Our President invokes the Golden Rule

[deminks]

just now in his speech in Egypt. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Common to many religions.



Not the dumbass Cowboy Bush Jr. way: Do unto others before they do unto you.

Quelle difference!

1. i thought it was: "he who's got the gold makes the rules."

or breaks them, as the case may be.

[BlooInBloo]

2. Your idiot media: "Clearly the President knew that this was an audience that religion mattered a lot

to them."

Just now on msnbc.

/facepalm

[ejpoeta]

3. yes, idiot media sounds about right.

[stray cat]

4. I think even the nonreligious are not generally against some interpretation of a golden rule

accept for sociopaths.

9. We're fine with the golden rule - we can figure that out on our own, without gawd.

EDIT: It's rather similar to a child growing out of a need for his or her invisible friend.

5. doesnt work. i like straight blunt, honest, in your face talk. many people are repulsed, insulted

embarrassed, offended by that kinda talk. i dont know how to talk any other way. i personally see it as the easiest and least work in communicating and understanding another. oh please, people, do unto me as i would do. BUT, if i do onto many others as i would have done onto me, .... they would hate it.

really, in the christian way the saying should be, do unto others the way they want done unto them. but that is a guess, cause really we dont know.

6. He is a messenger of peace.

7. the golden rule

doesnt apply to gays having the right to marry it seems....
actions at home speak louder then words.

[Fumesucker]

10. I'll be surprised if it applies to people smoking a little pot..

Or tooting a little blow either..

Something of which our president has personal experience.

But time will tell, eh?

8. How different the Obama administration is from Bush's. The Bush

administration regularly scapegoated people who didn't tow the line. Obama does the opposite. Obama is the one who is actually following the bible.
