President Obama Pledges to be Champion to Gays

America was a country founded on Christian principles. President Obama campaigned as a Christian man wanting to be the leader of a country of Christians. America is not a Christian nation, we are a nation of Christians.

Because of that many of our laws are based in Christianity. The Bible says, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." (Leviticus 18:22)

If you hold that the Old Testemant no longer applies because of the coming and sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ, the New Testemant offers its words as well:

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders....will inherit the kingdom of God." (1 Corinthians 4:1)

God did not created homosexuals, though they like to champion that argument despite the fact that many do not believe in God. Homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God, as well as many men and women.

While it is a sin, homosexual men and women should be protected from discrimination. You wouldn't keep a man who committed adultry from a job based on that fact alone, neither should you refuse a homosexual man a job.

This agenda is being forced down the throats of the American people day after day. The media portrays this as a natural thing and something that should be seen as normal.

President Obama said, during a White House meeting with gay leaders, that "I want you to know: You have our support. I will not only be your friend, I will continue to be an ally and a champion and a president who fights with you and for you."

He continued, "I know many in this room don't believe that progress has come fast enough. And I understand that," Obama said. But he added: "I expect and hope to be judged not by words, not by promises I've made, but by promises that my administration keeps."

While I do not hold anything against a person for being homosexual, I hate the sin, and love the sinner, I do not expect my President to be a champion for a cause he claims to be against by labeling himself as a Christian.

Should homosexuals be afforded the same rights as other people? In most cases yes, but not in all. They want to change the definition of marriage, the definition of a word that has been unchanged for thousands of years. I cannot, and will not stand by that. If they are affored the benefits of marriage then the slide down the slippery slope begins. The next thing to go is the man who wants 6 wives, then the man who's in love with a horse, then the man who loves children.

I am glad that I live in a nation of Christians. A nation that is open to the idea of loving their fellow man. The founding of this great country was based on Christian principles, but none of our laws require you to be a member of that religion. That is the beauty of the country. We love everyone, everyone is welcome to practice what they believe, but you must adhere to the laws of the country or you must suffer the consequences under the law.

We also have a Republic that respects the right of the individual. Too often, though, the case has been that unless you are a member of a special interest group, or a minority your opinion is invalid. That is not something that can stand in this country. We are ruled by a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The only problem now is that the people are the ones being left out of that equation.
