(45,319 posts)Look. Obama says he is a big Christian. That faith teaches that mistreatment of a prisoner is a great crime against God and man. Done to Jesus himself in fact.
If Obama gets to shout about what the Bible says when it suits him, then those who exploit Obama for their own personal rhetorical agenda will need to deal with the fact that the same Bible says what was done to Manning was a crime done to Jesus the Christ himself.
You say it was not a crime? The Bible Obama threw at gay people does not agree with you, Obama says he believes the Bible. I guess he just rejects the parts that might alter his own actions?
So what you call animosity many would call 'quoting Jesus'.
It sure is not 'hate'. Hate is the greatest poison on the planet, it is not political opinion about policies, it is that which causes folks like Assad to gas their peers, which causes straight folks to attack gay people for existing. Each day people die because of hate. But you claim a political disagreement is hate.
What a lush and protected life it must be to reach such conclusions.
