Megapastor Rick Warren blasts Iraq war, praises Syria

I had no opinion one way or another about him before today. Now I think he's a fool and an idiot.

[Petronski]

Someone needs to tell this navel-gazing anti-American corn flake to sit down and STFU.

Catholic here. Can't tell Rick Warren from Warren Zevon, but I usually don't take the Syrian news media as a credible source of quoting anyone on anything.

[rawcatslyentist]

It's not just the mega hugh "churches". The SB pastor that hitched me last time actually told me during our pre marriage counseling, "I love money". My jaw hit the floor. Come to think of it I should have just walked out then and there. I guess scripture doesn't mean much to a lot of "ordained" people nowadays!

[Indy Pendance]

The word is here.

"...reportedly told a Syrian-controlled news agency..."

Key words.

No point in commenting until the truth is known.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Hold your fire.


No fan of Warren here - but this news is coming from "Official state news report...".

Let's get the full scoop before unleashing.

"Someone needs to tell this navel-gazing anti-American corn flake to sit down and STFU."

It's always amazing when someone is elevated to a high status by a current event, which involves their ideas, and then turns around and says something that tosses it all in the shitter.

[Zack Nguyen]

The point is not whether what SANA said was accurate (probably it wasn't) but that any authoritarian regime will gladly spin things to their own purpose. Warren allowed himself to be used, probably with the best of intentions (his poverty and AIDS work, peaceful relations, etc.)

Well if he did say it it is incredibly bad timing. General Vallely says intel has the goods on Damascus and the assasinations in Lebanon. They know who did it, who he reports to and where he operates. Not good news for James Baker and his commission either.

We are supposed to negotiate with murderers, terrorists and the loon in Iran? I don't think so.

[mutley]

"The word is here."

Yes, indeed. Thanks for the spanking.

[JHBowden]

Social issues are much more important than national security. So cut Mr. Warren some slack. We need to appeal to him and his enlightened followers. We can start by praising the terrorists in Syria, not spreading hate in their direction like that arrogant Bush guy does.

Really, who cares if the apocalyptic Iranians get the bomb! I care about life! If we don't stop federal stemcell funding, we deserve to be nuked.




Hey, I'm just trying to fit in.

[lightman]

Gee, he seems to have turned awful blue since November 7.....

[madison10]

So much for having a good "purpose."

[rottndog]

I'm with you. We should wait to hear from Mr. Warren himself before casting aspersions. A good friend of mine goes to his church. I'll have to ask him what's going on.

[Sci Fi Guy]

Nice to know that you don't need to hear both sides before making up your mind (and start making insults.)

[zarf]

Religion=$ in too many instances.

Mega churches are pure money and corruption. Probably lots of gay sex in the basement too.

[Indy Pendance]

Thank your sir, may I have another?

[Al Simmons]

Preachers dabbling in politics come out sounding about as smart as Hollywood 'celebrities do.

Rick Warren, meet Janine Garofalo.
