Pat Robertson, who last week suggested that turmoil in the stock market was divine punishment for government funding of Planned Parenthood, today alleged that the legalization of gay marriage will anger God to the point that it will lead to a massive financial crash.
While repeating his defense of Kentucky official Kim Davis, the county clerk who is barring her office from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Robertson lamented that homosexuality is no longer illegal in America.
“Isn’t it a shame, there was a time that homosexuality was considered an aberration, it was illegal, as a matter of fact, and the thought of two homosexuals marrying one another was just undreamed of, we couldn’t even conceive of it,” he said. “And now the Supreme Court of the United States has said that this is a constitutional right and, in the process, they are upending the traditions of thousands of years of the Judeo-Christian faith.”
Robertson said that the financial system may not survive gay marriage: “God Almighty is looking down on this nation and, folks, I want to tell you that our finances right now are hanging by a thread, the rupture of the entire financial framework of our world is so tenuous right now and if there is was ever a time that we need the grace of God, it is now. And unless something is done to change the courts and to change the way this country is going, it is just a question of time before the fabric ruptures and we’ll all suffer because of it.”
