'Duck Dynasty' Under Fire Following Star's Incendiary Anti-Gay Remarks

Intellectual Integrity...

I see you have the wiki/google definition. Though I am interested in the concept of 'intellectual-ness'. I remember one of the blinkered creatures from the CE&P Cesspit accused me of being an 'intellectual' because I used the word 'shostakovitch'.

I still can't fathom what he meant.

I was speaking of intellectual integrity. That means not refusing to agree that grass is green just because it's the grass on the lawn of a neighbor you dislike.

It has nothing to do with "intellectualness." Stop deflecting.

^ I think I'm quibbling with the wiki/google definition. Can one have anatomical integrity, visceral integrity, neurological integrity, Barcelonan integrity, Los Angelean integrity, I ask myself.

Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) is at it again.

Although he apologized for his earlier hateful remarks against homosexuality (in December 2013), he has since renewed his rant against gays. Video has emerged from a sermon he delivered Easter Sunday:

"You want the verse? The news media didn’t even know it was a verse! They thought I was just mouthing off. Is homosexual behavior a sin? The guy asked me. I said, do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived... Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

That's awfully amusing that he seems to exclude female prostitutes from his list of the "sexually immoral." I wonder how many he hires at any given time.

I will never understand the religious.

Is he still on fire

Sorry couldn't resist.

Well, that was expected - like waving meat in front of a crocodile, sooner or later it's going to bite.

Um, I guess you weren't paying attention -- it wasn't his list.

I couldn't tell if it was an actual hat or a headband or what, but either way you're right.

Though maybe where he comes from, that's the equivalent of a bishop's hat.

 

[Kulindahr]

He really could use reading some of the early church fathers -- there are some obvious mistakes he holds to that they dealt with clear back then.


OTOH, with a bit of grounding and understanding, he could be one heck of a preacher.

There's almost nothing in there about gays, so it's hard to call it a "rant".
