A&E suspended Phil Robertson

Can a person believe that homosexuality is wrong on a personal religious level and yet also believe we should treat others with respect despite differences we may have with them? Or must he agree with your beliefs in order to not be labeled a bigot by you?

No, it was a very good statement, and you couldn't argue, so you insulted!

No, it was completely fabricated bullshit, which you agreed with because you could not argue with what I stated.

Not once have I stated a person must agree with me. Howey was clearly bigoted in his comments. You calling someone a homophobe simply because their religious beliefs teach them marriage and relations should only be between a man and a woman is bigoted.

A person can have that religious belief, yet still treat those that disagree with them with respect, despite the differences in belief. So calling them a homophobe simply because you disagree with them, is bigoted.

Here is something funny to me...

The Cons cheered the firing of Martin Bashir for saying something disgusting about Sarah Palin, now they defend this kook and bash A&E for suspending him after he makes a bigoted comment about an entire class of upright citizens.

1) What he stated was ON THE AIR of the network he worked for
2) It was not a religious belief he was stating, it was vitriolic hatred, period.

LMAO @ 'entire class of upright citizens'

Just because its a religious belief does not make it less bigoted. I've known plenty of racists who believed you should treat black people with kindness and respect, yet they were still racist.

There's no comparison between the two comments. None.
 
I'm not jumping on the Phil Robertson bandwagon yet. I'm waiting to see if and for how long he stands by his comments.
 
:rofl2:

How many RumpRanger are actually watching the show??? I would imagine none. CNN had some queen from GLAD, saying they will turn off and refuse to watch, like they ever did.

Your #1 makes very little difference to me.
Your #2 fails to acknowledge that vitriolic hatred dressed up like a religious belief is still vitriolic hatred.

You didn't read his comments, did you? lol, it is bigoted and wrong and he went way past his religious beliefs in his comments. Homosexuality doesn't lead beastiality.

What in the hell does religion have to do with any of this? It's OK to be hateful if the hate flows from your religion? Westboro Baptist?

Garud actually thinks those are in the same category. That is how full of hate he is towards those that disagree with him. He tries to equate someone saying Palin should be 'treated like a slave and have someone defecate in her mouth' with another person who says he doesn't get why a man would 'like an anus over a vagina'

If you don't know what religion has to do with this, then you should try actually reading up on the issue being discussed prior to jumping in. You clearly have no clue what Robertson actually said... do you?

And he did not say that it did. Never. He listed a group of behaviors that were, according to his Bible, sinful. Homosexuality, beastiality, adultery/fornication, etc. He in no way said that homosexuality leads to beastiality.
