What's the big fucking deal?

[kentuck]

Everybody knows that Brother Rick Warren is just like the rest of his Brothers. We all remember Brother Jimmy Swaggart, don't we? And we all remember Brother Jim Baker, don't we? And we all remember Brother Ted Haggard, don't we? Every time, every damn time, they stand out in front of the pulpit and proclaim themselves to be most righteous, they fall by the wayside. God loves the humble man.

Does anyone think this will never happen again? Do we really need Brother Preachers to tell us how good we should be and how bad we should not be? Do not disturb our peace and karma with nonsense. Just be patient. It happens every time. It will happen again.

1. Praise the Lord!

And pass the plate.

2. Yes, it happens every time. But could it please happen by Jan. 20 '09

in this particular instance.

I'm mildly hopeful it might, mind you - the chubby little charlatan is already running his mouth like a buffoon.

5. OMG He got kicked out of a "de-gaying" program?

[hendo]

10. Damn

sucks to be her.

13. I wonder...

Were he not outed as a gay prostitute client / meth sex addict... would we now be complaining that Ted Haggard is delivering the invocation?

What's the difference between the old Ted and the current Rick Warren?

I believe that Ted's old megachurch reached more evangelicals than Rick's does.

4. Rick Warren seems different than Swaggart, et al

less fringe, less fraudulent.

[leftstreet]

6. Disagree. He seems very narcissistic. He'll fuck up big time

They always do.

7. But not before 1/20/09, dammit

Can you imagine the research that's being done on Warren right now? I'm sure - I hope - Larry Flynt is already on it.

Oh, I know, it's a dream, but it's all I have to cling to right now.............................

8. Right. More righteous.

9. Oh no.

He doesn't rant quite so much but he thinks the same way and apparently in all his Bible reading skipped Proverbs 16:18
"Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

May he get caught soliciting in a National Airport men's room on January 19.

11. I was talking to one of my brothers

earlier today, and I told him that Rick Warren just looks like a lying son of a bitch to me. He looks like someone who would get arrested at the school yard for making inappropriate advances at the children.

12. That is so fucking funny!
