OBAMA argues that “Religious Liberty” that the Constitution DOES mention does not rise above the level of LGBT same-sex marriage – that the constitution does NOT mention at all!! i.e. an “imaginary constitution”

From:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pope...-house-reiterates-religious/story?id=34154165

White House press secretary Josh Earnest reiterated that Davis is not above the rule of law.
...
Earnest stressed that President Obama believes "religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their basic constitutional rights."

One small example from that site -

  • December 2009-Present - The annual White House Christmas cards, rather than focusing on Christmas or faith, instead highlight things such as the family dogs. And the White House Christmas tree ornaments include figures such as Mao Tse-Tung and a drag queen. [1]
  • June 2013 – The Obama Department of Justice defunds a Young Marines chapter in Louisiana because their oath mentioned God, and another youth program because it permits a voluntary student-led prayer. [2]
  • February 2013 – The Obama Administration announces that the rights of religious conscience for individuals will not be protected under the Affordable Care Act. [3]
  • January 2013 – Pastor Louie Giglio is pressured to remove himself from praying at the inauguration after it is discovered he once preached a sermon supporting the Biblical definition of marriage.[4]
  • February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion. [5]
  • January 2012 – The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis. [6]
  • December 2011 – The Obama administration denigrates other countries' religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights. [7][8][9]
  • August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception. [10]
  • April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring. [11]
  • February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. [12]
  • January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court. [13]
  • November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E pluribus unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal law. [14]
  • October 19, 2010 – Obama begins deliberately omitting the phrase about “the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions. [15][16]
  • April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name be covered when he is making his speech. [17]
  • April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three. [18]
  • February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011. [19]
  • April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they “cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who aren't like them.” [20]

Religious Liberty condemned by Obama Administration - when it conflicts with "an imaginary constitution" that speaks about the right to polygamy polyandry, inappropriate behavior with animals same sex marriage etc. In other words "imagining things into the constitution" is of more weight and value - than real life - religious liberty according to the Obama Administration.

from: http://www.wnd.com/2015/09/obama-gay-trumps-religion-in-constitution/

President Obama, who has been trying to reframe the Constitution’s protection of religious rights to the narrower “freedom to worship” rather than “freedom of religion” went a step further over the weekend in an address to a homosexual festival.

He said at the Democratic National Committee’s LGBT Gala in New York that the Constitution’s protections for “gay” rights trump the protection for religious rights.

“We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions,” he said. ‘But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesn’t grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.”

Obama said that “even as we are respectful and accommodating of genuine concerns and interests of religious institutions, we need to reject politicians who are supporting new forms of discrimination as a way to scare up votes.”

“That’s not how we move America forward,” he said.

The conflict arose when the Supreme Court in June created a right to “same-sex marriage,” overturning the votes of people in a majority of states.

14th Ammendment: adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

(We can see no provision here for marrying your dog, your sister, ten women, or for redefining marriage. Hence LGBT man can marry a woman (Gen 2) just like every other man in the U.S. can marry a woman under this section.)

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.[1]

In the case of SSM – that “never happened”

Chief Justice - John Roberts -

The Court today not only overlooks our country’s entire history and tradition but actively repudiates it,
...

But for those who believe in a government of laws, not of men, the majority’s approach is deeply disheartening.

The majority graciously suggests that religious believers may continue to “advocate” and “teach” their views of marriage. The First Amendment guarantees, however, the freedom to “exercise” religion. Ominously, that is not a word the majority uses. Hard questions arise when people of faith exercise religion in ways that may be seen to conflict with the new right to same-sex marriage—when, for example, a religious college provides married student housing only to opposite-sex married couples, or a religious adoption agency declines to place children with same-sex married couples… Unfortunately, people of faith can take no comfort in the treatment they receive from the majority today

" Under the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be," he wrote.

The chief justice also suggested that the logic applied by the majority to same-sex marriage might also be employed to defend polygamy, writing, "It is striking how much of the majority's reasoning would apply with equal force to the claim of a fundamental right to plural marriage."
..
Celebrate the availability of new benefits. But do not celebrate the Constitution. It had nothing to do with it."

It could be argued that what transpired in the activist SCOTUS court in June was a step by step process organized very early on by the players involved and at the highest level.
The American Psychiatric Association started the domino fall by claiming, with no new research to support their claim mind you, that contrary to what they'd said in every published DSM for years, now with the new publication, and I can't recall which number that was, SS behavior was no longer going to be deemed a mental illness.

That was the first domino to fall so as to make way for legalization later on. And then SCOTUS violated the 10th amendment in order to vacate the rights of the states, because marriage is not a federal license but the individual state contract, (
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.)
And decreed that a former mental illness that is a sexual disorientation behavior has the right to be equal with straight citizens contractual marriages.

