Re: Pat Robertson Says Homosexuality is 'Related to Demonic Possession'

Maybe we can all accept they are homosexual because they are just like that..?

Of course we can accept 'they are just like that'. The Bible does not say it is wrong to be a homer. What the Bible condemns is homer behaviour and therefore gives a homer the choice to be executed or not - that seems fair enough to me:

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon

Prove it, or shut up.

did not miss anything I just interjected a comment that said clearly that
if we Atheists say there is no proof that god exists how can you expect us
to prove a mythical figure.We cannot do anything about what is solely part
of your mind set.

You didn't miss anything?

How about that fact that I AM AN ATHEIST (as shown by the "awards" beside my name)?

How about the fact that this is a Baptist Church's website, where the accepted "truth" is that God exists, and as you have claimed differently, the burden is upon you to provide said "proof".

YOU are the one who claims God does not exist. It is on YOU to provide PROOF of that claim, or to withdraw said claim and STFU.

"When debating any issue, there is an implicit burden of proof on the person asserting a claim. If this responsibility or burden of proof is shifted to a critic, the fallacy of appealing to ignorance is committed".

Dear Atheistard:

YOU are claiming that you have proven God does not exist.

HE wants you to show the evidence that you say proves God does not exist.

YOU made the claim. YOU must show your proof.

Are you really this stupid?

HE is not asking you to prove God does exist. HE is telling you to show your evidence, since you say you can prove God doesn't exist.

Prove it, or shut up.

So, the geriatric hatemonger, Pat Robertson has done it again. Instead of just shutting up and going back to fleecing his flock of their hard-earned pennies, Robertson just has to pipe up and show that he’s firmly in step with the ugly side of Christianity. That is if you can call people like this Christian – I’m sure a certain Jewish gentleman is spinning in his grave.

I’m sure a certain Jewish gentleman is spinning in his grave.

Who are you referring to?

If it's Jesus:
a) he's not jewish
b) he's not in a grave, he's in heaven

Re: Pat Robertson Says Homosexuality is 'Related to Demonic Possession'

this would be why your religion has caused 2000 years of wars.Sorry it makes you so angry that I have proved your invisible super being does not exist.
Show me it is real and I will change my tune, because the existence of fruit trees is not cutting it.
You have no authority. None. You know nothing. Please stop telling me nonsense is real.

You can't even prove that fairies don't exist so let's not go there.

Re: Pat Robertson Says Homosexuality is 'Related to Demonic Possession'

we all know everyone hates satan (including me) i want a fundamental or something

does anyone here like this guy?Actually I prefer Satan over this guy. Satan may be evil but at least he's honest about it.So in other words you think it's perfectly fine for someone to take people's faith and trust in a beneficent divinity and twist it around to satisfy their own greed? As long as they throw in a "Praise the Lord" here or there it doesn't matter if what they preach is hate and intolerance? It's okay to condone murder as long as you end with an "Amen".
Wow.
If I could just find a dozen more people who think like that I could start my own cult!

Why are you here, Tom? Are you here because pointing out to others what seems obvious to your own imagination is a hobby?

What drives you? Do you hate God and His word so much that you yearn to show it to the world?

I don't get it. What was the purpose of your rather incoherent stream of consciousness just now?

Of course it's not OK to just say anything and end it with an "Amen" and it will be OK. Whatever gave you that idea?

What matters is getting your morals and guidance for those tough decisions in life straight from God via His definitive word on how to behave! Where else ought we to derive morals from?

Re: Pat Robertson Says Homosexuality is 'Related to Demonic Possession'

All I got to say about the man, he's very insentive and cruel for his ignorant remarks over the years, 9-11 was blamed on homosexuals, Hurricane Katrina was blamed on abortion, now Haiti's earthquake because of making a "pact with the devil" Nonsense.... all of it.

Hi Tom.

Could you maybe write a bit clearer? I'm having real trouble understanding what point your are trying to make.

Yours in Christ.

Look, friend, this spouting of your own opinion over and over again is starting to grate on our nerves a bit now.

Back up what you say with scripture that explains how you came to this opinion by the word of God or hush your mouth.

I ask you again: where do we get our morals from if not from God?

Welcome Tom to Gods favourite forum,

What's your favourite Bible verse, what inspires you?

The verse inspiring me today is:

John 8:43
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Yours in Christ

Re: Pat Robertson Says Homosexuality is 'Related to Demonic Possession'

Hmmmm....I don't think he would call for the assaination of his enemies. I seem to recall a certain saying "Love thy neighbor as you love thyself." Funny how this guy forgets the golden rule every time that he's on television. This guy makes me sick. If Jesus was alive today, he'd probably cry after seeing the 700 Club.

"Claimed that the portion of the U.S. Constitution that pertains to the separation of church and state was not in the original Constitution and was forged onto it by a Communist spy sent to Washington, DC, by the Russians in the late 1920s. According to Robertson, the original framers of the Constitution were told by God that the United States was to be governed by a coalition of ministers, businessmen and property owners, and that the words "democracy" and "republic" are nowhere to be found in the original U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
