Pat Robertson thinks Facebook needs a 'vomit' button for pictures people post of gay couples, the Social News Daily reports. People have wanted Facebook to add a 'dislike' button for a while but controversial televangelist Pat Robertson is taking it one step further by suggesting the social networking site add a 'vomit' button. .
A viewer wrote to his show the "700 Club" and asked Robertson how to address pictures of same-sex couples on social media sites, like Facebook.
"When we 'like' things on Facebook, if it's something that goes against what is written in the Bible - such as pictures of same-sex couples - is that considered condoning the behavior? How do you explain this to new Christians or youth?" the viewer asked.
"A couple of same-sex guys kissing, you like that?" Robertson said. "Well that makes me want to throw up... To me, I would punch 'vomit' not 'like'... But they don't give you that option on Facebook."
Even though his co-host laughed at his answer many people found it offensive. On the same show he addressed homosexuality again by quoting a passage in the Old Testament, the Huffington Post reports.
"[Homosexuality is] an offense; it's an abomination for a man to lie with a man as with a woman. That's what it says," he said. "And those who do that in the Old Testament were stoned to death."
"For some reason not the Supreme Court has said homosexuality is now a constitutional right," he continued. "This decision that was handed down recently by the majority glorifies this activity and talks about the civil rights and all this. Well, the Bible didn't talk about civil rights; it talked about this was an offense against God and the land. It was an offense against the land, and the land would vomit you out."
This is not the first time the "700 Club" host has made some hair-raising comments. In the past he has talked about his stance on homosexuality saying "Many of those people involved in Adolf Hitler were Satanists. Many were homosexuals. The two things seem to go together."
When it comes to adultery Robertson has previously said that "males have a tendency to wander a little bit" adding that women should "make a home so wonderful he doesn't want to wander." He also expressed his thoughts on feminism saying that "it encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
