https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jimmy-carter-gay-marriage-abortions-supreme-court-nominee-jesus-a8439561.html
The 93-year-old former US president said on HuffPost Live: I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else and I dont see that gay marriage damages anyone else.

The former leader, who served as president from 1977-1981, said he had [a] struggle in support a womans right to choose an abortion.

I have a hard time believing that Jesus would approve abortions unless it was because of rape or incest or if the mothers life was in danger, Mr Carter said.

I really dont get this line of thinking. If you truly believe that abortion is equivalent to murder, then it should not be okay under any circumstances, even rape or incest. Christians arent exactly known for their logical consistency, but come on

Support for gay marriage is at an all time high. I know tons of religious people who support it too.

But abortion? That has always been a touchy topic that divides a lot of folks.

Also Jesus: "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."

His post-Presidency has done more good than pretty much every President to come after him.

I get disagreeing with Carter over this, but this is disrespectful.

Youd think the almighty creator would be more specific about such things to avoid confusion in the future.

That doesn't contradict anything Jimmy said though.

The same God that told Old Testament Jews to either kill or drive out anyone that engages in incest, bestiality, or homosexuality?

That's what God literally did tho. He humanized himself and became Jesus and I guess living as a human made him understand how much it sucks so he became more empathic to our plight. So now we don't have to sacrifice farm animals and stuff just to appease him.

I don't think he'd approve of gay marriage, but I don't think he would be a jerk about it and go protesting, either.

Note, not approving doesn't mean he'd think it should be illegal, I don't think he would like legislating morality.

Jimmy Carter may have been a lousy President, but he's a genuinely good man that has his morals and sticks to them instead of picking up a new set each time the party tries to shift their demographic.

He was a lousy president specifically because he was a good man.
