Oops! Keep having problems posting. Figure it’s to do with iPads, but the article was titled Faith, not Religion.
2. Nothing Phil said was offensive unless you believe the word of God is offensive.
But the activity he was commenting on, isn't?
Robertson's remarks were only "offensive" in that the language he used was slightly coarse. But the disgusting activity he was describing cannot be described in any other way than offensively-- unless you don't mention it at all, which is what "gays" and their supporters count on. And the fact remains that he didn't say anything that wasn't true or wasn't his own stated opinion based on his experience. To people who object to what he replied when he was asked a straightforward question, I would ask them two questions:
1. What exactly did he say that wasn't true?
2. If you don't like the way he characterized homosexual sex, how would YOU describe it?
Words and opinions are not inherently offensive. Some people CHOOSE to be offended, or not.
I won’t repeat Robertson’s remarks because they are offensive.
Then you really have no clue what this is about. Nothing Robertson said was offensive, beyond the fact that it was a truth that a certain militant minority objects to..
Ther are many truths I personally disagree with but to call them all offensive would be childish...
I won’t repeat Robertson’s remarks because they are offensive.

They were offensive to those sinners he was speaking of,
To others the remarks were only the truth.
This is exactly what the homosexuals want---not just to legally practice homosexuality but to be free from criticism of their homosexuality.
A few days ago, HuffPo Religion posted their take on the Daily Mail article from the weekend - it was really skewed.
So, I get on their forum to set the record straight (pun intended),
By last night, they moved the article to their Gay Voices forum - victory!
So do I.
Right off the bat she calls the Bible offensive.
I notice that the Muslims don’t put up with homosexuality. As Pat Buchanan has pointed out, “in the four dozen nations that are predominantly Muslim, same-sex marriage is not even on the table.”
Funny how the liberal set is tying itself up in self contradiction at whatever level it tries to talk about the matter!
Could it be this is how God is going to bring this nonsense down in confusion? And these rednecks are just going to be standing here grinning at it.
Says won’t repeat his words because they are offensive. The Bible makes it clear that to those that are lost and dying that the words of the Bible are an offense. Thus, this person is a non-believer who rejects the words of the Bible, which is what the guy was quoting. He simply quoted scripture.
