You've got to hand it to bloviating Brit Piers Morgan. While he got most of the facts wrong in his recent targeting of the Second Amendment, it hasn't stopped him from moving on to even more formidable targets.
Such as the Bible.
He says the book is "inherently flawed" -- and needs to be amended.
Piers handed down his decree while interviewing Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren on the December 24th "Piers Morgan Tonight." Yes, on Christmas Eve. When other hosts might be discussing love, brotherhood, salvation, and all things ethereal, Captain Morgan was giving us the world according to Piers. And how would he improve the Good Book? Said he, "Both the Bible and the Constitution were well intentioned, but they are basically, inherently flawed. Hence the need to amend it. My point to you about gay rights, for example; it's time for an amendment to the Bible."
Well, Piers, we're so blessed to have you to correct both America's founding document and the most influential book in history. We had to suffer more than 200 years with one and more than 2000 with the other, but the right god-man has finally come along. Oh, and when you're done with that, old boy, can you contact the Genome Project and rewrite the human genetic code for us? We're flawed, too. To Warren's credit, he politely but firmly disagreed, responding to the amendment call by saying:
What I believe is flawed is human opinion because it constantly changes. [...]What was hot is now not. [...]My definition of Truth is: if it's new, it's not true. If it was true a thousand years ago, it'll be true a thousand years from today; opinion changes, but Truth doesn't. To this Morgan quite predictably responded, "We're going to agree to disagree on that."

The Constitution most certainly does need amending. It’s not holy writ by any stretch.
Never seen his show but my Gaydar just went off after seeing his picture, he looks like a poofter.
You have obviously bought into the “documentary thesis” of the authorship of the Bible.
Mark Sucker is moving him to late night, at least 10pm, where he will be forgotten, or at least have zero chance to reach the preferred target niches.
No, I bought into the theory that Free Republic was a conservative news and political site.
I guess that I find these long threads on whether or not is is proper to break the big or the small end of the egg, which wars have been fought over, highly irritating and there are times when I find it irrestible to comment.
Sorry for intruding on your universe.
Excellent article from Selwyn Duke. Completely correct about the moral relativism of Piers Morgan and his fellow libs.
