On “The 700 Club” today, Pat Robertson took a question from a viewer who said she attends a church whose members aren’t allowed to date, leaving many church members “frustrated because we’re getting older and no one is getting married.”
Robertson found this to be absolutely ridiculous because a church with a no-dating policy will eventually “die out”— just like gay people.
“You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce,” he said. “You know, you have to have heterosexual sex to reproduce. Same thing with that church, it’s doomed, it’s going to die out because it’s the most nonsensical thing I’ve heard in a long time.”

Because heaven forbid that you try to introduce people to your beliefs by any way other than indoctrinating them as small children. That would make too much sense.
(More likely, it would require their views to make too much sense, i.e., any whatsoever.)
Matthew 19:12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Yes, Jesus himself told you to cut your balls off if you have the balls to do it.
Honey, I've been having heterosexual sex regularly, for the last 27 years or so. No reproduction whatsoever, so far...
Most homosexuals are born from heterosexual parents, silly!
it’s going to die out because it’s the most nonsensical thing I’ve heard in a long time.
If that's so, why aren't you dead?
He didn't even need to bring up gays. He could've just said "Dump that church & find another that isn't a Shaker-esque celebacy cult".
But this is Pat Robertson, so he must be crazy at all times...thus putting the whole "Gays are gross" bit into it.
“You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce,”
Homosexuality is not a recent thing Pat, if it was going to die out it would have done so by now
Not allowed to date??? Enforced by who? What will they do if they catch you dating? Take away the offering plate so you cant donate? Force you to quit praying? Do they required hall passes if you need to go to the restroom? I suspect there are many more things to be "frustrated" about with that church.
Yes. That's why there haven't been any RC Priests in centuries.
As for the poor idiot that asked the question, run, don't walk to the nearest exit. Your pastor has let the sight of all you slack-jawed bullshit sponges convince him to go alpha. You can't date because all the women are his, whether they know it or not.
You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce
You do know that homosexuality has been around for all of human history, right?
"Robertson found this to be absolutely ridiculous"
Who gives a fuck what Pat Robertson finds ridiculous? I personally find Pat Robertson to be absolutely ridiculous, so there.
Yeah, and heterosexuals will all die out too Pat, bisexualls as well, asexuals will do too, pansexuals also. Also I wouldn't expect ginger haired people to live much past 80, nor brown haired people or blondes. Those with blue eyes are mortal, as are green eyed, brown eyed and hazel eyed folk. The amount of melanin a person has won't make them any more immortal, neither will their height. Whether a person has an "inny" or an "outy" doesn't affect anything, those with an inny, and those with an outy, will die. Men with lots of body hair will cease to exist, those without much body hair will also cease to be. Cats, dogs, fish, even parrots will be pushing up daisies eventually. Finally, old, demented fundamentalist Christians are doomed to face death.
Funny huh? When you reproduce you don't live on.
How does that church think that's eventually going to work without any dating? Arranged marriages? Funny how they're so afraid of sex that they admonish grown adults to not intermingle and get to know each other as a prerequisite for marriage. So if their members are interested in each other they have to keep meeting in secret, which is more likely to lead to hanky panky than just allowing them to publicly date. At worst, not allowing people to get to know each other before marriage is a recipe for divorce.
As for the gays dying out, yeah just keep telling yourself that. Oldest mention of homosexuality that I know of is in Leviticus, now some 4,000-5,000 years later there are still plenty of gay people around. But just keep telling yourself that they're all going to die out soon if that makes you feel better.
“You know, those who are homosexual will die out because they don’t reproduce”
Sir Elton John. David Furnish. Two sons. But then, you're too senile to know about this one example that completely annihilates your argument.
“You know, you have to have heterosexual sex to reproduce”
I presume you're Pro-Life , Patty-boy?:

@SpukiKitty
And may you have a crazy -fun Winter Solstice; it can only get better from tonight! b^_^d
I would love to see all these single church ladies; just to check out what they look like. To see if they live up to the stereotypes; I bet they do. 486 pounds, tree trunk legs, butterfly glasses with floral house dresses & flyaway hair. Nearly impenetrable redneck twang & constant quoting of bible verses. Sexy times!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
