p>President Barack Obama urged supporters of same-sex marriage Friday to “help” people to overcome their religious convictions, so they are no longer held back from a progressive American view of equality.
“I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue,” he said in a speech following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling to Constitutionally recognize same-sex marriage. He initially espoused respect for those who disagree with the ruling.
“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 continued, abruptly switching gears, clearly implying that those who disagree must come around to the more righteous, more American, and more equal view of marriage.
“Shifts in hearts and minds is possible,” he said. “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. 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.”
God.
Satire?
Is he really ready to take on the Muslims about the Koranic views of marriage? Is he ready to go,preach homosexual love to his tribesmen in ever tolerant Afruca?
This isn’t America anymore this is the Obama plantation if you dare speak out in support of your own beliefs you will be whipped into submission, the intolerant left has spoken.
Obama votes to ditch God. God votes to ditch Obama. How will that work out for him?
Rolling week of disaster.
Lord of the Flies
The government will now determine what the tenets on your faith will be.
He is one of the devils own.
Someone who imagines he can veto God’s commandments.
How bout making a film of Chicago’s upcoming “Pride” parade for distribution to all Catholic and Baptist and MUSLIM schools and congregations? That should shift some attitudes
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Well.... I'm not saying that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ but he obviously believes the same thing as the anti-Christ so if he is not him, he is the forerunner of him.
Jesus. The usurper, Muslim, USA destroyer of freedom thinks he is The Gift.
Ah yes, he will accept differences so long as they agree with him.
Never never never never never....
Remember he said he was the first Jewish president and that no one has done more for Israel. He clearly has no relationship with truth and reality.
“President Barack Obama urged supporters of same-sex marriage Friday to “help” people to overcome their religious convictions, so they are no longer held back from a progressive American view of equality.”
WTF?!?!?
Bring it on. Pervert. Sodomite.
Crushing the devout religious is what this is all about.
yes, some of the politicans are trying to doing this...
there is something strange or at least dangerous about how everyone (the homosexuals as well as many Christians, others) are all running to the government these days to get their beliefs affirmed or “legitimized”
as if the govt were God.
we acn get good politicians sometimes, we can surely get bad politicians, but so far.. .none of them is even close to being God
I thought that went out with the fall of the Roman Empire? anyway, i am not commenting on the politicians so much as the large number of citizens who seem to want the govt/politicans to serve as their Faith Definers/Affirmers
I can’t understand why. The very last group of people I would go to ... to ask a faith question.... would be today’s crooked, lying politicians!
He needs to start by convincing his buddy Rev. Wright's friend Louis Farrakhan that Minister Farrakhan should overcome his religious convictions about gay marriage. When he has done that, then he should come and tell the Christians what to believe.
