(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized abortion does not make him "less Christian."
"I don't think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state," said Obama. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans." (See video here) St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.

Huh? Christ complains about sexual immorality about a dozen times in the gospels.
obscure passage in Romans??
What other parts of the Bible should we discard, Sen. Obama??
Brokeback mount....
He’s confused about the term “mount”.
Did he discuss Adam and Edward?
Oh, leftists LOVE this MISquote. It justifies the very core of their belief system, that no behavior should be judged, even by naturally occuring consequences for that behavior.
Anyone hearing a leftie spout this MISquote should shove THE REST OF THE VERSE down their throats -
Don't judge, or you too will be judged BY THE SAME STANDARD!
Libs don't believe in standards of behavior, it must be why they leave this part off.
I missed it, where is the part of the Sermon on the Mount that says - blessed are the same sex marraiges???
He uses a different Bible than I do. I cant even figure out which part of the Sermon can be twisted and tortured enough to make it pro gay marriage
LOL!
Giddy up and mount your candidate!!! Ya ya ya mule!!! or is that “ya ya ya donkey”?
Another reason for Catholics not to vote for Obama!
What the Catechism of the Catholic Church says about homosexuality
Blessed are the cheesemakers...
Typical politician. A cafeteria Christian. You oughtn't sell you soul like that Obama hell will last a long time.
His trying to use the Bible to defend same-sex marriage is worse than his support of the practice in the first place.
Of course people understand so little about the bible these days, Obama can get away with this easily.
Let’s hear the black churches explain this one away. They of course will.
Barack-back mount
So Obama knows more about doctrine than the author of that obscure book of Romans? Paul will be surprised to hear this news...of course he knew we would go up against “principalities and powers” so he probably is not that surprised at all.
