Televangelist Pat Robertson lamented this week that it would be difficult for Christians to escape media blasphemy like homosexuals being depicted in movies until Jesus returned during the End Times. On Wednesdays edition of The 700 Club, a viewer complained to Robertson that she was having trouble finding TV shows, movies and books that do not have street language, sex, or blasphemy.
If you dont see some of these things, you would have to leave the world, the TV preacher admitted. The world is saturated with sexual innuendos. I mean, good grief. How many ads for Victorias Secret do you have to look at? Thats the whole idea is to have scantily clad models selling products, whether its toasters or automobiles or insurance, I mean, theyre out there, he continued. There are some things are really vile, and the answer is you shouldnt be watching them.
But the fact that there are about 200 screenwriters in Hollywood who have the dominance in the media, and theyre doing everything they possibly can to put dirty language and sexual situations, and now homosexuality into scripts over and over and over again. Robertson recalled that he had spoken to a sweet little old lady who wrote romance novels, but she was required to have a sex scene every ten pages.
This little old grandmother [writes], She was breathing hard and he grabbed her, Robertson laughed. She had to put that in her books! Because the publisher said youve got to have it in order to sell the stuff. We live in a corrupt world, and until the Lord comes back, its going to be difficult to live in it, he concluded.

(65,616 posts)Barely being able to afford $2,000 shoes, having to sit in an air conditioned studio for hours on end in a really expensive chair. Having only one man (down from 4) servant to put on his pants, one tailor to custom fit his daily thousand dollar business suit, one page to bring him his Starbucks latte. I'm sure a few people can relate to poor Pat's living conditions. How does the man survive?
