I'm not personally judging; I'm interested in a consensus of the folks who frequent this forum...just curious.

Quoting scripture is fine, as long as it isn't being thrown about as fact or law I don't care.

Fuck off.

I'm really not trolling...I'm curious. I've seen the debate on this forum so much I wonder how his biblical comments were taken. I personally have no issues but I could give a shit about ones religious or atheists mindset. Should the President make religious statements?

Nope, not going to fuck off...thanks for asking.

To me (in the context he used it), it's like quoting poetry or a proverb. There's a lot of wisdom to be found in the bible, I only have trouble when people take those words as completely infallible.

Obama made reference to Scripture during a speech in Connecticut tied to the recent school incident.

If Bush did it, its bad but its ok for Barry to say it.

The problem here is your apparent inability to see the difference between quoting scripture at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims, and denying the right to marry for homosexual couples because the Bible.

OP, I thought you were gonna stop posting in religious threads? Uh-oh, you done sinned. Better go to confession. Oh, you're Irish? Uh oh, hope you're not a Protestant.

I'm Irish and you are implying...what? Am I restricted from asking a question? I didn't realize I needed your opinion or approval.

I thought I asked a fairly simple question.

As I've stated previously I don't mind; I'm asking for opinions....thus the original post.

The president knows that the word of God is always appropriate and helpful in good and troubled times.

2,000 years of perfection...and couting.
