Dumb thing to say. Makes it hard for those of us who've been defending him to get that done.

True. But, a lot of posters can't seem to see the difference between making a stupid statement and falling from grace.

From what I recall Peter was the king of stupid statements. Are any of us better than him?

Yes. The bible says that each of us who has not seen yet believed, are greater.

It's not that he makes stupid statements. It's that he makes statements that divide the church and he attck people who believe the following:

Inerrancy of the Scriptures
The virgin birth and the deity of Jesus
The doctrine of substitutionary atonement through God's grace and human faith
The bodily resurrection of Jesus
The authenticity of Christ's miracles (or, alternatively, his premillenial second coming)

As a Christian, I don't believe that I am the enemy, as Rick Warren claims that I am.

Do you mean "His Holiness, Peter?" :>)

I remember Paul running around calling Peter "His Holiness" all over the place.

Yep. Paul called Peter on a hypocritical stunt involving some Gentile Christians. Peter admitted he was wrong.

Maybe Warren can do the same.
