There\u2019s no doubt that religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has a history of making eyebrow-raising comments. From announcing his belief that atheists are \u201cmiserable grinches\u201d<\/a> to sharing his concerns over adopting\u00a0foreign\u00a0children, he\u2019s spawned no shortage of controversy. This week, on his show, \u201cThe 700 Club,\u201d Robertson, again, tackled a highly-contentious issue, making statements about gays and the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) that instantly led to intense head-scratching\u00a0\u2013 and furor.<\/p>\n

As TheBlaze\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0earlier this week, the BSA is currently embroiled in national controversy surrounding the group\u2019s controversial ban on gay members and leaders. Before it was announced that the organization is planning to delay its decision<\/a> on whether to overturn the ban, Robertson weighed in, noting that the BSA has a profound history of helping young men in America.<\/p>\n

While he encouraged the organization to make the decision it deems most appropriate, some of his words led to angst \u2014 particularly a question he asked about \u201cpredators\u201d and \u201cpedophiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is, are there predators as boy scouts, pedophiles who would come in as scoutmasters?,\u201d Robertson asked. \u201cAnd if they are, then of course parents wouldn\u2019t want their sons being involved in the Boy Scouts, or their daughters in the Girl Scouts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch Robertson make these contentious statements:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you think about the faith leader\u2019s latest commentary? Let us know, below.<\/p>\n
