I read Biden's comments as a direct threat to Christians. Exchange a few words, and this is precisely the type of statement that Joseph Goebbels or Adolph Hitler would have uttered in Germany circa 1935.

While addressing one of the nation's leading homosexual activist groups on Friday in the nation's capital, Vice President Joe Biden used the name of Jesus Christ in vain while defending the claim of the LGBT community that homosexuality is hereditary.
Biden was challenging prospective Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson's assertion last week that homosexuality is a choice … a learned behavior — not a gender or inherent biological state of being.
"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they're gay," the acclaimed neurosurgeon told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."
Apologizing later for his "choice of language" on a Facebook post, Carson wrote that even though he opposes same-sex "marriage" due to his Christian beliefs, individual states should be able to choose whether it's legal.
"I support civil unions for gay couples, and I have done so for many years," Carson expressed. "I support the right of individual states to sanction gay marriage, and I support the right of individual states to deny gay marriage in their respective jurisdictions."
Apology not good enough
Despite Carson's apology, Biden took the opportunity at the annual conference of the Washington, DC-based Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest pro-LGBT lobbying group, to condemn the GOP candidate for his belief that homosexual behavior is a learned trait.
"Every ridiculous assertion from Dr. Carson on — I mean, ridiculous. I mean, J****, G**," Biden exclaimed before the LGBT crowd. "Oh G**. I mean, it's kind of hard to fathom, isn't it?"
(Video at link.)
The vice president then resorted to name calling, insinuating that Carson and others who ascribe to the biblical view of homosexuality should be eradicated from the planet in the name of "equality" and "tolerance."
"We're never going to be able to eliminate the bigots," Biden continued his rant. "They're a small percentage of the population."
Biden went on to assure the pro-LGBT crowd that even though the Obama administration cannot enforce a thought police, people who stand for their religious convictions are in the process of being wiped out — as the White House's homosexual agenda continues to proliferate across the nation.
To date, 37 states plus the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage, whereas it was legal in only three states when Obama took office in January 2009. The president also erased the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, essentially normalizing homosexual behavior in the U.S. military and squashing religious freedom throughout every branch of the armed forces.
"They'll continue to be vocal," Biden conceded. "But make one thing absolutely clear, folks, they are an incredibly smaller and smaller minority. This country is changing."
Crafting homosexual behavior into a civil rights issue
Using the observance of Selma's "Bloody Sunday" 50th anniversary commemoration this weekend celebrating the black civil rights demonstrations of 1965, Biden argued that the homosexual agenda to legalize same-sex marriage is a modern-day reflection of Martin Luther King's civil rights movement.
"[It is] in fact the same basic movement," Biden contended.
For years, homosexual activists have insisted that there is such a thing as a "gay gene," even though clinical research has refuted such a claim. Embracing the debunked notion and selling point, the homosexual agenda argues that gender identity — what sexuality a person self-proclaims himself or herself to be — determines whether a person is male or female instead of biological characteristics.
Since officially declaring his allegiance with the homosexual agenda and promoting same-sex marriage in 2012 — just days before Obama made his public announcement endorsing such unions after his "evolution" on the issue from his 2008 election stance — Biden has pushed the LGBT doctrine that homosexuality and "transgenderism" are hereditary and a natural state of being. That belief contradicts the Judeo-Christian beliefs under which he was raised as a Roman Catholic.
"I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties," Biden proclaimed in 2012.
Both Biden and Obama have advocated for federal legalization of same-sex marriage via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would wipe out the remaining amendments protecting traditional marriage in the 13 states that don't currently recognize such unions. The high court's ruling that could negate those amendments is expected by late June.
Long past time to excommunicate this God-less weasel based solely on his slavish adherence to the wishes of “Planned Parenthood”on abortion .His further attack on the Bible is just the frosting on the cake.Biden is out of control and certainly is NOT a practicing Catholic.It is time for all Christians to have an epiphany and go on the attack.
I’m a bigot - and as a religious believer, I’m deeply offended!
Every time Biden opens his mouth, something stupid comes out.
Just read the quotes attributed to Biden. Either this is satire or he is a special kind of fool.

Claims to be a practicing Catholic
They don’t believe in abortion or gay marriage
Guess he needs to be excommunicated?
Ben Carson is no less a weasel.
He wants sodomy made legal on the grounds of states’ rights?
Would he take that position on abortion?
I will never vote for someone who prostrates themselves in front of the Lavender Mafia.
Catholic ping!
He needs some more practice. He's not very good at it.
——Scranton Joe apparently is an AC/DC kind of guy-—
I would argue Biden is an ordinary money guy
He panders to queers because that’s where the money is
That is one of the most absurd statements I've seen on FR, and that's saying something. And get used to it, that's the best we're gonna do on this issue I'm afraid. It's where the GOP nominee, even if it's Cruz or Walker or someone else good, is going to come down on it. Marriage licenses are doled out by states, so it has to be a state issue. Yes, I realize the major problems with this "across state lines" - but that's something that will have to be dealt with.
Just amazing. The democrats will let what Biden said pass and the media will let it pass and the Republican politicians will let it pass, but the Lord won’t.
It should be taken that way.
Foot-in-mouth Joe seems to always one-up himself when talking about anything. We Christians, since we’re a vocal and small “minority” will either be pushed aside or dealt with severely.
"Oh, don't mind Uncle Joe. You know how he is."
"Oh, don't mind Uncle Joe. You know how he is."
To think that the rest of us watch in stunned amazement while the government imbeciles place homosexuals on a pedestal.
To think that making the act of shoving one’s pee-pee up another’s poo-poo normal behavior worthy of admiration from people we vote for to represent us at the seat of the central socialist government.
He probably enjoys giving them ‘access’.
“Jesus, God” is taking the Lord’s name in vain? Didn’t know that.
The Democrats are aggressively pro gay to the point of wanting to hand out prizes to anyone who is gay. The drive by media is also aggressively pro gay. I'm noticing Glenn Beck making some very pro gay noises on his show. There are only a small percentage of republicans who are Christians who are the last holdouts. Rush says over and over that his Republican friends often ask "What are we going to do about those Christians?".
If sodomites wish to commit themselves exclusively to another, I say that is much more healthy than being promiscuous.
If a state wants to recognize a contract between two individual of the same sex to form a sort of partnership, I say that's a basic function of government.
ON THE OTHER HAND
I believe marriage is a sacred religious right, and that calling a civil contract between two people of the same sex a marriage is like calling a bath a baptism! And I also believe this is a STATE issue, to be decided by the states.
