Thom asks anti-gay Robert Knight - What is the real goal of the hate the gays movement?

[AABREU80]

Is this really a show?

[superstubes]

@DIEGETBaC

youre a dying breed !!

[TeaJay83]

I love when people say god made us to have sex only between a man and a woman which is true for procreation but if it is true that god made us why would he put the most pleasuralble spot for a man inside his body which is only accessable through anal sex

[AABREU80]

@TeaJay83 WHAT?!!! Your obviously gay.

[dreamcastfan123]

Hey anti gay biggots! I'M FUCKIN GAY WATCHYA GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

[skaterchico]

This is gay

[A40HourTrain]

Anyone who reads too far into any testament is a sad human being. Religion has always been for the weakest among us

[darkwolfx333]

Not only does Knight contradict himself more than fifteen time, he makes a wonferful ass of himself at the same time. Please Robert Knight do us all a favor and either come out of the closet you self loathing lunatic and finally get laid in a meaningful way, or make like a banana and kill yourself. Both roads have good outcomes for everyone and both end your reign of being a vain prick. So please choose one and be done with it already!

[Kevstar19]

Robert Knight is a fucking prick. Holy shit... Gay life style...what a fucking retard.

[emmers57]

robert knight is about due to get caught in a big gay scandal any day now...

men who want to marry trees? jebus this guy is a major putz

[8DX]

Interesting ... they were actually battling it out there..

[Isuckatpaintball2]

80% of homophobes are gay

[biohazard93808]

Robert facepalm count #20

Thom facepalm count #0

[titleistpvx]

The last 30 seconds of this video truly epitomizes how nutty these extreme right wing jobs are. = )

[dizzymasekela]

Thom always eats up right-wing, reactionary assholes.

[AICabal]

Christians love to pick and choose from the bible. Religion, a sickness of the mind.

[jimlaregina]

But didn't Jesus say the love God and love your neighbor as yourself, superseding everything else in Scripture?

More to the point, why try to reason with a guy like Mr. Knight, whose entire career is a red herring issue like gay rights?

[allawayjared]

Thank you Thom, you are awesome.

[lamargopetersen]

There is no way to find an answer because the hard liners WILL NOT LISTEN!! Even the gay people are hard liners for their cause. There will never end as long as religion controls the government.

[hollywoodartchick]

ha! according to the Bible, girls can't braid their hair, either. There is also a charming story about a man who gave his daughters to be raped so the rapists would leave the male guests in the house alone. I am religious, but if you try to follow the Bible literally and treat every passage like words to live by, it is impossible to create a safe, compassionate society.

[luvcheney1]

Thom recalls that the Bible calls for women to be silent. The horse is out of the barn on this issue already, but men pretend to listen to their wives and girlfriends because if they are not "sensitive" they wont be able to get in their pants. (ought to be under their skirt`s, but they are liberated).

[styrofoamheart]

i'm assuming my 4 thumbdowns are from all those prob 8 supporters.

[mickatmidnight]

I wonder why since these fundies are so extreme in their jump to uplift this one aspect Levitican law in the Old Testament and ignore the other "abominations" such as eating pork, crab, lobster, etc. It proves their own ignorance of their own religion and drives home the fact that they should be ignored.

[delia43]

Knight, civil laws HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOU. Except in the case that America grows a fucking pair and taxes the fuck outta every single church land and tithe income to take back the riches they've stolen in the name of the Invisible Sky Man from We The People.

[TheKuffarKid]

Riches they've stolen? By not taking something from somebody that means that somebody has stolen something?

[antifaith82]

Gay people are just like any straight person as far as promiscuity goes.

As far as AIDS goes, that's not restricted to gays. IV drug users are just as at risk as gay people...but the right won't tell you that, they only act like it affects gays.

[ZerqTM]

9:28 lol he said save it for mairrage..

but he wont allow it!

they should be allowed to marry so they can save it for mairrage :3

[ZerqTM]

the banning of mariarge in texas should be en example tho these nut cases how stupid there arguments are.

They are foaming at the mouth about something that does not consern them.

and its a violation of religious freedom!

christianity should not be alllowed to dictate what other religions are allowed to do.

