'Duck Dynasty's Robertson under fire again

Ann Oldenburg | USA TODAY

A story told by Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson at a Friday prayer breakfast in Florida is bubbling up into controversy.

He was talking about sin, good and evil, and his brutal story of an atheist has gone viral.

Here's what he said:

"Two guys break into an atheist's home. He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters. Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot 'em. And they take his wife and then decapitate her head off in front of him. And they can look at him and say, 'Isn't it great that I don't have to worry about being judged? Isn't it great that there's nothing wrong with this? There's no right or wrong, now is it dude?' "

He continued:

"Then you take a sharp knife and take his manhood and hold it in front of him and say, 'Wouldn't it be something if this was something wrong with this? But you're the one who says there is no God, there's no right, there's no wrong, so we're just having fun. We're sick in the head. Have a nice day.' If it happened to them, they probably would say, 'Something about this just ain't right.' "

Salon called it "vile" and questioned Robertson's point.

Huffington Post called it "appalling."

The Friendly Atheist blogger wrote on Patheos.com in response:

"I don't know a single atheist or agnostic who thinks that terrorizing, raping, torturing, mutilating, and killing people is remotely OK, and I frankly think that Robertson doesn't either."

Breitbart.com has taken the media to task for the coverage and defended Robertson writing: "He is using an extreme scenario to drive home an important point about right and wrong, and where the notion of moral relativism can ultimately lead."

And that, "Robertson is telling a parable, a graphic parable, but still a parable using shock value as a way to bring home a perfectly valid point about a Godless world in which there is no Ten Commandments and by extension no basis to judge right from wrong."
