Sigh. Writing about the stupid shit Pat Robertson says is just one of those habits that I can't break. He just makes it so easy.
And, if you've read Hunter's diary, this is another Pat Robertson comment involving vomit. Robertson is really into the vomit as of late.
Once again, Robertson is all riled up about the gays. This time, he was provoked by a question from a viewer of the 700 Club. The question asked:
When we "like" things on Facebook, if it's something that goes against what is written in the Bible--such as pictures of same-sex couples--is that considered condoning the behavior? How do you explain this to new Christians or youth?
Because with all the poverty, hunger, and violence in the world, what we should
really be concerned about is what God thinks of our Facebook activity. That is, after all, what Pat Robertson's God is most worried about.
Robertson began his response by reminding us that he is not personally "one who switches on likes in face books" (you really couldn't even write a character as woefully uninformed, antiquated, and out-of-touch as this guy). He may not know what the hell he's talking about when it comes to Facebook, but he sure does have an opinion: that, by "liking" a picture of a same-sex couple, you're saying, "Yes, I like this kind of thaaang" (emphasis added).
In other words, don't even think of liking that picture of the gay kiss, or you will go that fiery pit. God is watching.
But he took his response a step further. We are, after all, talking about Pat Robertson. He then felt the need to explain that, rather than liking a picture of a same-sex couple, he would vomit. In fact, he added with a chuckle, he'd like to push the "vomit" button. Ol' Pat was really proud of that one, as evidenced by his satisfied cackling.
Here's his full response:
Well, I'm not one who switches on likes in face books, it's hard to say, but what you're saying is, "Yes, I like this kind of thing." You've got a couple of same-sex guys kissing, you like that. Well that makes me want to throw up...to me, I would punch "vomit," not "like." [major giggles] They don't give you that option on Facebook.

Well, if you're into "switching on likes in face books," here's the 700 Club's Facebook page. Now that we can post pictures in comments, maybe it's time for the admins to get a workout deleting pictures of same-sex couples.
