The worrying aspect is that he seems to believe in his ideology.

The issue is, is that the people who share his truth seeking ideology don’t give a fuck about anyone else. They’re destroyers of ideas and will cut anybody off to continue their destruction.

If he is a vicar, he can apply for vacant jobs around the country and if successful, he’ll be housed.

I can see why he’s worried about being homeless. Nobody would want him preaching to them.

The CoE don't want him which is why he went off some cultish branch of the church

I’m not really surprised. Even with their recruitment and training process, he seems like a weird choice.

They do train some very inappropriate people though. Imho.

He does. But some of those donating are in the USA, where people are more receptive to his brand of puritanical, literalistic Christianity.

He also tends to be popular with Catholics and Anglican traditionalists who remain opposed to female ordination, the blessing of same-sex marriages, and abortion, and think that Pope Francis and Justin Welby have been seduced by ‘wokeness’. Those who are anti-Muslim bigots find him appealing as he sometimes casts himself in the role of a modern Crusader.


Of course, for anyone who has studied the Bible and Theology academically, all of these positions can be challenged.

Won’t bore you with the details but to give one example, every last one of the scriptural passages that appear to condemn homosexuality have either been mistranslated or misinterpreted, and there are ways of getting around the fact that ‘God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.’

Also, every A Level student of Religious Studies following a syllabus that includes a look at the New Testament quickly learns that the gospel writers made up entire passages about Jesus.

Robinson either deliberately withholds this information from his viewers or he doesn’t know it himself, as he is not in possession of even a first degree in Theology or Religious Studies.

But either way the guy is loathsome, utterly repellent.

Perhaps they knew it was a piss-take but thought their audience wouldn't be bothered. Unless you know a GBN viewer who would be embarrassed to realise.
