Pat Robertson Warns That Gay Marriage Signals the Collapse of United States
http://www.indecisionforever.com/2011/06/27/pat-robertson-warns-that-gay-marriage-signals-the-collapse-of-united-states/

You thought that the recent New York Senate decision for marriage equality was a victory for civil liberties and basic human rights? Nope! Shows what you know.

Pat Robertson — in his usual charming manner — explains why this is actually the death knell of America…

"In history there's never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn’t one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, 'what's going to happen to America?' Well if history is any guide, the same thing’s going to happen to us."

There scariest thing is, he's right! Pat Robertson is totally right! Gayistan — gone! Friends of Dorothylvania — gone! Democratic Republic of Homo — gone! They're all gone! All the thousands of nations that actively embraced homosexuality have all fallen into collapse. Almost as if they never existed in the first place.

And, you know what? All go Pat Robertson one further: No planet that has ever expressed a tolerance for sexual freedoms has not ultimately — within a ten or so billion years — been swallowed by the sun that exists at the center of its solar system. Never! Name one exception. You can't!

2. Pat should take the gold plated diamond studded beam from his own eye
...before he starts lecturing others.

3. Excuse me for being so blunt but
Why doesn't Pat Robertson go fuck himself and signal his own collapse?

5. Don't think he is throwing the first stone.

But sounds like a stone.

What was shown in the second Glyph in the sand?

Do you know Pat Robertson? <- probably cause for TSA search in that name?

hmm, I am Robert Eastwood, does that make me older?

Still standing.

And Pat, what do you think of these people, and their drawings?

first glyph, an action.


Second glyph a result.


That is a far better action in my view, then what some would choose to do, but I like Art that can inspire and help many people. And those that use there time to tell such stories to help many people, and add many good thoughts, even if they are not perfect.

Many good actions with many good results all over the place, even when flawed, for we are all flawed.

6. Ancient Greece Did Pretty Well
And they were pretty openly homosexual. Of course, it was only for men. Women were treated like shit - kind of like what Rev. Pat wants to do.

I am SO waiting to see this fucktard caught with a rent boy!

8. The phony preacher will whine about this for a long time.
Send more money, Pat says. He's gonna save the US of A from them marrying homosexuals. :rofl: They will probably have a more stable marriage rate than most fundamentalist christians. :applause:

11. Uh, yeah. The odd thing is that
in history, there's never been a civilization ever in history that has survived indefinitely. There's always a rise and a fall.

The Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Babylonians, the Sumerians--they all collapse. Usually due to greed. We're far more likely to "collapse" because of the other "sins of Sodom"--pride, not taking care of widows and orphans, being uncharitable, being paranoid about people who aren't exactly Us.

Oh, and if it's going to be some bizarre weather event, then what have the people of Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, and most of the sub-confluence Mississippi done, really, to incur God's Wrath (TM)?

12. Which "civilization" has survived? Ancient China? Medieval England? Persia?
I think many more civilizations which did not embrace gay rights have fallen.

13. That's my exact same question!
I was just going to post that. You hear that canard so often but is it true? Yeah, OK, Rome is definitely gone. Is Greece? It's still a country. Can it be said to have survived? Like your question, can you say China has survived? Someday I'd like that old prick to actually name some.
