I got this (canned) response from the 700 Club:
You’d think that, after all the nutty things this wacko has said, he’d have a sounding board so that he could say what he actually means rather than coming off like a deranged lunatic.
Obviously this is a pile-on. I’m out.
I think he said exactly what he meant to say–only after he gets called on it does he soften the message.
There is no such thing as bad publicitiy for these people.
I truly hope that Pat has the God he talks about–and when he dies, he will face that very god.
That makes me smile.
It’s not a pile-on when it’s true. Robertson’s a nut. A pure-bred, A-class nut. You, sir, are either just as much of a nut to defend him or you have no ability whatsoever to discern when someone is so full of shit that he squelches when he walks.
But I thought Darwin wrote that man began to walk upright so he could carry fabric swatches? I think I heard that on Trading Spaces, Great Apes edition.
This seems a logical extention of the watchmaker. After all, no one looks at a watch without knowing there must be a watchmaker. Likewise, no one can look at eyes without imagining their complexity must have been intelligently designed. But look closer. Look at the lovely Siberian Iris. Look at the peacock. It is inconcievable that a straight man could have possibly designed the iris or the peacock, ergo, God must be gay.
But did not the same God also design the platypus, the echidna and the manta ray? God must be a stoner.
Have you seen the Paris fashion shows? Haute couture is filled with gay men AND things that are much weirder-looking than platypi, echidnae and manta rays…
A pile on? A pile on? Like, two people in this thread have responded to you, and neither have insulted you directly, and you’re going to whine about a pile on and run away with your tail between your legs? Grow a pair, you useless fucking lump. Or keep your idiot opinions to yourself, if you’re not prepared to defend them.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think mrrealtime meant that it was a pile-on on PR, but a pile-on on him. Not a big loss that he left the thread, IMHO. It’s not like he was contributing anything useful to it.
That’s what I meant, too. If he’s defending Robertson’s remarks as being misunderstood, then every insult aimed at mrrealtime is deserved.
And it isn’t like there has never been a gay man who used illegal recreational substances. Though I don’t suppose God is limited by illegal.
Oh. I got confused, you see, because as Miller pointed out only like two people had addressed him, and two posts do not a pile-on make.
If it is a pile-on on Pat Robertson, it’s not like he doesn’t deserve it. Though I feel really bad for those on the bottom of the heap.
Plus, by most conservative of estimates 6,000 years old and in all that time he’s never been romantically linked to a woman (not even the surrogate mother who had his son)? And He constantly told people in the O.T. to “turn your eyes away… Don’t Look at Me I’m Just a Total Fright”- how gay is that?
sorry to return (am I to understand that if I do not agree with the majority my opinions are not welcome or valid??), but I must say I did mean this thread is a pile on pat robertson, and not on me.
Everybody’s opinion is welcome, but always be ready to defend yourself.
Robertson is and always has been a whackjob.
And? So what if it is?
just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
Not at all. But you have no right to be agreed with. If you express an opinion that the majority here disagrees with, they WILL tell you that, and why.
I’d like to note that it’s not we who threw you out of the thread. It’s you who grabbed yourself by the collar and tossed.
