After the Supreme Court issued its ruling on gay marriage Friday, President Obama gave a speech in which he said Americans need to change their religious views to be accepting of gay marriage, the Daily Caller reported. To that end, he encouraged gay marriage supporters to "help people overcome their deeply-held religious views.
I know that Americans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue, he said. Initially, he exhibited a bit of respect for those who oppose same-sex marriage.
"Opposition in some cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs, he said. All of us who welcome todays 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 added. The implication was clear: Those who disagree with the idea of gay marriage based, for example, on their religious views, must change to be more like progressives who accept gay marriage.
Shifts in hearts and minds is possible, he added. 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.
"Thats always been our story," he continued. "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 Americas a place where you can write your own destiny.

Welcome this.
You recognize my beliefs.
And go wash your hands...

The lying POS, he says this while lighting up The Peoples House who he's a guest at in rainbow colors in celebration of sodomy.
Will he be building absorption chambers like what Landru had in the Star Trek TOS episode “Return of the Archons”?
Absolutely no knowledge of the Christian faith, whatsoever.
Um, see “separation of Church and State”. It is absolutely none of the government’s freaking business what people believe metaphysically.
Applyes to the SC manufactured "crisis" too.
Yeesh...applies
An alarming choice of words coming from an aspiring tyrant; words that offer an unlimited range of unnatural possibilities.
It's long been acknowledged that in order to solve the problems of dysfunctional black communities, black men are going to have to step up and accept their obligations as fathers and husbands. Demetrius needs a father and a mother, that's what everyone in a position to know agrees on. So how does "Demetrius has two mommies" do anything but further destroy black and other challenged environments?
Blacks have not awakened in time. It has to be deliberate that Obama is destroying black communities! If "black lives matter" then "black families matter" has to be part of the equation.
Beyond disgusted.
How about Muslims shifting religious acceptance of slavery, female-mutilation and... hmmm... I don’t know... CHOPPING PEOPLE’S HEADS OFF!
Unlike him, my positions don’t evolve. They are non-negotiable and are an integral part of who I am.
In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.- Thomas Jefferson
I’m perfectly comfortable with who I am. It’s you people who can’t come to terms with being a man, woman, collie, or a cow flop. That’s a personal problem and it’s all yours. You can’t make me responsible for, or even sympathetic with your inadequacies.
Uh, no.
True religious views don’t change, 0butthole.
The Dharma says homosexuality is a neurosis.
My own observation confirms that to be true.
Celebrating neurosis is very damaging to the mind.
Try a religion other than Islam, you slimy piece of ***t.

“I babble, babble, blah, blah, blah, Babble, destiny.”
Evil comes in many forms, and one of those forms is sitting in the White House, doing an absolutely fabulous job of trying to erode and destroy values, mores, belief systems. Do not fall for this “false prophet,” AKA, “prophet of doom.” Christians are warned against this manipulation and must stay the course, maintain their beliefs. Besides, not a day goes by that 0Bamma does not lie, and subvert the truth and exceptionalism of this country. He represents so much that is evil and wrong!!!!!!!!
That’s not exactly how religion works, there Bamster. God comes before country.
