[Apologetics] Obama: Sermon on Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions

Stuart,

An important clarification. Your formated e-mail

Of course, I wrote NO such thing! The quotation from
Senator Obama was contained in my e-mail message, but
in no way was I endorsing his comments.

Quite the contrary.

I sent the article from CNS News because it is
outrageous--to put it mildly--for Obama to claim that
homosexual unions are justified by the Sermon on the
Mount.
