Reality star and outspoken Christian Phil Robertson urged attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to give their lives to Christ in a controversial speech on Friday.

Robertson discussed sexually-transmitted diseases, Nazis, the Islamic State among other topics in his address, and said that a lack of Jesus was to blame for many of the world's problems. 

"You [may] say, 'Who'd you come with?" he began. "Who are you with?' I be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

The "Duck Dynasty" patriarch told the potential presidential candidates to always carry their Bible with them before quoting a statistic from the CDC. 

"One hundred and ten million Americans now have a sexually transmitted illness. One hundred and ten million?" he announced. 

"I don't want you, America, to get sick. I don't want you to become ill. I don't want you to come down with a debilitating disease. I don't want you to die early!

"You want a godly, biblical, medically safe option?" he continued. "One man, one woman, married for life."

Robertson echoed previous statements that compared Shintoists and Muslims to Nazis, saying that each group is known for murder and "territorial conquest."

He also called for the abolition of the IRS, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Education, and said new leadership was needed in the executive branch. 

"Unless we get spiritual men in the White House to turn (the U.S.A.) around, we're going to lose it," Robertson asserted. "God help us."

The 67-year-old was at the conference to accept the Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award, awarded by conservative Christian organisation Citizens United.

Robertson has continued to share his beliefs on the world stage, despite opposition and petitions to get his show cancelled.
