Let Christ himself be the Judge of that and let the voters judge character and competence for the office sought. However, there is something grating when Obama attempts to use the Bible to justify what is clearly sin in the Bible--where he pits Leviticus against the Sermon on the Mount--and that to obey the commandment to love one another we must accept same-sex marriage. If you're in favor of same-sex marriage, just say so. But don't try to confuse young, clueless Christians into thinking that standing up for traditional marriage is unChristian.

However, there is something grating when Obama attempts to use the Bible to justify what is clearly sin in the Bible–where he pits Leviticus against the Sermon on the Mount–and that to obey the commandment to love one another we must accept same-sex marriage.

If you’re in favor of same-sex marriage, just say so. But don’t try to confuse young, clueless Christians into thinking that standing up for traditional marriage is unChristian.
