ROBERTSON: SEX TO BECOME OBSOLETE

Some people frequently make the News by making ridiculous statements. Such is the case with Pat Robertson who last week said it was God’s punishment for dividing up the Holy Land that Ariel Sharon is suffering from a stroke. Remarks like this are so unbelievable that they first appear to be satire, yet, knowing the sources, we sadly realize they are speaking what they believe. President Bush is another of these noteworthy news makers. It is hard for satirists to top some of these but the following is, in my opinion, something else Robertson could have said.

ROBERTSON: Sex to Become Obsolete

By Daniel D. Ziegler

It might be a hard pill to swallow, but it was suggested today, by Pat Robertson, in a speech to a pharmaceutical conference addressing ethical considerations, that sexual reproduction should be completely outlawed. In a complete turn-around from his previous stands on cloning and stem cell research, Robertson suggested that pharmaceutical companies be given the go-ahead to begin cloning and using other non-sexual reproduction methods and procedures to propagate the human race.

“I have re-examined my position on cloning,” he said. “It would save the human race from complete moral degradation.” Robertson added, “Sex is the cause of immorality not only in this country but around the world. Just look at AIDS. We need to relieve ourselves of sex before God destroys us and we vanish from the planet. Asexual reproduction is the best way and I know God would approve.”

Robertson, thought to be a large stockholder of several drug firms, explained that pharmaceutical companies, with their large profits, can use their vast resources to “further line their pockets while contributing to the benefit of mankind.” He added, “We need large pharmas if the human race is to survive. Without all our pills, where would we be?”

Outlining such a program, the moral leader explained that although this method seems radical to some, it really lies in the best interest of all. “Children, particularly, would benefit,” Robertson told his audience, “since we know that children suffer irreparable harm from being exposed to the most seemingly insignificant acts of sex, such as seeing a mother breast feeding a child. Total abstinence and growing up in a sexless world would produce generations of morally and psychologically healthy children,” he added.

“Making sexual reproduction a crime would eventually lead to forgetting about sex entirely,“ a copy of the full speech stated. “Once we have reached that goal, so-called sex crimes, such as pornography and prostitution, would no longer attract people. There would be no need for them, right?” The copy further suggested, it would eventually lead to less or no homosexuality also, since homosexuality is nothing but a perversion of normal sex, which itself is the basis of immorality, as already pointed out.

“And it goes without saying,” Robertson spoke, “without sex, AIDS and other STD’s would no longer inflict the human race and the pharmaceutical companies would no longer be burdened to supply these drugs to our third world countries. Instead they could focus their production and profits on producing moral, Christian human beings over there. There is no doubt that there would be many willing to pay for such a service.”


In connection to Robertson’s speech, it was reported by an unknown source that a wire tapped phone call from President Bush to Robertson included Bush asking Robertson if somehow oil companies could be included in his plan. “Surely there is enough money in getting rid of sex for all of us, especially compassionate, loving Christians,” he was heard saying. “Know what I mean? “Ah…let’s you and I get together, Pat, and feel this thing out, okay?.” The recording continued with an inaudible response from Robertson.
