Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson says ‘repent’ is the ‘scariest word in English dictionary’
Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson recently revealed that for today’s “wicked and adulterous” generation, the word “repent” is by far the “scariest word in the English dictionary.”
Robertson made his comments to Town Hall when asked what he thinks of today’s politically correct culture and censorship of Christmas.
“Well we’re just trying to infuse a little good into our culture and Christmas is a wonderful time to remember that,” Robertson said.
“Our culture today, for lack of a better term they’ve just become so inward-focused, so selfish. Let’s face it, we live in a pretty wicked and adulterous generation.”
He continued, “We’re just trying to infuse a little good into the culture saying come on, love God and love each other. We’re just trying to get people to turn from their sins. Look, I used to get with the dope-smoking worst of them. But once I was delivered from that, that was my idiot phase. So basically, it’s called repenting – the scariest word in the English dictionary. You never hear about it anymore, but trust me, everyone needs to repent and turn to God, they really do.”
Robertson, 69, went on: “When I give a Bible lesson, I have to have armed men to my right and my left and behind me,” he said. “To give a Bible lesson. That’s where we are in America. Pretty sad.”
In a sermon, Robertson reiterated these views, trading in Biblical truth for political correctness. “Political correctness is this according to Webster’s dictionary: Conforming to what is regarded as orthodox liberal opinion on matters of sexuality, race etc. Usually used disparagingly to connote dogmatism, extreme sensitivity to minority causes, so if you read the definition according to the Webster’s dictionary, it’s not real favorable,” he said.
“So what do you want to do, follow the politically correct crowd to your death to your grave to you burial?” he asked. “They are not going to help you with your sin…I’m just saying, as far is your life is concerned, you put your faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.”
