According to America’s most famous televangelist, sex acts between married couples are only a “sin” if the individuals participating are filled with enough shame.

Responding to a viewer question on his show Wednesday, Christian fundamentalist preacher Pat Robertson suggested that oral sex between a husband and a wife is perfectly fine — unless, that is, “If you feel it’s sin.” Then, “it’s sin,” Robertson said.

Watching the video below, it’s difficult not to feel bad for co-host Kristi Watts, who’s forced to read the question off a cue card, groaning in horror when she sees it.


“Don’t look at me,” she said. “I’m too young for that question.”

1. Somehow I feel dirty reading this

the ol man has gone senile.

[qb]

2. Woo Hoo! I'm free of sin!

[LeftishBrit]

3. If I feel that listening to Pat Robertson is a sin, it's a sin.

[Brickbat]

4. Well, that seems to be a bit of a slippery slope, doesn't it?

I suppose if one partner is reluctant to participate in oral sex, and the other partner pressures the first partner into participating, that could be a sinful act -- the pressuring, I mean. But if defining sin comes from whether one "feels like" it's a sin or not -- that's just askig for trouble, wouldn't one think?

5. the jokes will write themselves with this one. But I ask you to imagine...

...just go with the imagery of St. Peter at the pearly gates. Is he really going to check a list to see if you went down on your wife, or the converse? Really, there must be some segment of the population that just needs to be led around by the nose. There must be people who ask Robertson how to go about tying their shoes. It's pathetic.

[EnviroBat]

7. That "segment" of the population is most of the republican base.

Their willful ignorance is astounding. They are destroying our government...

6. So it's relative?

Thanks, Pat! Good to see you've joined us "relativists".

Of course, this and the reversal on marijuana won't make up for the decades of wrong-headed politics and propagandizing for it under the guise of a "religious" network (not to mention your coddling dictators), but it's a start.

[bongbong]

8. Huh????

But I thought evangelicals & other fundamentalists tsay there is only one "truth". How can a sin be situationally-dependent?

Once again, (obligatory moderation: some) religious leaders show their true nature. When you get old, you start letting truth-bombs (30 Rock) fly. I bet a lot of the accountants at Robertson's "church" are tearing their hair out.

And I bet the accounting dept at his "church" is the biggest dept there!

9. There goes chocolate

I'm trying to think of all the times I've said, "This is so good, it's sinful".

[zbdent]

10. If you have to ask if it's in, you've got a problem ...

oh, wait ... "it's SIN", not "it's IN" ...

Never mind ...

[snooper2]

11. WTF does that even mean? "I'm too young for that question"

Do you have to seeing a geriatric doctor before you get into some good carpet munching?

[WingDinger]

12. They blame Clinton for all of it.

They warned us there would be a flurry of oral sex inquiries.

[tjwash]

13. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd just like that....

...PR is back to batshit crazy. Damn, it was only 6 days ago since he came out as pro-pot.

I guess that was the once in a cycle a broken clock can be right.

[Newest Reality]

14. Since sin originally means

to err or to miss the mark, then oral sex done wrong is actually a sin.

Guilt trips can be considered an overlay on behavior.

That woman on his show had some interesting behavior concerning the subject. it was almost as if someone were asking her to clean-up a dead spider.

Sounds like Pat has been hit his stash more these days. He is interspersing some odd things within his usual, dogmatic diatribes.

[Yavin4]

15. And If It Doesn't Feel Like A Sin...

then you're doing it wrong.

[pansypoo53219]

16. if he says masturbation is OK, then he's gotta be declared senile.

[Green_Lantern]

17. Is Pat mellowing out?

First marijuana and now this?

He is being actually reasonable.

[Solly Mack]

18. So..Pat smokes pot and enjoys oral sex. Alrighty then.

He's not alone.

Wonder what next week's confession will be?

[Arugula Latte]

19. He's secretly a Phish follower.

[Solly Mack]

20. Teehee!
