When it was originally instituted by Thomas Jefferson it was called separation of State and Church. It was meant so the state doesn't interfere with issues of the church. Obama can't be a christian and a Muslim. That's contradicting the Biblical definition of a christian which is a true believer, follower and disciple of Christ. Over 80% of America claims to be christian. If they were 'true' christians, the christian churches in America would be far bigger. 80% doesn't go to church.

Better to watch your tongue and NOT make any mistakes than only make mistakes when you open your mouth like Bush does. Everyone in a position of power stutters, it is a human fact. You cannot not be nervous when you are having a speech which will be analysed by critics and where your every word will be used by politicians against you. Obama never sounds calculating, he sounds smart, educated and very, very, very CONVINCING! Try imagine you're in his shoes and do a better job yourself. Hardly....
Marriage is religious institution. So the state should not be making any laws about it. You want separation of church and state, then stop trying to get gay marriage approved since it is a religious concept and idea. By the way "Separation of Church and State" is found no where in the constitution.
Wait wait so gays do not have "civil rights"? Really I was unaware that gays could not vote, sit anywhere on a bus, or even had to drink from a "gay" water fountain. Gay people have civil rights, they just don't have a couple "privlages". But gay people can vote, get jobs. That was just a moronic statement you made.

lol i live quarter mile away from the church. What a great church.
Obama got OWNED in the forum, truth is he can't give a straight answer to easy questions because he wants to be all thing to all people. Maybe he should acting like a leader instead of giving vague answers all the time.
