a well known catholic organisation in britain has declared to stop offering assistance to house children if legislation forces them to under the guise of homosexual adoption which the muslim leaders have condemned as well both faiths are against the common enemy both faiths are united against you

in all history both faiths have failed to agree until now this will spread throughout the whole world

@mectarius It's unconstitutional and un-American for any organized religion to dictate matters of government. The First Amendment of the US Constitution reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." To guarantee an atmosphere of absolute religious liberty, the founders mandated the strict separation of church and state. It's not the government's role to promote, endorse or fund religious institutions or religious beliefs.

his actions have spoken louder for homosexuals than children or the homeless the needy the hungry

[VJnet]

@mectarius There are homosexual children, homeless homosexuals and gay, lesbian bi-sexual & transgender people who are also hungry and in need. Currently homosexuals do not have protection, equal access, and rights to programs that assist children, the homeless and those in need.

@JiraiyaQWERT and @ThrillerDude360 Maybe next time you shouldn't assume to know what a person believes in based on what religion you think they might follow. You're ignorant assumption that I'm a Christian (I'm not) blinded you and had nothing to do with what I said. Sarcasm doesn't translate well when one doesn't know you well. A person can only base things on what you say in your comment. You're a bit naive to think that everyone can read minds and know what you mean.

I don't even live in America and I respect this man deeply.

Barack Obama is an amazing man, I hope that he'll be just as good as he's doing right now in the future.

it is the police who enforce the law the criminal who writes it and the homosexual who uses it

but finally the police will do whats right and if they dont they too will face a judgement they could never dream of