This is why Liberty Counsel and others say that SCOTUS wrote new law. Because they did. But we should have see this coming when they struck down sodomy laws long years before, and vacated DOMA and its definition of marriage not long before their June decision.

This though sends the message to every dysfunctional coupling. That they have the constitutional right to follow the case law SCOTUS wrote with this decision and demand the right to enter into a state civil union contract too.

And sure enough just about the day after the SCOTUS decision in June, a threesome in Colorado arrived at a clerks office and applied for a marriage license for what would have been the second wife in a currently licensed lawful heterosexual married couples family.
They were refused. For now.

But you know, it is all as God wills. Remember what scripture tells us about what it is that is lord of this earth. Consider that all this that is what some I know call the rebirth of Sodom in the U.S., is allowed by God so that the wheat and the tares shall become apparent. So that the test of righteousness is put forth. Those who align with the world and against God, and we've seen this in the community of Christ itself nation wide, will become an example of all that scripture tells us is true. And that some may not believe until it unfolds as prophesied right before their eyes. The falling away. Of churches and those who claim the name of Christ.
"I never knew you...." I find it fascinating that we are witnessing those to whom that verse and those words when it comes time after this world, apply.

God have mercy on his people.

Yep, I think the Hyperbole Of The Year Award committee can take the rest of the year off.

You heard it hear first, kids. A Christmas card with the family dog on it is more dangerous to Christianity than a tonnes of supersonic HE ordnance is to ISIS.

In real life - I quoted another website that lists items chronologically - and the most recent religious liberty item I listed show up first in my OP.

As it turns out.

So here is the US Catholic stand

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:

http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-act...rriage/upload/Bulletin-AFTER-Scotus-brown.pdf

The Supreme Court has tragically declared that states must issue marriage licenses to twopersons of the same sex and recognize same sex “marriages” that were contracted in another state. This broad, adverse ruling redefines marriage
in the law throughout the entire country, changing thousands of laws regarding marriage, family and children and threatening religious freedom in numerous ways.Regardless of what a narrow majority of the Supreme Court may declare at this moment in history, the nature of the human person and marriage remains unchanged and unchangeable.

Archbishop Kurtz, President of the USCCB

====================================

They stand in favor of the Bible when confronted with Obama opposition to it -- while some Catholics simply vote for "more of it" as it comes to that opposition

I've sent many Christmas cards without any religious content. Am I conducting a war on Christianity? Does this open job opportunities with the Illuminati or whatever?

Those who mock the persecution of Christians living in America hope to dismiss the impact of Christianity being impacted more and more by law in America.

Like the Freedom From Religion Foundation, who has one president who was a former pastor, and who want to see Christianity disappear in America. But they use the ruse of separation of church and state as an inroad to accomplish that end.
And you'll notice they rarely assault any other religion. Probably because they don't yet boast an ex-Imam in their ranks.

So to shall you encounter those atheists who imagine because Christians are still alive in America it is proof they are not being oppressed in America.

When we are hanged, imprisoned, beheaded, abroad, when our children are beheaded because they refuse to convert to the other religion such atheists never condemn, those same atheists that mock us in America are rarely seen to say a word about it. But deep down inside you can tell by how they respond to Christians in America, and often when they themselves don't live here, they're laughing at the plight of those Christian dead. Because they hate Christians.

I once heard an atheist laugh when he learned ISIS was killing Christians overseas. I remember standing there on the subway car listening to that buffoon blather on in his Aussie accent, because he'd been earlier speaking of being in the city on vacation, and saying that he didn't get why anyone grieved.
They're going th Heaven, right?
He said.
What's so bad about that except for that moment of suffering that sends them off?

He didn't need to tell anyone he was an atheist.

By the time he got off the train everyone was quiet and standing , even those who had been seated, and granted the car wasn't that full, were acting as one and staring at him. Because in the course of his blathering his volume was up there so as to reach everyone with his hateful words.
I think maybe that wasn't his stop but he did get off that train.

Consider that all this that is what some I know call the rebirth of Sodom in the U.S., is allowed by God so that the wheat and the tares shall become apparent.

Completely agree with that view. The "wheat" and "tares" are in the same field, that is, the Christian church ... the political church not the spiritual Church.

I'll second that. There is no question that Mr. Obama is an enemy of Christians and a friend of radical Islamists. His policies as well as his public statements bear that out. And he has worn for quite some time an Islamic ring on his finger which proclaims his allegiance to Allah.
http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/obamas-ring-there-is-no-god-but-allah/.
Ugh. Say it with me people... S-N-O-P-E-S... http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/weddingring.asp

Obama's ring. Note complete absence of any language.​
