Obama: I won’t make churches conduct gay marriages
washington examiner ^ | JUNE 26, 2013 | JOEL GEHRKE

Posted on 06/26/2013 2:06:27 PM PDT by Cheerio

President Obama, in his statement hailing the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, promised that he wouldn’t try to force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages.

“On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation’s commitment to religious freedom is also vital,” Obama said. “How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision — which applies only to civil marriages — changes that.”

Of course he will.

He’s a dictator now.

And NSA, FBI, CIA, DOJ, DOH, SS, IRS, EPA are his henchmen.

Just like when the Boy Scouts caved the next day the degenerate freaks were not appeased. They didn’t even wait 24 hours before they pushed to destroy them again.

Of course he will.

AND the US Congress, mostly craven haters of the
Constitution to which they swore an Oath, will LOVE
their messiah-Impostor for it.

Obama: I won’t make churches conduct gay marriages

Which translated to common, non-political language means:

"I intend to make churches conduct gay marriages."

I had assumed Obama wouldn’t try that yet. Now that he’s made the announcement though, I suspect that government force is imminent.

Oh, he’s included with Congress and the Supreme Court too.

That’s just the short list.

He meant to say mosques.

There he believes marriage is between one man and one goat.

This will follow the same plan of attack on the Boy Scouts. Once sodomy was ruled a human right and a legitimate human anthropology, did they even need to attack freedom of religion? no. All they needed to do was attack the financiallinks between state and the faithful-in this case the scout’s use of public assets. The Sodomite’s obvious next move will be a replay of the scout attack-Does anyone now doubt that the next target will be revoking the tax exempt status of all religious institutions that oppose their vile lifestyles? I give it five years till its a done deal. They’re not going to stop and the rot is not going to dry out-a new civil war is inevitable.

Every time he says he won't do something, he turns around and does it. I wish he would just be QUIET.

How arrogant of him to believe he holds that power.

Obama does not have the constitutional or Biblical authority to force churches to marry homosexuals.

Churches do not have the Biblical authority to delegate that power to the executive branch, either.

However as long as many Christians continue to hold a faulty view of Romans 13 - that civil government has final authority over everything - all bets are off.

Bulls***! The idiot is a legend in his own mind.

And because of all the government meddling in religious matters, I’m going to hazard a guess that within the next year or so, the Pope will have the priest in this parish and all the others use some new word for the sacrament of marriage to be able to allow only a man and woman to be wedded in the eyes of churches-covenant, pairing-something.
