[No Dems 2004]

Any true Christian doesn't deride the Bible by saying this: ". . . If people find that controversial, then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans."

Um, Mr. Obama, maybe you've not read the Bible much but there's nothing 'obscure' about the passage in Romans and it's repeated elsewhere in the Bible, both New Testament and Old. In fact, the author of this 'obscure' passage in Romans, the Apostle Paul, was the author of much of the New Testament. Mr. Obama, you don't deserve the presidency. You're a fake.

CNS NEWS.com: "OBAMA: SERMON MOUNT JUSTIFIES SAME-SEX UNIONS" by Terrence P. Jeffrey (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized abortion does not make him "less Christian."") (March 3, 2008)

Obama is a "Christian" as much as a dog is a cat./sheesh

"Let him who has eyes, see, let him who has ears, hear"!!

Wow, I must be reading a different translation because I have read the sermon on the Mount and do not remember it recognizing homosexual unions.

"I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer property to each other," he said, referring to unions that grant all the legal benefits of marriage, minus the name.

Which specific legal benefits of marriage is he referring to...paying extra taxes? And if they want to develop a legal document where you can designate any given individual to have visitation rights in the case of hospitalization I don't see any issues with that...but it doesn't require redefining marriage or even creating some other form of legal coupling...a simple legal document should suffice.

Just another lying, scumbag liberal. An empty suit, a phony, a charlatan.

No offense to the baptists, but do we have a mainstream source for these comments before I start e-mailing it to friends?

an obscure passage in Romans LMAO

My first thought:

The limo - cocaine and a guy..........

Someone said earlier that the guy in the limo failed the polygraph. I haven’t read anything to the contrary.

Anyone have links?

So sodomites are “living in sin” because they aren’t married? Who knew?

Um, Mr. Obama, maybe you've not read the Bible much but there's nothing 'obscure' about the passage in Romans and it's repeated elsewhere in the Bible, both New Testament and Old.

Um, he's a constitutional scholar and yet doesn't understand the 2nd Amendment either.

[taxesareforever]

an “obscure passage” in the Bible? What else does he consider obscure? The Sixth Commandment, Thou shalt not kill? Guess so, since he supports abortion.

“In addition to the Sermon on the Mount, let us also consider the fact that Chewbacca the Wookie is from the planet Endor...”

Sermon on men mounting is more like it.

Obama: Sermon on the Mount supports gay civil unions (Obama derides the Bible)

Obama also says he prays to Jesus every night most Christians I know pray to Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus Christ!

ping!

The Messiah, Barack ("Peace Be Upon His Middle No Name") Obama's, "Sermon on The Mount"

[pallis]

Well, so much for Mr. Obama’s devout Christianity. It didn’t take him long to reveal his true master. The spirit that possesses him is not so obscure as his understanding of scripture.

If Conservatives stay home it will be...”I Barak Hussein Obama, do solemly swear”......Think about it folks....
