Why be surprised at the backlash to what Phil Robertson said? The world has never liked being called out on sin. Satan the deceiver will never simply roll over. This isn't a new concept. Each and every individual chooses their path. To be afraid to share the gospel because the message is bitter to the unrepentant is not the path Jesus called us to take. Love the sinner by preaching the word, it isn't you they are rejecting, Phil can't take it personal when Satan shoots the messenger, it is the way of the world.
And for the Robertson's the test is do they believe what they preach or not? The money that has come their way is more likely to turn into a curse for their family than a blessing.
2 Thessalonians Chapter 1:
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure, 5 which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer; 6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe,[a] because our testimony among you was believed.11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen to Phil Robertson!
I think I would have pointed out that this was "equal access" to the networks for a different point of view. In response to all those shows that condone homosexuality etc. If shows like Modern Family, Grace, and those talk show hosts, are continued, even though they might offend folks what difference does his private opinion make? While I am not as blunt or graphic as Mr. Robertson, our society is equating "tolerance" with "acceptance." Our tolerance of others who have different opinions and beliefs should not require that we accept the other's beliefs or premises. It is apparent that there is currently a great chasm between what people believe are "Christian Values."
Hmmm to halt his appearance on the shows seems quite UN-Christian in and of itself.
You wanna be gay? Then be gay. You wanna be a rock star? Then be a rock star. You want to go to heaven? Then follow the way. You want to go to hades? Then I'm certain you can find a way. Whether or not anyone else believes you are going to heaven or **** is just their opinion. Whether one prefers female genitalia over a man's poop shoot is their choice. But don't force your beliefs on me. I might fight for your right to exercise your freedoms, but don't expect me to adopt your method of exercising those freedoms or even approve of all your reasons behind your method of exercising them.
Merry Christmas All!

You know...I just don't see Phil suing anybody - especially over this.

Also,
Be sure to read the original article that set off the reactions. Not a very good article overall, but, if you read it all you can see how this is being spun out of proportion.

I hope some of the posters here, were not the ones calling for a ban on the Dixie Chick albums. You know, when they exercised their first amendment rights.
Although I disagree with what he said, I do believe he has every right to say it. There are however, consequences to the things we say.

I dropped an email on A&E too; seems the only people that don't have 1st Amendment Rights anymore in this country are Christians!

Yep - I was kind of thinking the same thing. I at least think it would send a message for freedom of religion and beliefs - he could donate the money to a cause he believes in.

Never have watched the show.....then again....I have found most reality shows to be trash. With that said.....I think this guy has a right to express his opinion.....he's just paying for it because he was under contract which protects the TV station. Fans do not need to worry........the backlash from this suspension will ensure that another network will soon air another show with ole Phil that caters to racist, homophobic and pseudo-religious beliefs. Hard to pass up those ratings........

While i seriously doubt it, if they did they would be outnumbered by the in your face pro gay, anti Christian shows about 10/1.
