i take umbrage to this title set and this authors preconceived notion that Pres. presumably knew that God was alright with Gay marriage.
WASHINGTON — In 2004, Barack Obama cited his Christian faith while explaining his opposition to same-sex marriage. "What I believe, in my faith, is that a man and a woman, when they get married, are performing something before God, and it's not simply the two persons who are meeting," he said.Eight years later, he cited his faith again when he became the first sitting president to endorse marriage equality."When we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you know? Treat others the way you'd want to be treated," Obama said.
problem: not everyone especially those on the right think that first, they start off their day with "who should i hat on first? golden rule how many of them would be able to withstand the ongoing onsluaght of vitriol they throw at the Pres., they follow very few of the Commandments they prove that daily.
although the Bible does not condone homosexuallity it dose not say God HATES THEM, as many signs you see carried by those who oppose.
What changed in Obama's understanding of the Bible and Christianity between 2004 and 2012 is one of the last mysteries of his transformation from opponent to champion of marriage equality. While the president has explained this evolution in personal and political terms — citing conversations with gay friends, and the changing attitudes of the public — he has never directly explained how he came to believe that God approves of same-sex marriage.
because he never stated he believes that that is putting words in places they were not, square peg round hole syndrome.
wonder if and how far they will go with the new Pope and his expressed unorthodox approach to Catholicism?
and they told you he was a Muslim.
