Marriage Advice from Pat Robertson and Others

People advise some of the craziest things!!!

     Sometimes you just cannot help but to laugh at some of the crazy sit religious folk advise when it comes to marriage. Here is a short collection of some pretty funny stuff. Keep in mind I have included a small smattering of non-religious clips. I hope you enjoy these!

Ahhh, the sanctity of marriage according to the Bible! Go run and get your scriptures and let us check this stuff out!!! Seriously. Go and get a Bible or go to a website where you can check this stuff out for yourself. Sooo, if the Bible is the final authority on marriage should marriage today follow these practices?

Dude! Pat Robertson calls this woman a LOSER and then tells her she is not marriage material. LOVELY. Doesn't he just make the best counselor ever? He does make a few points like the woman is making her own hell on earth with her poor marriage choices, sure, but he offers no real advice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytUXEW2RKxA


What kind of woman makes good "wife material"? If you want to know just ask Pat Robertson. How about what makes a good man to marry? Pat suggests a Christian woman leave her atheist man since he would be serving the devil and she would be serving God. Yikes.

Haahaaha!!! You just gotta love these Betty Bowers videos on marriage!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU7hxJfTKOI


What is marriage as defined by the Bible? How many times is marriage even discussed in the Bible? With as many times as marriage is discussed in the Bible you might think that it must be really REALLY important to God. Hah! Take a peek...

Oh look! How is THIS for marriage advice. Old Grampy Pat Robertson says it is OKAY to marry your first cousin. WTF? Then he goes on to mention watching out for making jacked-up babies because something might be wrong with the genes. This is so very fucked up I don't know what else should be said here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdX3bnotX6k


This was just so funny I had to include it even though it has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9X7G9-2PRc


Sooo, what about oral sex in a marriage? Well some moron asks Pat Robertson if oral sex is okay. Surprise, surprise!!! He says it is okay. Holy freaking shit!!! Pat Robertson says oral sex is okay...depending on what is in your mind at the time. Hummm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrU59B_pxfM


Here is another funny tidbit I found totally necessary to include with this posting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAhmfi5qA_8


Well, well, well. This sister of the crock-o-duck creator, Kirk Cameron, gives her two pence on what she thinks is good marriage advice. Well, I suppose if it works for her, it works for her. How in the hell can she be so surprised that what she said raised so much controversy? Ditz...just like her brother.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyoeCnbe_TA


This Duck Dynasty fellow is a real work of art. Listen to his "advice" to young men for looking for a good woman to marry. So fucking stupid. Marry a girl at 15 or 16? Sicko.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_YchVeJs50


Sooo, this 17 year old kid asks Pat Robertson for marriage advice to help his parents. What does Pat do? First, Pat says to get them out of the house on a nice romantic vacation. That actually sounds like good advice. BUT, then Pat suggests that it is the mother's fault, even stating that it was "easy" to blame the mother.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuLBGUcR2b4


WTF?! Douche-bag Pat Robertson gives some of the WORST marriage advice here when telling a man to divorce his wife who has...well, you watch it and perhaps you will be as disgusted as I was.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qt_JCnRdCQ


What if the marriage advice you are seeking does not have to do with your own marriage? What if it has to do with your gays sister getting married and she wants for you to be one of her bridesmaids? What would Pat Robertson say to do? What is the will of God concerning this?

This response to another YouTube video in regards to marriage in the Bible is pretty interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW7EIzcgpIk


Pat Robertson should really stop TRYING to give advice.

What Does God Do to Gays? Part II

If God is Who many of the cynically delusional in religion claim Him to be, then God has LOTS of ideas as to how to mistreat gays, right?

According to some of those who would assert that the Holy Bible is absolutely true God is responsible for everything that happens. Everything. Blessings, punishments...EVERYTHING. Nothing happens without God's say so since everything is a part of His fantabulous plan, which of course was formed and approved by God's planning committee consisting of He, Him, and Himself. ANY and ALL punishment for all things 'sinful' are by God's supposed divine Will. It all boils down to this: If someone is punished for their sins...well, that is simply how it is going to be. It doesn't matter how it was done or who it was by, or whether or not it was something terrible and crappy and totally fucked up since God purposely allowed it to happen in order to punish them for their wicked ways. I see.

Sooo...I was thinking that the clips from the first part of this particular discussion were bad enough, right? Well, apparently God has lots of ideas as to how to mistreat gays. Notice that God does not say specifically to do this or that, but He sure as fuck does not stop any of His folks or ANYONE for that matter (or Himself) from some of the terrible things done to gays whilst in fits of intense homophobic passions, does He? And, yes, it must be noted that all Christians are not homophobic and do not all hurt gays, and likewise not all homophobic people are Christian and not all homophobic people hurt gays in some form or other. Just gotta put that out there to be fair.


This man was murdered because he was gay. There are people who celebrated his death as judgment by God for being gay. Sickening. This human being was murdered because of his sexual preference. How is this punishment more important to God than killing those who kill other people, or who rape other people, or who commit adultery and other crimes? I thought it says in the Bible that all fall short of the glory of God? If that is the case...

