After the Supreme Court issued its ruling on gay marriage Friday, President Obama gave a speech in which he said Americans need to change their religious views to be accepting of gay marriage, the Daily Caller reported. To that end, he encouraged gay marriage supporters to "help” people overcome their deeply-held religious views.
“I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue,” he said. Initially, he exhibited a bit of respect for those who oppose same-sex marriage.
"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 added. The implication was clear: Those who disagree with the idea of gay marriage based, for example, on their religious views, must change to be more like progressives who accept gay marriage.
“Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,” he added. “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," he continued. "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.”

Yeah, yeah. Forget your old God! Follow this new guy!
Translation, judeo-christian believers need to redefine sin to meet Obama’s own standards.
Even Adolf Hitler and the Nazis didn’t expect that.
He can F off
GTH you black insane rat.
Hey, Obama: tell that to the muzz. Let’s see how your brethren respond top that.
So the feckless one is not a Christian. Who knew?
Obama you commie dictator, I’d rather switch presidents.
Government imposing their religious views on citizens. There should be an Amendment protecting Religion..oh wait.
I’m nearly 62 Years Old.
Haas there ever been a President that told the People what they had to believe in besides America itself?
Quite the Orwellian Nightmare we exist in today.
And then he spikes the football by lighting up the White House in homosexual themed rainbow colors. Yep, he’s magnanimous......
“Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,”
aye that, Mr Obama
It seems to be working for abortion, approval of which is dropping
"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors; they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust. (The Noble Quran, 5:51)"
America’s a place where you can write your own destiny.

As long as the government and Dear Leader approves.
He's a Muslim, and in keeping with his treasonous Fifth Column activities, he's destroying the Judeo-Christian underpinning of America.
When his Muslim brethren are ascendant in America, they'll off all the gays.
Wonder if that little tidbit has been shared with the Rainbow Coalition?
War declarations often have consequences.
