT supporter for a Republican.
Heterosexuality must lead to pedophilia as well….. As well as Bisexuality!! DON’T FORGET ASEXUALS AND THEIR LUST FOR CHILDREN!! so fail….
I hope that their God bless him…
And he is a Pastor,what a ass
shocking! (why do stories like this continue to be news…we’ve all heard this before)
Pfft. Oh yeah. Homo leads to pedo, pedo leads to the bestiality, pretty soon it goes directly to loving on some lamps…. PLEASE. He needs a serious reality check.
Rev. Jeffress looks like he knows his way around a cock
wrong! going to church leads to pedophilia.that’s why they don’t pay taxes.
hmmmm so ALL THOSE MINISTERS who abused children were…. homosexuals—VEWY intewesting….
Baptist Church in Texas, Don’t surprise me one bit. George W must be proud of him.
Huh. And I always thought being a clergyman led to pedophilia.
What planet is this jackass on? Jerry Sandusky was married for over 40 years! Also, What the social science research has found
In fact, any alleged link between pedophilia and homosexuality is completely unfounded. A 1998 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association notes one study that found that 90 percent of pedophiles are men and that 98 percent of these individuals are heterosexual.5 Michael Stevenson, Ph.D., a psychologist at Ball State University, explains this statistic by noting that “gay men desire consensual sexual relations with other adult men. Pedophiles are usually adult men who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. They are rarely sexually attracted to other adults.”6 Stevenson also observes that cases of pedophilia by adult lesbians are “almost non-existent.”7
What a sad excuse of a pastor. Shame on you!
Warning: Eating Chick-fil-A leads to bigotry
The same way that being a Christian leads to insanity?
Another Baptist preacher…. I don’t understand why they seem to be the only ones preaching against gays. Is it because the other Christian pastors understand that God loves ALL OF HIS CHILDREN and they don’t want to go against God’s word when He said “Judge Not That You Be Not Judged. Who gives them the right to think they are above God. If you have love in your heart you don’t preach hate.
what a hater may he go to hell i hate people like him
another idiot must be penacostal
Just more of the desperation of the other side. They know their time is ending. Humanity is going to progress with or without you. Keep talking out your pizda, idiot.
Another one crawled out from under a rock.
Oh, I forgot to say another what. Another hater who claimes to be a good Christan.

Brain stem!!! Dinosauir, on the way to extiinction, the sun dawns
He’ll be the next one in the restroom tapping his foot…..
Oh my god I can’t even…
Another chicken buckethead.
Straight preachers lead to pedophilia.
Seriously?
I think his arrest for inappropriate touching is imminent….
Vomit.
Its funny that so many of Gods followers, do not identify themselves as Gay but yet they love to molest children, so another works Mr Pastor, its not homos that molest children, Its Priests!
You know, it’s amazing how some priest abuse the term “God loves everyone.” This guy, on the other hand, is unbelievably guiding himself in the wrong direction. Shame.
Flying Spaghetti Monster ftw.
That man needs an education.
Oh bull!!! It does not!!! I was molested by a straight man… Orientation has nothing to do with one having a sick mind!!!
Uhmmm maybe he is
That’s ridiculous.
Tiny, prejudiced intellect.
wow
That’s why I get all my religions from The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Yes yes Pastor Jeffries, and talking out of your ass leads to sphincter collapse!
What a fucking retard.
The death rattle of a dying bigotry………
Funny, I preach that talking ignorance will get your ass stomped…
It is sad that their are people in our World that are proud to be ignorant!! Pedophilia does not lead to homosexuality or heterosexuality. Pedophilia is pedophilia. All gay couples want to do is live a happy life and to not fell rejected by an ignorant people. I wounder if that pastor is in the closet because studies have proved that the majority of homophobic men have insecurities about themselves. :) :)
And there goes his 5 mins of fame !!!
freak
Religion leads to stupidity….. Just saying.
interesting considering that 98% of all pedophiles are straight males…. how about that….
Seriously! Quit hiding behind, and quit thumping your Bible, I hope you burn in hell for being so judgmental
and what for becoming a priest?
@tricia, totally agreed!!! GOOD POINT!!!!!
When you look at history, there have been over assumptions on people getting equal rights. In the early 1900′s, men were told that women wouldn’t satisfy them sexually and would soon lead to men scrubbing and cleaning the house and women yell at them. Same thing with people of color; “they would soon rise to power and belittle and enslave the white man.” The list goes on with other groups in different time periods, but in the end, they are just over reactions to change.
Idiot.
hommisitís ['ομμισητής] ‘gay hater’ This neologism is closer to the truth than ‘homophobe’.
By the looks of this picture he looks like a pedophile. How day they with their ignorant selves compare us to pedophiles! Those who preach tend to be one themselves! UGH SHAME MAKES ME SICK!!!!
Bless My Ring!! O
Dumbass close-minded bigot
Heterosexuality in males leads to murder and violence. So there. (I know it’s not true but it can be asserted with even more evidence than what that guy is saying)
That is such a stupid remark that Pastor made, because I’m sure 3/4 of the pedophiles are not even gay, but considered heterosexuals, who are married. How many times you don’t hear that fathers like to molest or fumble with their kid’s genitalia or vagina’s and even do sexual intercourses? That paster is a ignorant bastard! And these same people sometimes ending up in jail, because they did something that wasn’t right, in the sense of having child-pornography, etc. Let him judge his own people and leave the gay people alone!
Another freaky hate-filled “Christian” “Pastor”..ho hum..
How do I get a hold of this man so I can tell him how full of shit that is???!!!
What a maroon! The lack of science and research in his life is profoundly disturbing.
Why? This makes me angry and sad!
make the church pay taxes if they’re going to go all political!
most pediphiles are hetero …….
Warning: homophobia leads to bigotry.
Last time I checked,of all pedophiles in our prison system are 68% heterosexual.
Most pedophiles are indeed heterosexual men. This idea that homosexuality leads to pedophilia is based on the idea that there is always one “unwilling” partner in the male homosexual act. Because most straight men would be unwilling to be on the receiving end of a sexual experience. They are hung up on the sex act and not the love between two consenting adults.
and how does this uptight biggot know this…………….first hand?
I wonder how many fundamentalists will still continue to support chik fil a after this. Sarah palins twitter feed told them to. So it must be from God.
Ignorance
just another cause of stupidity!!
