Since when is saying you are against something defamation? It is going to be that the truth of the bible will not be able to be preached, oh wait they are already working on that
No you are not. What is the point of freedom of speech if one can be stopped from speaking because someone felt harmed by what they said? Speech cannot cause literal damage to another person. The damage caused by someone else's speech is self inflicted. Who is the arbiter of whether a particular thing said is harmful. Should a Nazi feel harmed by being called a racist would it be proper to stop people from calling Nazis racists? Or Klansmen? .
And the bible says? Both are sins
As I have already said, if he would have stated something like; "what christian's believe is the equivalent of people believing in the tooth fairy", he also would have been suspended, because he would have offended a large portion of the US population.
Can you name one they show that is negative to the gay lifestyle? TV Schedule: tbs.com - TV Shows - Television Shows - very funny
Oh come on, there are many shows that are positive to the lifestyle on many channels so why cant someone say that they oppose the lifestyle and call it sin? Do that and watch what happens, oh yeah we just did.

Both HLN News and Fox News had people on commenting concerning what Phil said. HLN had a gay rights activist on who stated flatout that Phil needed to abandon his beliefs and 'get in line' behind their agenda. Fox News had a woman on who stated that Phil needed to apologize to homosexuals for putting Scripture ahead of their agenda. And it is Scripture, not Phil, that identifies homosexuality as a sin
Yes. All people are sinners. But does that warrant comparing all people to people who have sex with animals?
Also, no one seems to care about his waxing poetically about the Jim Crow days...
What are you talking about? What does a private company's decision to only express certain viewpoints on their channel have to do with freedom of speech?seems to e that the first amendment just got trampled. They have no problem showing the gay lifestyle so why not opposing opinions? That is now a dead channel to me
Yes, I wish those comments were getting more attention.Also, no one seems to care about his waxing poetically about the Jim Crow days...
Moving the goalposts! No, actually, changing the game entirely.
You were implying that A&E itself should show both opinions. If that's true for A&E, it should be true for TBN.
But because TBN is certainly free to show only lifestyles it believes are acceptable, the same is true for A&E.
Wrong. More than 50% of the US population (polls this year have said 53-58%) is in favor of same-sex marriage, which means that an even higher percentage disapproves of such comments.And in this, he "offended" a very small portion of the US population.
First, please provide a link to the poll, with questions and the spread of people polled.Wrong. More than 50% of the US population (polls this year have said 53-58%) is in favor of same-sex marriage, which means that an even higher percentage disapproves of such comments.
You have to realize that's not true.
If this is how you feel, you must think that Christians are a small minority in the US.Those who claim that as long as we pay lipservice to Jesus Christ's sacrifice we can indulge in a sinful lifestyle without fear of repercussions ignore much of what Scripture itself teaches us.
No one said it did. I was correcting the claim that only a small percentage of people are offended by homophobia.Since when does a poll determine sin or right and wrong? We truly are living in a day when right is wrong and wrong is right
Personally I would like to call on all christans to boycott not only that show but every show on A&E until he is reinstated
No one said it did. I was correcting the claim that only a small percentage of people are offended by homophobia.
I don't think he should be asked to abandon his beliefs, so if this is true, it's a bit ridiculous. And had he stuck to simply stating, "I believe homosexuality is a sin due to my religious beliefs," I rather doubt he would have seen any repercussions. However, his language was inflammatory and incendiary. Did he need to refer to vaginas, anuses, bestiality, etc to state something like, "I think it's a sin"? These remarks are what got him in hot water, not the belief itself.
Also, no one seems to care about his waxing poetically about the Jim Crow days...
