Though he told ABC News last week, “I’m as much of a homophobe as Jesus was. People who are participating in homosexual behavior — they need to know that I love them,” yesterday Phil Robertson indicated that he doesn't think God The Father is quite so easy-going.

Speaking on Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins' radio show, Robertson stated that all sexually transmitted diseases are really all about "the gay sex".
“God says, ‘One woman, one man,’ and everyone says, ‘Oh, that’s old hat, that’s that old Bible stuff,’” he said. “But I’m thinking, well let’s see now. A clean guy — a disease-free guy and a disease-free woman — they marry and they keep their sex between the two of them. They’re not going to get chlamydia, and gonorrhea, and syphilis, and AIDS. It’s safe.”
Robertson reasons, “Either it’s the wildest coincidence ever that horrible diseases follow immoral conduct, or, it’s God saying, ‘There’s a penalty for that kind of conduct.’ I’m leaning towards there’s a penalty for it.”
He's out hawking his new book...no word yet as to whether he's touring with a holy ghostwriter.
