>> Pat Robertson, who is a bit of religious zealot who's also on television for some weird
reason, has strong feelings about the Equality Act.
The Equality Act was something that was reintroduced by Democrats in Congress.
And it's a bill that aims to provide federal protections for the LGBT community.
Because believe it or not, right now, there are no protections on a federal level for
the LGBT community.
Just because they got the right to get married doesn't mean that they're included in anti
discrimination laws on a federal level.
Now, the idea of this getting past worries Pat Robertson and here's what he has to say.
>> This is a devastating blow to religious freedom and to the sanctity of America.
If you wanna bring the judgment of God on this nation, you just keep this stuff up.
I was reading in Leviticus where it said because of these things, the land will vomit you out.
Vomit you out, I think God will say, I've had it with America.
If you do this kinda stuff, I'm gonna get rid of you as a nation.
And there's plenty of stuff that's going on when you look at the potential of atomic war,
when you look at the solar strike, something on our grid down the line of the devastation
that could happen to our nation.
We don't want that.
We want the blessing of God, not the curse of God.
>> It's gonna be fabulous.
>> So he says that if we pass equality laws for the gay community, the land will vomit
you out.
Except the land is already kinda vomiting us out, and it's not because of equal protections
and rights for the LGBT community, it's because of climate change, so-
>> Well, actually the scariest thing to me about religious extremism in 2019 is that
they have an answer for everything.
And the answer for climate change is not CO2 in the atmosphere or anything that humans
have done, it's because of the guys.
It cuz of abortion rights and homosexuality and therefore, we're being punished by rising
sea levels.
It's like, my god.
>> I can't completely understand how someone who is not a Christian could be offended by
this or be upset by this.
Cuz it doesn't make any sense.
But I am a Christian.
And whilst I'm also a scientist, I have a degree in theological studies.
So let's actually look at what the passage says.
So Leviticus 18:28 says that if you don't do the right thing, you'll get vomited out
as a nation.
But Leviticus 18:19 says if you are not allowed to have sex with a woman on her period.
So until the Republicans are actually fighting against sex with women on their periods then
I won't actually take them seriously.
>> Careful what you wish.
I mean, I think they're probably are.
They totally imagine them not wanting to have sex with women.
>> Too bad we're gonna free bleed all over the place when they rescind Roe v Wade.
So jokes on you.
>> It's crazy hypocrisy.
>> Yeah, and look, Pat Robertson like many religious zealot has had an issue with the
gay community for a long time.
In fact, here are some evidence of how long that hatred has gone.
>> That guy was a homo, as sure as you're alive.
>> Yeah, you didn't look rattled.
>> You did the good thing.
>> Let me ask you, Jade, because maybe you have a good answer for this.
>> God.
>> Why believe in something that requires you to act based on a higher being watching
you and punishing you constantly for your behavior?
>> So I just wanna put out there that the Christian God is not the US Christian God,
so coming to the United States from outside the US-
>> Is the Australian God better?
>> Way, way better.
We totally win in the battle.
God loves Australia.
It's just rediculous how muxh the Christian right, it doesn't actually follow what is
written in the Bible and it breaks my heart as a Christian to see how much that people
who claim to be Christians aren't even reading the things they claim to believe in.
>> Yeah.
>> It's just massive hypocrisy.
It's so infuriating.
>> And I think that Trump and his entire new extremist world order that we're in is really
impressing upon the Christian community in the United States, but their religion needs
to be reclaimed, and it needs to be reclaimed around the values that they profess which
are around love and brotherhood.
And I think, again, looking at the moral Mondays and the Rev. William Barber and all the work
that he's done with the poor people's campaign and a lot of the cross faith alliances that
have been built, I do think there will be a like legitimately justice-oriented Christian
revival in this country.
And I'm looking forward to that.
>> We need the Bible.
>> And I am not religious, but I believe there are good ones out there.
>> The Bible, Jesus said- >> Why are the good ones condeming the bad
ones?
That's what I wanna know.
>> And thank you for pointing that out because, I it's so frustrating if the Bible says, love
your neighbor and yet the Christian community in the US is tolerating this hypocrisy.
This is ridiculous.
