Phil Robertson Hypothesizes About Atheist Family Getting Raped And Killed

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/24/2015 12:40 pm

On Friday, “Trunews” host Rick Wiles aired a speech that Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty delivered at the Vero Beach Prayer Breakfast earlier that day, in which Robertson offered gruesome details about how an atheist father would react to watching intruders behead his wife and rape and kill his two daughters while they also cut off his penis .... which would supposedly somehow prove a point about following God’s laws.

“I’ll make a bet with you,” Robertson said. “Two guys break into an atheist’s home. He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters. Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot them and they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And then they can look at him and say, ‘Isn’t it great that I don’t have to worry about being judged? Isn’t it great that there’s nothing wrong with this? There’s no right or wrong, now is it dude?’”

Robertson kept going: “Then you take a sharp knife and take his manhood and hold it in front of him and say, ‘Wouldn’t it be something if this [sic] was something wrong with this? But you’re the one who says there is no God, there’s no right, there’s no wrong, so we’re just having fun. We’re sick in the head, have a nice day.’”

“If it happened to them,” Robertson continued, “they probably would say, ‘something about this just ain’t right.”

Update: He gets worse.

Phil Robertson: Liberals Worse Than Nazis, Led By Satan

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/24/2015 1:10 pm

During a prayer rally speech last Friday in which he opined about an atheist family getting raped and murdered, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson employed remarks similar to the speech he delivered at CPAC earlier this year about how Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, the Japanese Emperor in World War II and ISIS terrorists were all capable of killing scores of people because they didn’t believe in Jesus.

But in his Friday remarks, he added one more group to this list of violent, Satanic evildoers: liberals.

In fact, Robertson said that demon-possessed liberals in America have killed more than Stalin and Hitler, and he even found time to suggest that President Obama is among the liberals championing Satan’s lies in the U.S.:

"Liberalism is a disease of the mind that weakens and corrupts human beings." Adolf Hitler, 1939

"Today they say that Christianity is in danger, that the Catholic faith is threatened. My reply to them is: for the time being, Christians and not international atheists are now standing at Germany’s fore. I am not merely talking about Christianity; I confess that I will never ally myself with the parties which aim to destroy Christianity. Fourteen years they have gone arm in arm with atheism. At no time was greater damage ever done to Christianity than in those years when the Christian parties ruled side by side with those who denied the very existence of God. Germany's entire cultural life was shattered and contaminated in this period. It shall be our task to burn out these manifestations of degeneracy in literature, theater, schools, and the press—that is, in our entire culture—and to eliminate the poison which has been permeating every facet of our lives for these past fourteen years." -Adolf Hitler

It is apparent that Phil knows absolutely nothing about atheists.

in paradise.

Doesn't he know that?

Only ONE unforgiveable sin in the bible, and it isn't raping, killing, beheading or being a total asshole dipwad.

So yeah..in his scenario, the surviving "atheist" get's to spend an eternity in torment but the attackers, as long as they say the magic words, go to heaven.

I don't remember reading that the attackers were athiests, just the family. Interesting all the details he provides, and forgets that one teeny clarification.

What a nasty POS this blob of protein is.

And obviously he doesn't mind displaying it in public.

Other people would be put away under observation
but people invite him to speak and he gets paid for it.

Only in a rethuglican alternate parallel universe.

An oldie, but goodie, video (the relevant part is at 2:13) that first came to mind when I read this story:

NSFW due to language



Anyway Phil Robertson is the second current biggest embarrassment to Louisiana. The first one, of course, is Bobby Jingles.

It is not believing in a god who would put the evil rapists in hell for doing it ...

I think that was what he was getting at.

That said, yeah, he is an idiot.

Sadly, as many people as not in this country will applaud him for this.

Besides being a homophobic bigot, he also made a fortune killing ducks.

What is wrong with our economic system that folks like this are rewarded so generously, while so many others follow the law but lose their homes and live as paupers on the streets?

He apparently cannot imagine morality separate from belief in God. And not just any god, HIS god. Somebody has to tell him what's right and what's wrong, he can't figure it out on his own.

He is an ass. He behaves like an ass. Saying he "makes an ass of himself" is like saying water is wet.

It would suffice to say: He is showing off his ass-holiness.
