Pat Robertson: ‘Keep your mouth shut’ after having sex with transsexuals

By David Edwards
Monday, February 17, 2014 15:41 EST

Televangelist Pat Robertson has some advice for men who have sex with transsexual women: “Keep your mouth shut.”

On Monday’s edition of CBN’s The 700 Club, a viewer told Robertson that he felt guilty because he had never told his wife that he had a transsexual girlfriend before they were married.

“Before I met my wife, I fell in love with a beautiful woman and had a relationship for six months,” the man said. “We broke up after she told me she was transsexual.”

“What should I do?” he asked.

“What you should do is keep your mouth shut,” Robertson advised. “That’s real simple. You know, all of us did stuff before we were married, but you don’t parade out all your girlfriends or your boyfriends or your sexual encounters or whatever you did. You just don’t do it.”

“You come to Jesus, he had forgiven you,” he added. “That’s the old life, now you’ve turned the page.”

Another viewer wanted to know how she was supposed to “honor” her mother as the Bible instructed if her mother was a Wiccan and practiced witchcraft.

Robertson told the viewer that having a mother who was a Wiccan was a lot like having a mother who would sell a child as a prostitute.

“I think if a parent goes into witchcraft, goes into unlawful behavior, they’re trying to get their child to sell drugs, for example, or they want to get their daughter to engage in prostitution, you name it,” he opined. “I think they have lost their authority before the Lord. I think they are no longer in that position deserving honor.”

What an embarrassment to carbon-based life forms he is.

Got Ken Ham all hot and bothered.

I think we should put all these fundie Christians in a padded room and let them duke it out.

They hate each other for not being "true believers" with the "one true interpretation" of the scriptures as much as they do liberals and non-Christians, it would seem.

If his follower's heads didn't explode I'm sure his ratings were good.

Have you noticed he continues to go back to sexual subjects, is this all he thinks about?

"Robertson told the viewer that having a mother who was a Wiccan was a lot like having a mother who would sell a child as a prostitute."

And how many children go hungry because their stupid parents donated their money to that shithead money whore Robertson?

12. That headline is hysterical, but not exactly accurate...

More accurate would be "Robertson: 'Don't tell your wife about prior relationships'. (Especially when your girlfriend turned out to be transsexual.)"

Forget about if she was transgendered. It don't matter if was Miley Cyrus. You create problems where there are none by opening your mouth.
