Because sodomy came from Sodom… GET IT?
A hot stream of crazy spewed from Pat Robertson’s mouthhole — something about same sex marriage leading to angel rape, and the destruction of American civilization as we know it:
I think we need to remember the term sodomy came from a town known as Sodom and Sodom was destroyed by God Almighty and the thing that they practiced was homosexual activity and even they tried to rape angels who came down there, so that’s the kind of people they were. But beyond that, Jesus when He spoke of Sodom He didn’t say anything about the homosexuality he talked about just the fact that business was as usual until God decided to destroy it. And He sent an angel down there and He said to Lot and his family, ‘get out now because I’m gonna destroy this whole area.’ That’s where sodomy came from, we use the term sodomy and it means Sodom. What’s it like? We’re heading that way as a nation. In history there’s never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn’t one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, “what’s going to happen to America?” Well if history is any guide, the same thing’s going to happen to us.
…
It’s not a pretty world we live in right now, and we need all of God’s help we can get. And I don’t think we are not exactly setting ourselves up for His favor.
Somebody get this man his pudding. He’s getting agitated.

I really try never to wish misfortune or bad stuff on anyone. But I will be glad when these old fogeys die off. And I’m old – well kind of.
I go to and enjoy church, but Pat and those like him make me furious. So the men in Sodom wanted to know the two visitors/angels. What does Lot do? Offers the men his two virgin daughters!!! I guess that part of the story is a-ok with Pat.
Here is what Ezekiel 16:48-49 tell us: “This is the sin of Sodom; she and her suburbs had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not help or encourage the poor and needy. They were arrogant and this was abominable in God’s eyes.”

It geos without saying that Pat Robertson is a total asshat.
The link you privide was great, Starshine….thanks for that.
Don’t you wonder why they didn’t name any sort of sin after Gomorrah?
Suggestions, anyone?
I’m trying to recall if there was ever a civilization that survived, with or without teh gay.

I couldn’t keep watching after the “rape angels” part. Robertson needs to be put on medication. Something that keeps him very drowsy and quiet until it’s time to go meet the winged rape victims in the sky. Ok, that sounds really bad. I mean the angels that he was referring to, in case that comes off as bad as it sounds.
