Good news for Duck Dynasty's outspoken homophobe Phil Robertson, the Christians have your back.

Courtesy of WYFF:

Franklin Graham posted a statement on billygraham.org with the title, “I Support My Friend Phil Robertson”.

The statement said, “Phil Robertson’s desire is to see all men and women repent—that is to turn from their sin and follow Christ in obedience. Indeed, that’s his own story, as he freely shares. This is my desire too. We live in a culture that openly supports and promotes sin against God. While Phil Robertson is not anyone’s judge—God is, and will judge all sin. Jesus Christ came to this earth to save sinners, which includes me. I have appreciated the Robertson family’s commitment to biblical values, and that they have not backed down in a politically-correct world that is tolerant of everything except biblical standards and values. I pray that we would be a nation where we can disagree civilly while holding firm convictions. I support my friend Phil Robertson.”

Hey if it's in the Bible than how can the Christians NOT support it right?


Well that is certainly the thinking of the Westboro church people, who ALSO have come out in support of Phil Robertson:

The Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket the A&E cable network in support of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson after A&E suspended Robertson from his hit show for using his Christian faith to justify some disturbing and offensive anti-gay remarks.

According to a report issued Dec. 21 by Raw Story, the Westboro Baptist Church will be picketing A&E on February 1, 2014 because, it claims, “F*gs run A&E!”

The Westboro Baptist Church, a notorious Christian hate group, joins other Christian hate groups, such as the Family Research Council, in supporting Robertson’s controversial and demonizing characterizations of LGBT people.

Well now isn't THAT interesting? Remember, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I would like to point out that this whole accepting the gays thing is just the latest moment in history where the Christians have been pulled kicking and screaming into the future. The Bible was also used to argue against working on Sundays, freeing the slaves, and allowing women to vote.

Progress and equality does not occur BECAUSE of religion, it occurs in spite of it.
