Pastor Rick Warren: Gay marriage akin to incest, child rape and polygamy:

[Bluebear]

Rick Warren: But the issue to me is, I知 not opposed to that as much as I知 opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. I知 opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I知 opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. I知 opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.

Steven Waldman: Do you think, though, that they are equivalent to having gays getting married?

Rick Warren: Oh I do.

1. Um....wow.

I predict he'll be pulled.

[Critters2]

2. From your keyboard to God's ears (but don't hold your breath). nt

[yardwork]

6. He won't be pulled and anyone who complains will continue to be called an extremist.

We went through this with Donnie McClurkin and now it's happening again.

[Seen the light]

10. I don't know, Obama was going to tap the Cheney guy as head of the CIA until people complained

And the outrage over this has been WAY more than what I saw with the Cheney CIA guy.

[QC]

14. Yes, it's McClurkin II: Electric Boogaloo.

[crim son]

3. Moron.

Such stupidity ought to be illegal.

[yardwork]

8. Instead, he's giving the invocation at the inauguration of our new president.

Our of the thousands of ministers who could have been invited, we get Rick Warren.

By the way, check out his views on abortion. Even the life of the mother isn't justification, according to Rev. Warren.

[crim son]

15. Yep.

Same Old Shit. This is extremely disappointing and I intend to write a letter or two.

[Maven]

4. Oh but he'll be talking about something else on inauguration day, so it's OK.

:puke:

[Bluebear]

5. It's just one song.

Oh wait..

[IndianaJones]

7. its not like the guy is a real bigot...like a racist or anything. nt.

[yardwork]

9. He probably is. He jerked Obama around pretty good during the campaign.

[yardwork]

11. k& r for a fact.

[QC]

12. Oh come now! He's a moderate. You need to get over it! n/t

[Danger Mouse]

13. This is disgusting.

I think pressure should be put on Obama to have this guy pulled.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

16. Everyone should send that snippet...

to Obama's website -- I am doing that right now.

[yardwork]

17. I hope that you don't mind, I'm going to start posting this here and there on DU.

[Bluebear]

19. Please, feel free.

But do lighten up and get over it.

[yardwork]

20. I'm getting it over on a lot of threads.

[HockeyMom]

18. My uncle had 5 wives and 8 kids

Just not all at the same time. I suppose since his wives were all over the age of 21 that would be considered "traditional" marriage? I cannot tell you the havoc all these marriages and divorces wrecked on those 8 kids from different mothers.

Yet, a gay couple staying together for the rest of their lives and providing a stable home life for children is an abomination?

No, my uncle's "traditional" marriages were an abomination.

[JuniperLea]

21. This is a huge mistake

We all need to post our opposition on change.gov. This is so freaking wrong. I want all religion out of my government NOW!

[mkultra]

22. but the bible is full of polygamy and child marriages

perhaps he should direct his offense at the bible.

24. DOWN THE FUCKING RABBIT HOLE, ALICE

And, btw, a brother and sister ngetting married IS incest.:eyes:

Par for the course.

[yardwork]

28. Except that it's legal for you to get an abortion.

[Upton]

25. This guy's a disgrace..

What in the hell is wrong with Obama?

[ismnotwasm]

26. Asswipe

Personally, among other things, I think human beings won't obtain true sexual health until being Gay is recognized as not only "normal" and "natural" but a necessary part of healthy human sexuality. The choice of marriage will help the road toward that recognition.

It goes way beyond perverted, misogynist Old Testament ideas of "marriage"

Do these idiots really think they're the only ones who read the bible? Or are they the ones that don't actually read it, merely parrot certain passages that are taken out of context often as not?

[TexasObserver]

27. that's why this jerk should not even be invited to the event

When people of "faith" sincerely believe homosexuality is wrong, but do not actively speak against it, I find that a lot more tolerable than these guys like Warren who equate it with criminal perversions. The former are simply misguided, well intentioned fools, but the latter are bad humans.

Rick Warren is a scum bag.

[IsItJustMe]

29. I wonder if this means that we will now have organized prayer in public school now?
