I read Stardust's last reply.

To be clear about this: A&E is their own business and should have their own views towards politics, religion, etc. At the same time, Phil Robertson has his own views as well. If Phil is ever hired on a Christian tv network and publicly endorses satanism, the network should fire him.

I think the reason why this has become a big issue is because A&E doesn't make the claim of being a liberal network. A&E fired Phil for a short time because it's widely accepted in America that if someone criticizes homosexuality, they're full of hate. A&E didn't want to be called "hate-filled" for standing against the belief of homosexuality.

In conclusion, neither Phil nor A&E did anything wrong. The real problem is that the American people aren't open to other people's opinions. It was the American people who had their hand on the trigger. If A&E never suspended Phil, the homosexual community would complain. If Phil stayed suspended, Christians would complain.

There is only one truth, and we should NEVER force our beliefs on other people. When convincing other people, use "gentle persuasion."
