How low, Obama can go... Using the JudeaChristian 'Golden Rule' to promote Gay "marriage"?

Mr. Obama on Wednesday cited his Christian faith as a driving force behind the "evolution" of his thinking on gay marriage.
"When we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you know, treat others the way you would want to be treated," Mr. Obama told ABC News' Robin Roberts on Wednesday.

It's also horrific how Chris Mathews today like other lib. make it a "civil-rights' issue...

- Hillel and Jesus

- Hillel and the Golden Rule

- ...much has been made of the Talmudic story (Shabbat 31a) in which Hillel, when asked by a prospective convert to Judaism to teach him the whole Torah while he stood on one leg, replied: 'That which is hateful unto you do not do to your neighbor. This is the whole of the Torah, The rest is commentary. Go forth and study.'
Theologians, Jewish and non-Jewish, have compared this version of the Golden Rule, stated in negative form, with that of Jesus, in the positive form.

You're correct! But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Matthew 24:37) And what were the days of Noah like? Judges 21:25, In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. How much plainer can it be today? There is NO tolerance for intolerance anymore. What is good is called bad and what is bad is called good. We are truly in the last days.

What irks me the most about Obama saying he is basing his views upon his "Christian" faith is the total ignorance of what the Bible actually says. Bill Clinton was known for misquoting Scripture all the time in an attempt to couch his views in terms others would accept. He had the audacity to carry his big family Bible into church one Easter Sunday morning with the anticipation of being "serviced" by Monica as soon as he got back to his oval office! Hypocrisy, thy name is politician!
