It is so hypocritical that the TV networks are so quick to condemn Phil Robertson, a Christian that speaks openly and truthfully about his faith and what the Bible teaches is a sin, but they open their arms wide to a President that has lied to us over and over again for years. They preach acceptance of everyone, but are the first to shut down first amendment speech rights to those that don't follow their so-called politically and socially correct agenda.If you haven't heard, Phil Robertson, one of the stars of Duck Dynasty was suspended by the A&E Cable Network because he openly admitted to GC magazine during an interview that he thought homosexuality was a sin. This is the same belief that me and millions of other Christians around the world believe. They act as if this is some crazy nut that is speaking gibberish. The only difference between Phil Robertson and most other people is he has the guts to speak his mind and tell the truth. Most other people would 'sugarcoat' the subject and may at most only say they don't agree with homosexuality.
Phil Robertson quoted the Bible verse that says, "... the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders" (1 Corinthians 6:9).
Phil Robertson also said, "I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior, My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”
I believe any Christian that believes the Bible is God's Holy Word and must be interpreted as written; no matter if it doesn't go along with what society believes is "socially correct" must stand with Phil Robertson and let the liberal entertainment industry know that we will not put up with this kind of religious intolerance.
Phil Robertson did absolutely nothing wrong! He had the courage to say what most Christians and many Americans wish they too had the courage to say.
Americans should boycott all A&E programs until Phil Robertson is taken off suspension and apologizes for stomping on his 1st Amendment Rights!
