pat robertson I was
asked one of these questions that comes into his show when it was
my son says he's gay what should I do
here's pat robertson's reaction if this is fields who says my 16-year-old son
says he's gay
what do I do well a up tight
you need to pray for me and I think you need to
counsel with him and see you know is there really a biological thing going on
or has he been influenced as a coach
I'll want to let the world they're so much that will I i kno
and the whole I thereof up I'll these kids are formative state
ensure they may have some attractions them people same sex I mean they don't
know what they're doing that they're teenagers
I'll so some you know legal for the opposite sex %uh more attracted to one
another and
and the lot of things that happen so don't Riley lawford I think what you
need to do is talk to and counsel with them and and be understand being
be alright okay so for it we have to analyze this piece by piece
first about the kid never said anything about being abused molested et cetera
just that he's gay
and it's actually not true that there is causation between
being sexually abused or molested and being gay
you can look at information from the national health and social life survey
you can look at hight Janice Jefferson Moberly Macfadden
all have studied this abuse does not cause homosexuality in for those who
will say well
isn't their correlation that may be the case but just because there is
correlation
that doesn't mean that being abused
causes you to be gay there may be other factors
which place gay individuals in situations where they are more likely to
be abused
so that's number one the number two how is praying for the gay kid
a solution Louis like what what will happen if the mom praise for the gay kid
a good question I don't know I guess
it might the in my career that a demon its
it in him Frank Pixies pretty much everything I guess if you ask pat
robertson you just need to make sure you do it the right way
right because when he's been asked well we prayed but the good thing didn't
happen or the bad thing happened
you either we're praying hard enough or you looked like you were playing on the
outside but you're kind of just going through the motions and really you
weren't
really praying he didn't really wanna can you imagine how many lives have been
ruined
young and old by following this particular brand
of Christianity and really extremist brands
have all the major religions yeah its
I most these people never realize that it's ruining their life for their
relationship with their family or
a any number up situations I guess it's pretty sad
