I love you, Dee. That was a well thought out, measured response. I would have just called him an idiot!

I prefer to let them display their own ignorance to the world. His response to my last post was:

I do take the Bible literally. It is also true that New Testament provides a new covenant with the people that many of the old laws do not neccessarily apply. We do not dare judge, but knowing right from wrong is and should be guided by Biblical teachings. We all sin and yet as Christians, we should not become hung up on sin because that is not the purpose of Christ setting us free. "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery" Gal 5:1. I'm not good at quoting scripture and do not ever try to impress others with my "lack of" knowledge. Being free applies to man's and God's law. Being free does not mean we avoid either.

I am not responding because I know there's no point because it is clear he is contradicting himself in his own post. I take it literally, but many of the old laws do not necessarily apply.. that says it all. "I pick and choose which rules to follow but other people need to follow my rules"

SMH. Not only that, he said right there that "we do not dare judge..." Ummm.

As to the timing of Obama's announcement, no one needs to be grateful. It is self serving, but everything a politician does is. Obviously he had these opinions for awhile since he would no longer defend DOMA, but politics are politics. No sitting president is going to come out and say something that "inflammatory" without testing the waters first. Biden and the cabinet members said their piece without backlash, so the President got to plan his entrance strategically on the morning after NC made an ass of itself.
