I’m not the biggest fan of Jimmy Carter...but in his book he talks about how his Christian faith has sustained him though life. That’s a message worth telling. Good for you, Mr. Carter. And congratulations on the award.
“I believe Jesus would approve of gay marriage,” Carter said this week in an interview with HuffPost Live.
And he believes Jesus would approve abortion in the cases of rape and incest.
Carter told interviewer Marc Lamont Hill, “I never have run across any really serious conflicts between my political obligations and my religious faith.”
When Hill asked if Jesus Christ would support redefining marriage, Carter replied, “I believe Jesus would. I don’t have any verse in Scripture.”
“I believe Jesus would approve gay marriage, but that’s just my own personal belief,” the 39th president said.
“I think Jesus would encourage any sort of love affair that was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else,” he added. “And I don’t think that gay marriage damages anyone else.”
Whether through the Bible, the Quran or the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Carter entreats his fellow citizens to draw on “these visions of improved human interrelationships...to meet the challenges of the present moment.”

Not sure the faith of Jimmy Carter is particularly Christian.
Carter is not a Christian. He claims Jesus would have approved of queer marriage and abortion. On marriage he’s said he could have been just as happy “married” to a man as a woman. The older he gets the crazier he gets. His comments about marriage means he’s also a closeted queer.
