When I saw Phil Robertson's attire, I thought him to be the Harley-Davidson motorbike rider gang member.<\/p>\n<p>After reading his profile, I learned to respect him a little bit. Once a hippie of the 60s, Robertson involved himself with drug, sex, rock and roll, etc., until he hit rock bottom and came to Christ. Now he owns a very wealthy family owned business selling duck hunter products, particularly the \"duck call\" or Duck Commander, which is the company's name as well. The products are made from Louisiana woods.<\/p>\n<p>He'd had issue with A&amp;E before (2012) regarding them trying to ban him from using the name \"Jesus\" in his prayer as well as putting fake profanity bleeps.<\/p>\n<p>If I have the time, I will take a look at the show. I think this fad will make for high rating for a while.<\/p>\n<p>It is a curious thought, that of all Christians who are against homosexuality, a great number of some would prefer to keep quiet on the matter amidst non-believers while the others pay for the front line charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I first heard the news about how A&amp;E put Duck Dynasty's reality show on hiatus due to his anti-gay remark on GQ magazine, I thought it is just like many other news that discriminate Christians for calling homosexuality a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/?p=4432\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,10,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-projects","category-theologization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4432"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4433,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4432\/revisions\/4433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nycphantom.com\/journal\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