How do you think this same East Indian politician would feel if the United States booted out all of the East Indian people who are here in the states and who are not Christian and who insist on practicing their cultural practices here? That would be immensely offensive to the people and their country and their sense of humanity. Where is this asshole's sense of humanity? Oh, that's right. He's an asshole.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LgEmjktVic



Sooo...does the police department involved here think that the gay bar and its patrons deserve less protection because they are gay? For Christ's sake! The place was getting damaged and people beaten! What the fuck more do you need to protect and serve? A straight dick and a cross?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PiGqwrfmOE


Some religious zealots and fundamentalists and literalists are dedicated to slippery slope thinking...big time. Oh, look! If you give gays any rights the earth will go up in a big ball of flame and the Tribulation will set upon man faster than ever! AAAAHHHH!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPBEZmuuPAw


Sooo...never mind the science of climate shift, but the mega hurricanes are really punishment from God because He is so pissed off with the sin of being gay that He decides to punish people who are NOT gay...by virtue of the weather? Who is being punished for what here? I am a lesbian. What the hell did Hurricane Sandy do to me? Why would someone else who is NOT a lesbian be punished for me being a lesbian? How does this work?

Uganda is one fucked up country. Hands down. We have our issues in the US, but damn. Uganda takes the cake. Actually, a LOT of countries in Africa take the cake.

See...it does not take much to feel hope and see hope and hear hope, right? Listen to what this woman has to say. Really listen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXvGX_odZ4I


Sooo...this total douchebag preacher suggests that if your little boy starts acting like a girl you should smack him around. Punch your kid? This guy is suggesting child abuse, advocating it.

Biblical Literalism


Danger, Danger Everywhere and So Many Who Wish to Drink

Biblical literalism is one of the more dangerous aspects of Christianity. What biblical literalism is is taking the words of the Bible and interpreting them in their most basic, literal sense. In case you didn't know this can be an extremely dangerous, destructive, stupid thing to do. Are there exceptions to this when it comes to things in the Bible? I would say yes. How? Well, consider what is said about love (the good things that are said about love), right? Love is patient and kind and conquers all. Or how about the verse that says there is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for his friend (John 15:13)? These are good things, good concepts and ideas. 

BUT...when it comes to things like stoning your kids when they are being brats (Deuteronomy 21:18), killing those who work on the Sabbath (Exodus 31:14), stoning a woman if her groom finds her to not be a virgin (Deuteronomy 22:13-29), killing adulterers (Leviticus 20:10), and more, the ramifications of taking these things literally and actually following them is really beyond reason, as well as beyond the message of love that is supposed to be what the Bible is all about.

Sooo...do the hard-nosed Christians of the world really follow the Bible literally as so many claim it should be followed? If the Bible IS supposed to be followed literally what should have happened to Jimmy Swaggart after he sought the services of prostitutes? Let us take a look at some biblical literalism video clips. Some of these are from non-Christians asking questions or simply venting, some are portions of documentaries, and some are from those within the faith themselves.


This man asks a very good question, right? How is it that so many Christian literalists pick and choose what it is they want to take literally from the Bible? How can they say the Bible is literal and then turn around and not follow everything? How does this work?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECgoQbJ88Yk


This is heartbreaking. What the hell is wrong with people? This woman found out first hand, in the most tragic of fashions what can happen when biblical literalism runs amok. Would you want this to happen to your daughter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnAjke3ZCQE


This is good stuff. Pay attention to the questions asked and fell free to post answers at the end of this posting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tJ37YH_uqM


Some of this is Children of the Corn creepy. Listen to what the minister who used to be a literalist has to say about context, language, culture, and custom. Very, very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf-0YQZlM9c


Did you know that the biblical literalism that is SO important to so many Christians is largely a North American phenomenon? I found that to be immensely interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkcC8FkS6Nc


Will those who decide to take the Bible literally really take the time to consider the questions like that which this man asks, or will they continue to be stout in their literalism (supposed literalism) in an effort to remain true and straight for God and their faith? Is this a wise thing to do? This literalism IS a cop-out, isn't it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCgBNm8L5P8


Biblical literalists are not really literalists, are they? If they were there would be a hell of a lot more people in jail than there are now. Are YOU a biblical literalist? If so, when will your next daily sacrifice to Yahweh be? Oh, Jesus took care of that for you? Sooo...then the Word of God doesn't stand forever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAJrMyq9-Q&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD


The old laws of the Old Testament should still apply since Jesus did say that He did NOT come to abolish the law, right? Explain this. I am sure there are at least three different ways I have heard this explained to me having grown up in a very Christian family. What other explanations can there be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjHD4QCPa60&list=PL25EAA618C5BB6ECD


Pay attention to what this man points out as being the definition of truth. Very good. And why is the King James version of the Bible one of the favorite interpretations for biblical literalists? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAktCtTMM58


Good stuff! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0XXEd1W0pw&list=PL4mXQHptk2LjeezTQqLS7D2sCed6wH3uj


Oh, yeah. Religion largely gets morality ALL wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEhP6FCjCkQ


God said to do this and to NOT do that. Sooo...how many people actually listen to the one and only true God that they love and actually follow through with ALL of these commands? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF3TRGh8lrc&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_


Well, three cheers for the Bible fudging up royally on the dates, times, places, and people involved in the supposed important events of one of the most popular religions ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5JpD6A3Tm4&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=2



Do you think that maybe the Bible has so many contradictions in it to help the dyslexic faithful of the universe to conform? I mean, if people do the opposite of what they are told to do (some people, that is), maybe by God saying something totally the opposite of what He really wants someone to do He will get them to do what they should be doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVpTzThdsds&list=PL4mXQHptk2LgdG3qgNWiSFkmg6scHTqN_&index=7
