Televangelist Pat Robertson claimed
Monday that “the gays want to control everything.”
Robertson, an ardent opponent of gay
rights, made his remarks during The 700 Club's Bring It
On-Line segment, in which he answers viewers' questions.
“If same sex couples, especially
those who are married, claim they are Christians, how can they
continue to live this lifestyle? As a Christian, if they read the
Bible they should know the Bible's definition of marriage is only
between a man and a woman. Please help me understand,” a viewer
wrote.
Robertson, who previously claimed that
gays
will die out because they don't reproduce, said it was about
political correctness.
“The gays want to control everything.
This is part of the left-wing agenda to do way with Christian values
and to substitute for Christian values the progressive concepts of
morality,” he
said.
“If you show me one couple that
conceived a child through anal intercourse, just show me one in all
the world and I will say, 'I agree with you and you are right.' Show
me one. There are 8 billion people, 7 billion, show me one time when
a child was conceived by that kind of sexual activity.”
“It is unnatural. I'm sorry,” he
added.
