I think that the scenario Robertson posited above is being shoehorned into a pre-ordained narrative because of his other fanatical statements. The degree of specificity and detail, not to mention the extent of the harm wrought upon the atheists pales in comparison to the comedians who tell the Aristocrats joke, and they are doing it to be funny. Are you willing to put Drew Carey, Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, et al., in the same moral boat as Phil Robertson?

Dumb. Just dumb. Sorry, but the point of Aristocrats, as I understand it, is to create a stream of obscene consciousness, a brainstorm of shocking content as both a creative exercise and as a no holds barred off the cuff improvisational bit that is almost only ever performed in front of other comedians. While intended to shock, and even disgust, the Aristocrats is neither an ernest expression nor is it intended to belittle and degrade others.

Robertson was saying that atheists only care about right and wrong when it involves horrible things happening to themselves.
