That's his response to a viewer's question about her son's affair with a married man.

Pat Robertson yesterday took advantage of a 700 Club viewer's concerns about her son's questionable relationship to rant about gay men supposedly recruiting young people into homosexuality.

The viewer, identified as Nancy, said her son, who lives with her, is involved with a married man who goes to their church. The man's wife, she said, knows nothing of the relationship. "What would the Lord want me to do?" the viewer asked.

The homophobic televangelist immediately called the married man a "pedophile," although Nancy did not specify her son's age. He also questioned the son's identity. "Her son right now doesn't know what he wants and he doesn't know whether he's a homosexual or not a homosexual, but this guy is trying to talk him into that," he said. "There's so many people, young people, impressionable, some coach comes after them, some adult comes after them, some older sibling comes after them, and they somehow think, 'Because they did this I must be gay.' Well, he doesn't know that for sure, he doesn't know what sexual identity he's got."

Take a look at the bizarre rant below, courtesy of Right Wing Watch.
