Pat Robertson’s crazy talk about gay marriage

My mom used to watch The 700 Club every morning and Pat Robertson seemed like such a nice guy. Well, he’s not. He’s the devil and he’s jumped the shark in the gay marriage debate. Fortunately, he’s preaching to the choir on the Christian Broadcasting Network when he tries to use the ridiculous old slippery slope arguments used decades ago in the fight against interracial marriage:

“We haven’t taken this to its ultimate conclusion. You got polygamy out there. How can we rule that polygamy is illegal when you say that homosexual marriage is legal. What is it about polygamy that’s different? Well, polygamy was outlawed because it was considered immoral according to biblical standards. But if we take biblical standards away in homosexuality, what about the other? And what about bestiality and ultimately what about child molestation and pedophilia? How can we criminalize these things and at the same time have constitutional amendments allowing same-sex marriage among homosexuals. You mark my words, this is just the beginning in a long downward slide in relation to all the things that we consider to be abhorrent.”

Pat, I consider YOU abhorrent.
