When a 700 Club viewer asked Pat why polygamy was a thing in the days of the Old Testament, Pat explains to his viewers why polygamy was OK then, but isn't today. Of course, Pat's same logic explains why because homosexuality was banned thousands of years ago in a Bronze Age magic book, it should be prohibited today...
Pat Robertson, amateur gynecologist, first cites biology, saying that women get pregnant and carry the baby for an entire year, yet men can fling with countless women at the same time. Because single women back in the day faced poverty, abuse and other horrors, it was OK for multiple women to shack up with a single man.
See, it wasn't wrong when David just went and claimed King Saul's multiple wives, and shagged them all at the same time. God said it was His gift, so it was OK.
It was of course when Jesus came along that polygamy became no longer OK.
So. Polygamy was OK back in the Old Testament - what happens in Ancient Judea stays in Ancient Judea. But it's no longer OK in today's time. Which is why Marriage must be Protected, or polygamy will become legal again!
So let me get this straight. Polygamy was OK back in the day, but times change, so it's no longer OK. At the same time, because some ancient goat-herder wrote in the Magic Book that God hates queers four thousand years ago, because that Magic Book is perfect and inviolable, that means we can't adjust for our times, pull our heads out of our asses, and protect civil rights for the LGBTQIA+ community today?
Let me ask you a question, Pat, and I say it with all due respect.
Were you born this fucking stupid, or did you have to take lessons?
Wait, he took lessons. They're called seminary. Advanced, graduate level stupid lessons.
