Phil Robertson: 'You Forget God and the Trouble Starts'

Today's society is full of evil because people are pushing God out of their lives, reality TV star Phil Robertson told Newsmax TV.

During an appearance on "The Joe Pags Show," Robertson talked about what he feels is wrong with today's world.

"Our founding fathers, they warned us repeatedly, when you forget God, tyrants forge your chains," said Robertson, paraphrasing a quote from Patrick Henry. "We're there, my man."

Robertson noted that change in American society started in the 1950s and continued into the next decade.

The hippies "migrated and they became your judges, they migrated into the institutions of higher learning and to your government and to your news media and to Hollywood," he said. "They're still espousing that God is dead, and they ran him out of the courthouses, the schools, and now we are paying the price.

"You forget God and the trouble starts."

Robertson is hosting a new show on CRTV.com called "In the Woods With Phil," which he said will look at "every facet of life . . . through a spiritual lens."
