'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson under fire for graphic anti-atheist speech
Fox News ^ | 3/25/15

"Duck Dynasty's" Phil Robertson has come under fire once again, this time for a speech he made about a hypothetical atheist family at an annual prayer breakfast in Florida on Friday.

Robertson described a graphic scenario while sharing his thoughts on those who do not believe in God.

"Two guys break into an atheist's home," Robertson began. "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 'em and they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And 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?'

"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 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, they probably would say, 'Something about this just ain't right.'"

Many took to Twitter to voice their disapproval once recordings of Robertson's speech made their way onto the Internet.

Mr. Robertson pissing off the left once again by calling it the way he sees it. And frankly, it's the way I see it, too.

Decapitated her head??? As opposed to decapitating some other part?

Of course, Mr. Robertson is right. If man WERE the measure of all things, then there would be no objective right or wrong, because everything would be relative to the perspective of the observer, just an in Einsteinian thought experiments. But God is the equivalent of the Speed of Light: An ABSOLUTE entity, against which everything else must be measured.

Atheists are fascists. They all are in honeyed words preaching the mutual exclusiveness of science and God. Robertson was more frank and honest, and, note, he never told atheists they could not try be anything they wanted. He only portraid a criminal exploiting the naivete of the atheist.

Some nobody tweets their opinion and that’s news? I’m talking about the responses on Twitter to Phil Robertson’s speech. I’m noticing a trend here: leftists don’t like Christian, white men who actually believe what the Bible says and isn’t afraid to repeat what the Bible says. Fine, I don’t really like them either. Wyatt Grondin and John Pavlovitz, Let’s split up. You can have Obamastan where Marie Harf employs her nasally voice propagandize the virtues the Jobs for Jihadis program. We can have America back.

I have a quite similar thought experiment for those who think they’re pacifists. They almost never are, they’re just people who like to pretend to themselves they are.

I bring that up on liberal sites from time to time. They think I’m sick and twisted that I need to believe in God in order to not be a raving lunatic. They intentionally miss the point.

I’m getting to where I no longer believe we should work really hard to convince a person to come to Christ. Many are called but few are chosen. If someone is chosen, no amount of convincing is necessary. Merely presenting the gospel is all that is required. And then it is up to them.

In his rather blunt and artless way, he is merely stating the case against moral relativism. If there is no final Judge of Right and Wrong, then what is to prevent anyone from doing whatever they want?

He’s right.

The left is quite uncomfortable when you point out the consequences of their philosophy in plain language.

“They all are in honeyed words preaching the mutual exclusiveness of science and God.”

Except when they are demanding scientific evidence to support one’s belief in God, like the hypocrites that they are.

Not going to win over anyone with this method. Don't picture Christ cheering on his examples.

Especially when the same outcome holds true for the culprit in Phil's example and a man who goes thru life without so much as jaywalking but still never accepts Christ as his savior.

It seems to be impossible to get the leftists angry about ISIS doing all these things but Mr. Robertson isn’t allow to even talk about them.
