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.”

And I have a bridge to sell you.

The Courts will finish this and Obozo may not have to do anything. Next up Polygamy and Pedophiles.

Just a couple of years ago he was saying he believed that marriage was between a man and a woman. Then he needed money and “changed his mind”.

He already tried to force a Lutheran church to appoint a woman as a pastor through the Equal Protection clause of the 14th. The man lies.

He didn’t mean churches.
He meant to say mosques.

No, he'll have someone else do it. Remember, Pharaoh did not pursue the Hebrews into the parted sea. he said it was a job for a butcher. Not a Pharaoh.

He will order his people to sue the churches.

Yep, the Leftist Dog Whistle has been blown. The courts and bureaucracy is springing into action on this as we speak.

No, this is how things will stand until he can convince Muslims to accept the perversion.

Then it will become mandatory.

In other words, he will. Yes, I do believe this is double-speak. His allies will now put pressure on all churches to force this sin upon descent people.

I am sure it came from the White half.

What an outright a-hole.

At first I thought this was a semi-satire story.
can you imagine this a-hole saying he won’t force this on Church’s like he really had the power too if he wanted.

What an arrogant MF’er./

Well, he might not, but the courts certainly will, eventually. Also, businesses will be forced to provide benefits to their homo employees’ lovers and cater to them as customers, even if their lifestyle is in direct opposition to the business owner’s religion or principles.