[ZerqTM]

3:38 the boyscouts also dont allow atheists..

in europe we think thats barbaric and it would never be allowed!

i was a boy scout and i am not bat shit loco enught to belive in the invisible skydaddy...

enforced insanity should never be a prerequesit for anything. (exept entry to the mental hospital)

[MaryJesusJoseph]

I think the Boy Scout bans in the US are due to the fact that the Mormons have all but taken over the organization.

[hollywoodartchick]

Oh, god, please tell me that is a joke! When I was in parochial school, our scout troop was thru the church, but it endeavored to be inclusive and leave sectarianism out of it. What kind of world have we become when churches with political agendas hijack every secular institution?

[MaryJesusJoseph]

I wish it was. I was raised Mormon and the church has pretty much taken over what was a very good non-political group and turned it into an organization that actually went to the Supreme Court to be able to discriminate.

[styrofoamheart]

america is full of idiots. they call them senators. be thankful you live somewhere civilized.

[tomestubbs]

I thought they were called religious nut cases who construe Jesus into some kind of murderous intolerant asshole! Unfortunately there R a lot of morons like this in the US and they have extremely low IQ's.

[zzRider]

Has anyone ever noticed how Jesus and Paul seem very different in character? One walked with a (presumed) prostitute and the other (presumably) told women to stay quiet... it should be noted that the line Tom quotes (1st Corinthians 14:34) could have been added around 2 century's after the letter was wrote.

Not trying to start a debate, but I have found the above odd.

[dmp079]

Once people are nutjobs Thom you can not argue with them. Their minds are made up. Just brush them to the side and hope they don't attract the crazy van, because they will.

[julsHz]

Definition of the religious wrong- Loves Jesus, but clearly can't stand people.

Here's what they're really afraid of Thom- that there's no 'original sin'. No original sin, no need for a redeemer, no heaven as a reward, no hell as punishment, and -what a radical thought- people are basically good in nature and don't need to subscribe to a mythology in order to live 'purpose driven' lives. Scares the begeezus out of them.

[MrSalamander7]

Knight should eat a fucking bullet.

[nemozazz]

@MrSalamander7 You got that right! (and i do mean RIGHT!)

[bangurdead102]

Shut this fucker up, hes talking over you, its your fucking show, grow a pair mute him or kick him off.

[InDenverSoon]

Agreed 100%. Thom I love your show but in that segment you let Mr. Knight take over. You're the host, you need to control the conversation.

[Zlibservacratican]

A reason why god from any religion should not be allowed to enter any place in the government.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Good try Thom but there's really no reasoning with these people.

[Teenagefreedomfightr]

Hartmann needs to grow a bit of a temper. When some asshole blatantly lies, defames and propagates on your show you don't necessarily have to politely rebut their idiocy. Get a little pissed!

[PoliticalSkeptic]

his temperament is what people like. We got Ed Schultz for fire brand lol Tom did go off on a caller and the video is on this channel. So on extreme rare occasions it does happen.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

The Bible seems to be okay on polygamist marriages. Again, these Bible thumpers pick and choose what they want to believe.

[styrofoamheart]

did you remove your comment because you realized i was pro-happiness/anti-bigotry? for the record, i'm an atheist.

------------------------------­----------------------------

@styrofoamheart --not "approved" by their parents--arranged by their parents--sold into servitude by their parents. Also, it wasn't "lifetime union of two people" it was often the arrangement of one man and several powerless and unwilling women. You make up your own history.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

Yes I did, I misread your original comment.

[styrofoamheart]

gay marriage is not the beginning of a slippery slope, it's the end.

marriage was once defines as:

the lifetime union of two people, of the opposite sex, of the same race, of the same religion, approved by their parents.

we have systematically removed parental consent, religion, and race barriers. sex is the last to go.

[styrofoamheart]

marriage is between two people. that's all.

[TheKuffarKid]

Brother and sister, mother and daughter, father and son, father and dautghter? Those are all two people.

[styrofoamheart]

it would be hard for me fathom a son or daughter marrying a parent under their own consent. on the other hand, these marriages (minus the sex) are probably the most prevalent worldwide.
