So why did Obama even bring up the point?
P.S.
The amount of personal attacks in this thread gave me a huge laugh. Keep it classy lefties.
LOL! Getting called on your phony outrage by Incorruptible. That's like Chris Brown telling you you to be nicer to your girlfriend.
I would call you retarded but frankly that would be an insult to mentally disabled.
I don't know about Obama, but I feel certain somebody has thought about forcing churches to marry gays.
I bet they're gonna try to do it too.

And which state legislature does the Wesboro Baptist Church control?

And if past precedent is looked at along with the gay rights movement equating its struggle to the civil rights movement, the possibility is very real.
two examples
the bob jones university incident where the IRS was used to go after the private university for it's policy against interracial dating, threatening to take away their tax exemption, before that the religious right didn't exist and tried to stay out of politics.
read about it here, the real reason the religious right was created, and it wasn't because of the pro-life antiabortion movement they proudly tout the last forty years.

the Mormon church was sued in federal court by the NAACP for its discriminatory practices against blacks in its hierarchy, then miraculously had a revelation allowing blacks to progress equally up the church ranks,
and that is the real reason the Mormon church pushed for proposition 8 in California because they feared that the government directly or indirectly through a federal lawsuit could once again make them have a new revelation accepting gay marriage.:whiste:

Why else would he come out and say he wont do it? Obviously he had put some thought into the idea.
This has been voiced as a concern by many religious groups and you KNOW THAT.
Obamas answer was a reassurement that it won't come to that if he gets to decide the matter.
You're being either daft or dishonest, take your pick.
holy shit a red herring got this much play are u ppl stoopid
Project & jump to conclusions often?
Somebody? Somebody like who, exactly?
Apparently somebody you imagine to exist...
They need fresh outrage on a daily basis in order to keep the Faith, to prevent any sort of introspection or self examination. Their worldview can't withstand much of that at all.
Care to support this?I don't know about Obama, but I feel certain somebody has thought about forcing churches to marry gays.
I bet they're gonna try to do it too.
Who is "they?" It seems to be one person.
But keep that left wing rage at the imaginary right wing going. Rage on, fellow rager.
That's deliberately obtuse, considering the absurd premise of this thread & the contributions of members.
The premise and the linked article in the OP are in such stark contrast that anybody who buys into the OP's conspiracy theory at all deserves ridicule.
Not rejecting such notions as paranoid lunacy indicates a certain degree of buy-in, while projecting the future based on the premise is even more.
I suggest quite strongly that any member who bought into this at all take a look at themselves, that's all. Take a look at your most cherished beliefs, because you can't possible even entertain the OP's POV if your own is vaguely rational.
If being manipulated feels good, that's OK. That's what it's supposed to do. However, it's best to recognize it for what it is, and as an ongoing process, before one's worldview is totally warped.
If you cant see that Obama has considered forcing churches to do this, you view is warped by being in his bum hole.
And if he doesn't deny it he is obviously guilty.So if people ask him whether the government will do that and he answers that they won't it's automatically an acknowledgement that they will or that they have at least considered it? Understood.
michal1980, are you a member of Al Qaida planning to murder millions of Americans with a dirty bomb?
Note that any answer you give is an acknowledgement that you indeed are, or that you have at least considered joining Al Qaida and doing that.
