Do we need to move this "Chruch vs State" into a new thread?

Actually HL had already agreed to all but three of the contraceptive options out of the 20 something the law was trying to force so they were not being unreasonable.

Don't let your silly facts muddy up these waters.

Well it was fun revisiting the Hobby Lobby discussion for some reason. As for this thread, it seems to be much the same topics as the politics thread (Obama yay Obama boo Obama meh) so I can't see any need for it to stay open, especially when we're just arguing about something old. I'll leave it a bit longer, see if something unique can come out of it to justify it existing alongside the politics thread.

Threads like this remind me that we as a species still have a long way to go.

The president is made out to be this mythic figure responsible for all our woes or salvations. While the red tribe thumps thier chest and declares he's the worst ever. The blue tribe beats the ground and snorts that he'd do a better job without the red tribes meddling. While alot who belong to neither tribe entirely scratch their butts and go meh good and bad.

The fact we claim to be so advanced and still suffer from self centered tribal mentality is both amusing and saddening.

Oh and Im in the meh tribe. In the end hes only human.

Because they are!

In 1963 after the alleged JFK assassination John F Kennedy was sent the moon to be the first man to walk on the moon. This was kept secret to us and we were made to believe he was assassinated on November 22nd 1963.

Upon arrival his mission was to clear the moon of any alien life to make future moon landings easy and safe. He lived on the moon for 26 years hunting and slaying aliens until NASA lost communication....his death has still not been confirmed however and many believe hes still murdering aliens today.

Animate that and set it to the music of Queen's "Princes of the Universe" and it might be the best thing ever.

The hread is literally called "What's your opinion of Obama?". I...am confused and not sure of what you expected it to be about other than "Obama ya / meh / boo".

Maybe he was expecting someone to worship him like a deity?

Would the Devil be considered a deity? Not saying he is Satan reborn just saying he is terrible

Bet a dollar I can make fried catfish better than Obama can.

If he had a son, he could fry better catfish.

I'm actually being serious. I make an amazing fried catfish.

I think you mean if he had a son he'd have looked just like that catfish.

Hmmm, I'm just not seeing it....

That catfish is not holding a bag of skittles.

I knew there was some kind of dumbass racist comment buried in there. Thanks for confirming it.

Ugh.

I wouldn't consider that racist necessarily, Obama made a snap judgement on a criminal and looked like a fool for it, he gets to reap that one for awhile

Exactly. I'm saying Obama was a fething idiot for coming out with gak like that, how is that racist? Just because he's mixed race?

God I hate this day and age, can't say gak without some fething SJW coming out of the woodwork and taking offense at everything.
