Rick Warren caught lying
I have been accused of equating gay partnerships with incest and pedophila. Now, of course as members of Saddleback Church, you know I believe no such thing, I never have. You've never once heard me in thirty years talk that way about that.But Rachel Maddow shows that he made exactly that comparison:
I'm opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I'm opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. I'm opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.Rick Warren has been caught lying, in addition to being anti-gay and anti-evolution. He should ask to be taken off the agenda for the inauguration, and if he doesn't, Barack Obama should just withdraw his invitation to speak.
Q. Do you think those are equivalent to gays getting married?
Oh, I do!

I'm still waiting for an explanation of why "Dick" Warren is so opposed to the Biblical model of marriage. If it was good enough for the OT patriarchs, it should be good enough for him!

Was that a rhetorical question?
I think the answer has a lot to do with fear of change and culture shock, and it has little to do with the Bible. Marriage, one man to one woman, is the culture he knows and change scares him.
My own take on Rick Warren.

If course. It's an ironic comment on the historical ignorance implied by Warren's claims about marriage -- when even the one "history" book I'm absolutely sure he's read (and trusts) contradicts him!
Um..."Of course..."
I blame a combination of the digital tendonitis and the Riesling....
