The campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton are in sync not only on the geopolitical importance of Selma, Ala., but also on the issue of whether homosexuality is moral or not. This afternoon, the Obama campaign released the following statement: “As the New York Times reported today, I do not agree with General Pace that homosexuality is immoral. Attempts to divide people like this have consumed too much of our politics over the past six years.”

Big surprise! I thought Muslims were against homosexuality? Oh, that's right, he claims he's not a Muslim any more! My bad!

[plain talk]

I wish someone would ask him if he believes the Bible is wrong on that matter.

[woofie]

Along that line, isnt this inciting the hatred of the jihadists?

[pandoraou812]

Some Muslims like men/boys. They just use the don't tell program. Remember Muslims are allowed to lie to us, we are the kufar.

Another amoral politician trying to score points with a voting bloc.

[Ol' Sparky]

And, Rudy and John Warner agree! So, it's unanimous -- we're living in a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah!

“As the New York Times reported today, I do not agree with General Pace that homosexuality is immoral....

Don't forget God.

Even a child can see that homosexuality violates God's biological design for normal human sexuality. Give us all a break.

I was thinking the same thing, WDGS (What Does God Say)


"If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them." Leviticus 20:13

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Liberals always bring out the "attempts to divide people" argument when they want to intimidate their opponents into silence. Listen, Obama, you give up your view and then their will be no division.

What does God have to do with anything?

[citizencon]

Is that his and Hillary's final answer?

[editor-surveyor]

Good, he's cooked his goose.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Sort of reminds me of Dole trying to say tobacco isn't addictive.

You'll have a chance to find out in due time.

Question: Have W and any other past candidates ever been asked this question and how did they answer? I just wondered.

[spikeytx86]

He's not, he admits he is a Christian but "skeptical" about religion, AKA he is an agnostic like his mom if not an atheist like his father.

[golfisnr1]

I ajm not surprised. He belongs to the United Church of Christ which ordains homosexuals and is an affirming denomination.

[Jorge]

You'll have a chance to find out in due time.

As you will.

From one of Pookie18's FR "Today's Toons" threads:

"Is that his and Hillary's final answer?:,/i>

IMHO, this pic pretty much defines Hillary's religious beliefs"
