Obama: Sermon on Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions

The Chief has always been amazed at allegedly Republican people being attracted to B.H.O. given his rabid liberalism, which couldn’t be highlighted any brighter than it is with this.

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.”

“I don’t think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state,” said Obama. “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.” ((Hear audio from WTAP-TV)) St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.

I don’t think that even Hill and Bill would have said this…although they may well THINK it.

B.O. then goes on, predictably enough to misunderstand one of the biblical scriptures that is incorrectly used by liberals trying to justify their radical relativism:

Obama’s mention of the Sermon on the Mount in justifying legal recognition of same-sex unions may have been a reference to the Golden Rule: “Do to others what you would have them do to you.” Or it may have been a reference to another famous line: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”

To put this into some context: (from the KJV, Matthew 7):
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

It does NOT say “judge not”. It DOES warn one to be sure that their judgements are correct, for one will be held to the standard that they use in judging the the actions of others.

B.O. really has this wrong…this will be grist for the campaign mill for sure.
