I don’t get to use this word to often, so here goes: Blasphemy!

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.

First, Obama should probably actually bother to read the Sermon on the Mount. I doubt homosexuality would make the grade for “pure in heart”, or “thirst for righteousness”. I would also suggest he rereads vs 19 & 20 of Matthew 5:

Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

To get to the book of Matthew he must have stumbled upon Genesis and read Sodom and Gamora.

The “obscure reference in Romans” is probably Romans 1: 26 & 27:

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

I am really getting tired of writing about this guy. He is the antithesis of everything I believe in, every things I stand for, and everything I hope to see in my lifetime.
