Does this piece of trash even consider the idea that the man believed in God's laws? Give me a break. This is yet another attempt by the homosexual/gay lobby to make them seem more normal.

Through their usual craven attempts to demean and destroy everyone above them - which is most everyone. The Ten Commandments stand in stark contrast to them.

While I'll be the first to concede that the "Gay Lincoln" theory is built around a lot of speculation and circumstantial evidence, the notion that Lincoln was a believer in "God's law" or even particularly religious is without basis in fact. Lincoln is well known to have invoked biblical imagery in his speeches, but virtually all of his intimate friends and family members stated that he did this consciously because he knew it worked politically. Lincoln's best friend William Herndon, his personal body guard Ward Hill Lamon, and his wife Mary Todd Lincoln all conceded after his death that he was not a Christian "in the normal sense," to quote Mary Todd. Herndon stated that Lincoln's religious beliefs fluctuated between outright atheism and a form of very loose and very liberal non-Christian deism. He was probably closer to the latter position around the time of his death, though we cannot know for sure. Stating much more beyond that is simply without basis in history.
