Jesus Wouldn’t Bake Gay Wedding Cake, Says Pat Robertson

[William769]

Jesus wouldn't have baked a cake for a same-sex wedding because the couple would have been stoned to death before the ceremony could take place, says the televangelist.

Jesus is said to have turned water into wine at a (presumably) straight wedding — but he wouldn’t have baked a cake for a gay one because the betrothed couple would have been stoned to death before they could marry, says right-wing televangelist Pat Robertson.

Robertson made the remark today on The 700 Club, his long-running TV show, after a report on a baker in Colorado who was found guilty of antigay discrimination for refusing to supply a cake for a same-sex wedding.

“I think you got to remember from the Bible, if you look carefully at the Bible, what would have happened in Jesus’ time if two men decided they wanted to cohabit together, they would have been stoned to death,” Robertson said. “So Jesus would not have baked them a wedding cake nor would he have made them a bed to sleep in because they wouldn’t have been there.”

LGBT people, Robertson added, have “become the oppressors of those who hold deeply held religious points of view.” He also said the devil is behind acceptance of homosexuality and abortion because both “deny the reproduction of human species.”

4. Jesus was a carpenter, not a baker

but if he didn't bake a cake he could always supply the wine!

[John Poet]

5. Of course not, Pat.

No, Jesus wouldn't have baked them a cake.

He was a carpenter, for Christ sake.

But about the stoning thing--
there was something about that in the gospels, seems to me--
about when Jesus stopped the crowd from stoning the adulterous woman
with the words,
'let those without sin cast the first stone' (paraphrased)

So why wouldn't he have stopped the stoning in this case, Pat?

AND, since when is wanting to get married a SIN?
(guess there's a lot of married people living in sin, eh Pat?)

Excellent post, I agree 100%.

8. Another loon that thinks he knows the mind of his god.

I'm not sure what came first, the huge money rolling in that makes these religious con-men types all insane, or that they're all nuts to begin with.

9. So, Pat...correct me if my logic is off...

He might have baked them a cake, but he decided to not waste his time baking a cake for a soon to be dead couple.

or...

He might have built them a house, but he decided to not waste his time building a house for a soon to be dead couple.

So really what you are saying is that one of Jeebus's supernatural powers was efficiency, right?

12. Mr. Slave-labor diamond mining pharisee...Reverend Pat

Since you have dedicated your life to telling us what Jesus says and supposedly believes...
Whatever happened to: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

Why are you, a man of God, so hateful and bigoted when Jesus was so loving and accepting? Why?
Did your love of money (diamond mining) cloud your love of God and His true word?

13. Of Course He Woudln't!

He was a carpenter, not a baker! Jesus would happily have built the happy gay couple a new house, or a table, or something like that. Oh, and he'd definitely be bringing the wine.

[Generic Brad]

15. I thought it would be because he was a carpenter

Carpenters don't usually dabble in confections.

16. If I could turn water into wine

or get somebody to bring a tiny piece of cake and turn it into enough to feed the entire wedding reception, why would I bake a cake?

Of course Pat Robertson could just be a stupid useless pathetic excuse for a human being seeking to justify his own hate behind religious doctrine while ignoring the letter and the spirit of the religious doctrine he so loudly proclaims to follow.

Speaking as an atheist, I'm glad that many Christians, and those of other faiths, don't believe the Robertsons of the world.

You better watch it Pat, I hear Satan is having a dickens of time finding a roommate for Fred. Do you want him has your bunkmate?

20. I wish these nutjobs would keep their bronze age mythologies to themselves.

They can have their religion in their homes and churches, but let the rest of us live in the 21st century.
