"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson delivered a strongly worded speech at the Vero Beach Prayer Breakfast last week, relating atheism to acts of violence.
The husband and grandfather's analogy communicated that any action could be considered morally sound if there is no God. His story may be disturbing to some due to its graphic nature.
"Two guys break into an atheist's home," he began, according to Right Wing Watch. "He has a little atheist wife and two little atheist daughters.
"Two guys break into his home and tie him up in a chair and gag him. And then they take his two daughters in front of him and rape both of them and then shoot 'em and they take his wife and decapitate her head off in front of him.
"And then they can look at him and say, 'Isn't it great that I don't have to worry about being judged? Isn't it great that there's nothing wrong with this? There's no right or wrong, now is it dude?'"
But Robertson's dark story didn't end there.
"Then you take a sharp knife and take his manhood and hold it in front of him and say, 'Wouldn't it be something if this was something wrong with this? But you're the one who says there is no God, there's no right, there's no wrong, so we're just having fun,'" he continued.
"'We're sick in the head, have a nice day.' If it happened to them, they probably would say, 'Something about this just ain't right.'"
The 68-year-old is increasingly known for his controversial statements in public forums and media interviews. In 2013, he compared gays, Shintoists, and Muslims to Nazis, leading to a brief suspension from his A&E television show.
He has also denied passing judgement on others, and urges Christians to love "homosexuals, drunks, terrorists."
