Orlando shootings are 'God's punishment' for same-sex marriage, claims US TV evangelist Pat Robertson - 50 dead and over 50 injured in shooting

The homophobic preacher said “at least no or very few normal people were killed”, adding: “I think it’s a good thing it all happened here”

High profile and homophobic conservative televangelist Pat Robertson sparked fury after saying the Orlando nightclub shooting was God’s punishment for allowing same sex marriage in the States.

Wearing slippers and a bathrobe while being interviewed after flying in from Virginia on his private jet, he said: “I don’t even need to tell you what all of this means.

“This is how God is punishing us for the shameful SCOTUS (The Supreme Court of the United States) ruling on same-sex marriage, a catastrophic piece of legislature that I have so vigorously attempted to shoot down.”

He added that “at least no or very few normal people were killed,” before saying “When something like this happens, and I believe this was the first of many attacks, you start to realise how much real Americans care about their country and its future.

“Because, if you ask me, I totally get the guy who did this. I’m not defending him or anything, but I understand what drove him to such an act.

“This establishment was a lair of fornication and blasphemy, and if I’m honest, I think it’s a good thing it all happened here.”

“The fact that I’m here at the scene and that none of the Supreme Court Justices bothered to show up is proof enough of how little they care about what happens to the citizens of this country,” Robertson then argued.

“And that is why God will punish them for legitimising sodomy, and reward me and others like me for condemning it. It has already started, tonight is proof enough of that.

“What other evidence do we need? God is angry and we are suffering the consequences. Well, some of us, at least.”

“Not only do I oppose the disease of homosexualism, I also eat healthy, drink protein shakes and work out every day, despite of my age. I can lift 1,000 pounds, for crying out loud. And above all else – I love women.

“And that is why God saw fit to allow me to have my own TV show, my own private jet, my own little empire.

“Because I believe in him and because I live by His code. And to those who choose the dark path, God will continue to send once-normal people who have had enough, like he has done tonight.

“But it is not too late yet. Repent and change your evil ways, and He will forgive you,” Robertson urged yet again.

Two hours after the siege ended, a Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick posted an image of Bible verse Galatians 6:7 which says: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows”.
Twitter users responded angrily to the post.

Star Trek actor and activist George Takei tweeted: “You are a disgrace to your state in this time of national sorrow. You should resign.”

Sadly (and disgustingly), a search or an update on the Orlando shooting in the gay bar in Flordia also takes us to the comments of the homophobic Prime Minister of Fiji, Frank Bainimarama:

Intense intolerance - extremism/ hatred - and violence have a natural affinity. They go hand in hand. The Orlando gunman is one variant. Bainimarama the Fijian gunman is another, not particularly different. Bainimarama is not averse to violence against his fellow countrymen.

As for Frank, they came into the barracks so what did they expect. Gabbar kya shaabashi dega!

He was still the Commander. The final bastian of law, isn't it? So it must have been friendly fire, or error of judgement, hence compensation to family would help family end that chapter.

Here's something to think about :
" What's unnatural is homophobia. Homo sapiens is the only species in all of nature that responds with hate to homosexuality"- Alex Sanchez ( born 1957 ) is a Mexican-American author of award winning novels for teens and adults. His first novel, Raibow Boys (2001) was selected by the American Library Association as a Best Book for Young Adults ( read more about him in Wikipedia ).

Why shouldn't he? Aren't gays fellow human beings who bleed when shot by a hate filled " normal" man just like any other human beings?
What's your problem? The same hatred for gays as the Orlando killer?

@ Socho

It has now come to light that the Orlando killer was a regular visitor to the Club and that he had Gay contact Apps on his mobile.

Assuming he too was gay, we can conclude that some '... hate filled gay people are also happy to kill fellow human beings who bleed when shot....etc".

Please stop sheeting the blame on to us 'normal' people.

For all the bible bashers. Sin is not categorised as any less sin than another. And oh there is also the well know bible verse of ; Do not judge others or you yourself shall be judged! Besides take out the spec from your eyes first....least we forget!

Maybe this is why Pat Robertson said to repent and the unnatural marriage should never have materialised to get the attention it has been getting.

This is a group target even if the killer had a grudge maybe he was rejected by someone he loved amongst the gay group that were in the bar. So he used this anti Muslim ISIS role to target a group that was going to make an impact.

Further information may shed a better understanding of the motive.

Thank you Mr PM. I wonder if Shamima Ali knows anything about God or not.I'm urging her to stop talking like a foolish women, because I admired her work as an advocate for the rights of all the women. What does same sex marriage is going to prove? What are we trying to do here? Am I going to tell my children that it is right to do so? Think please! Whose idea on earth is the same sex marriage ? Yours ? Theirs? Gods' ?Is that what you want really? Is that Womens Ctrsis Center is all about? Equality of all human being and the fundamental principle of a family, which consist of a man and a women?

If Pat Robertson would really be a true human being which he is not, in my opinion he is a fraud and an insult to anyone who believes in the bible, he would have never said that! I am sure, he lives very comfortably ina big mansion with private jet and Rolex watch and probably laughs his ass of for having stupid people believing his and his other 700 club idiot co members lies ! How can any human with s small pea brain believe any of this shit these Tv evangelists try to sell them? There is this other tv E who was born in Germany who sells Hole Water on TV in an infomercial........this should be outlawed because it has nothing to do with freedow of religion but is nothing but fraud and unfortunatly, too many people need people like them to tell them lies so they feel like they are closer to god! Fuck you Pat and all other TV evangelists! I am a straight born and raised catholic and am sure if Jesus would have been gay which he could have been, we will never know, you thinking might be different! I salute all gay people for coming out because to me they are as human as I am but you TV Ev's are just a puece of crap I would flush down the toulet if I could! By the way, how much do you make a year from all of these dumb people belueving your crap and give you money? Do you pay taxes! I think not, go and die because the world would be a better place without you and ISIS!
Beat,
Ev
