Outreach to Rick Warren? You Decide

This is a very scary video from Rick Warren. It shows how shallow he really is. I believe Barack Obama made a bad choice when he asked Warren to deliver the prayer at the inauguration.

Watch this short clip about proposition 8:

What did you think? I'm sorry to say it, but he is arrogant and somewhat dangerous. Why shouldn't gays be able to get married? What makes him more moral than gays? Marriage is between a man and a woman? Isn't that closed minded to say that just because it is tradition means it should be forever?

"We should let 2-percent of the population change something that has been around for thousands of years?" Yes, Rick. It's time for some true compassion. Have you ever had gay friends? Do you know of their struggles and how they go against the grain of society even though their biology tells them differently?

I'm alittle confused over Obama's inclusive rhetoric and his apparent lack of judgement in choosing who he associates with.

On the link above, you can send a letter to Obama's transition team saying how you disagree with his choice:


Dear President-Elect Obama and members of the Obama-Biden transition team:

I am deeply disappointed in your team's decision to choose Pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the inauguration in January. Pastor Warren is an outspoken opponent of gay and lesbian equality. Through his public support for California's Proposition 8, he sent a clear message that he believes loving, committed, gay and lesbian couples are second-class citizens in America.President-Elect Obama states that he "disagrees" with Pastor Warren on gay rights issues but that Pastor Warren's selection is a matter of "outreach." I couldn't disagree more. Equality for gay and lesbian Americans is not a simple matter of disagreement; it is a fundamental human and civil rights issue and not something to be glossed over and ignored. I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision and choose a faith leader who supports equality for all Americans to deliver the invocation at this historic inauguration.

Sincerely, Questions About Faith
