re: #63 Single-handed sailor

What’s so difficult to understand about my 62? Robertson never says that’s would should happen to atheists (at least not in that clip). He sure has said ignorant shit in the past, which is why I think there is a rush to take these statements and say he’s fantasizing that this should happen. He isn’t the first guy to make up a horrible scenario to make a rhetorical point. For example, either Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis once faced a Presidential debate question positing the rape and murder of his wife and daughter, and what he would have to say about the death penalty under such circumstances. Nobody would suggest that the questioner was fantasizing that such a thing should happen.
Further, goddamedfrank suggested it was wrong to do it in order to advance a religious agenda, but what about the comedians who “fantasized” about these things to make people laugh?
