Obama: Ditch Religious Convictions About Same-Sex Marriage Already
Daily Caller ^ | 6/26/15 | Rachel Stoltzfoos

Posted on 06/26/2015 7:33:23 PM PDT by markomalley

p>President Barack Obama urged supporters of same-sex marriage Friday to “help” people to overcome their religious convictions, so they are no longer held back from a progressive American view of equality.

“I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue,” he said in a speech following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling to Constitutionally recognize same-sex marriage. He initially espoused respect for those who disagree with the ruling.

“Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs,” he said. “All of us who welcome today’s news should be mindful of that fact. Recognize different viewpoints. Revere our deep commitment to religious freedom.”

“But today should also give us hope that on the many issues with which we grapple often painfully real change is possible,” he continued, abruptly switching gears, clearly implying that those who disagree must come around to the more righteous, more American, and more equal view of marriage.

“Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,” he said. “And those who have come so far on their journey to equality have a responsibility to reach back and help others join them. Because for all our differences, we are one people — stronger together than we could ever be alone.”

“That’s always been our story. We are big and vast, and diverse. A nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs, with different experiences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are, or what you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love — America’s a place where you can write your own destiny.”

I haven’t read the article, or comments, yet, but we’re supposed to ignore the Bible? I don’t think he’s Muslim, because Muslims are against homosexuality. He must be Satan’s minion.

Thanks!

America's symbols of good times, song, and abundant blessings have been slipping away. No Hope, no Cash, no Rivers... not even a Robin has been spared.

My religious beliefs are none of his business.

If he and his tanto friends want to break their backs playing hide the anchovie, that's their business.

If you approach me or mine to indoctrinate us, now we're looking at a brand new battlefield.

Who I have sex with (or don't) is none of your business.

And if you guys march up the street like attention whores dancing like tooth fairies, jerking each other off, I reserve the right to call you the deviates you are.

Eyes on your own paper bambi..

He was for gay marriage before he was against gay marriage before he was for gay marriage!

What a phoney baloney Muslim! Even that leftist Politico is calling him out on it:

In 2008, he said: “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage.”

He had written on the 1996 questionnaire, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/may/11/barack-obama/president-barack-obamas-shift-gay-marriage/

But in his defense, he STILL will stand with Islam, when the winds of blah, blah, blah...

Wonder how President Jarret is taking this? *SNORT*

America? You have been bamboozled!

Marxists say whatever they need to at the time. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lie and or inconsistent with something else said previously.

Yes they are. Makes me think of an old song “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”.

I agree, and furthermore I believe that our Supreme Court legalising sodomite “marriage” was the Rubicon. This nation has been turned over to its reprobate mind and is no longer, as a nation, under God’s protection. Now we are under His judgement.
