'Duck Dynasty' star calls homosexuality a 'sin,' groups gays with terrorists

"Duck Dynasty's" Phil Robertson just lost any potential fans in the LGBT community. In a shocking interview with GQ, the A&E reality star, 67, makes plain his thoughts on homosexuality.

"Everything is blurred in what's right and wrong," he complained. "Sin becomes fine." The Louisiana-based entrepreneur clarified: "Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there — bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."

The devout Christian then paraphrased a biblical passage: "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won't inherit the kingdom of God ... Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."

Despite those comments, Robertson claimed he doesn't judge. "We never, ever judge someone on who's going to heaven, hell. That's the Almighty's job," he told GQ. "We just love 'em, give 'em the good news about Jesus — whether they're homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort 'em out later, you see what I'm saying?"

so honey boo boo is actually more mature than these guys.

i think the honey boo boo crowd are more like those who watch those stupid talk shows about whose the baby's dad and other crap.

but i think the people who watch duck dynasty have more of the religious conservative types.

honeyboo boo is still viewed as a joke and trash tv.

but the media has made the duck dynasty crowd out to be some good ole folks that make us laugh and are just good people.

Bestiality? Of course. The first thought a person has after having sex with a human being is, "Hrm... that dog looks appealing."

People have been sleeping around for a long time. Nobody had to approve of homosexuality for that to happen.

Yes and when you descend to heaven and enter the Pearly Gates, and standing before you is GOD, The Almighty, and she turns out to be a big black lesbian, then WTF are you and your fucking ducks going to do?

and his family seems to not be able to make enough money as their faces are stuck on everything at Walmart, a corporation consumed by greed in its own right, so maybe he needs to look at that plank in his own eye before he examines anybody's else's life.

Certainly not all of them are bad, but shitstains like this spend a good part of their life fucking up and then suddenly have a come-to-Jesus moment somewhere around rock bottom, then they spend the rest of their life telling others how to live theirs. It's as if they substitute one form of dumbshittery for another.

crosses are getting burned, and no deranged gunmen are shooting kids in schools, during those hours that conservatives are busy watching Duck Dynasty.
