Warren is a phony guy.
ALl he wants is MONEY and POWER.
He should be asahmaed of himself - rewriting the Bible to suit himself and making oodles of bucks off DUMB people that don’t know better. It’s fitting that he is close to Obama.
I agree.....he’s a fraud.....so is Joel Olsteen.
“You mean he was never close to Bush or McCain ? “
Did you see Rick Warren going to, I think it was Africa with Obama to conquer birth control and promote abortion? I didn’t see Bush or McPain doing trips like that.
Or how about being one of Obama’s IDIOTS when he was sworn in? I didn’t notice McPain or Bush using Warren for those roles.
Warren is a fake.
I have no idea if Warren is a fraud or not......personally, I have never been comfortable with him, for some reason I get a bad feeling.
Do not use potty language - or references to potty language (including in your tagline or capitalization of POTUS) - on the Religion Forum.
“Did you see Rick Warren going to, I think it was Africa with Obama to conquer birth control and promote abortion? I didn’t see Bush or McPain doing trips like that.”
From a TV interview, and I believe this to all be true, or there being no evidence to the contrary;
MR. GREGORY: ...are you having on fighting some of the most difficult problems around the world, including your work on the continent of Africa?
MR. WARREN: Mm-hmm. Well, David, in, in 2002 when I wrote “Purpose Driven Life,” and then it became a, a big best-seller and sold a lot of copies, it, it honestly brought in tens of millions of dollars. When you write the best-selling hardback in American history and the most translated book in the world except for the Bible, it’s tens of millions of dollars. And frankly, when this money started coming in, I—it scared me. I thought, I’m a pastor, I live a pretty simple lifestyle and I don’t need money, and so what am I supposed to do with this? And when you write a book and the first sentence says, “It’s not about you,” then you figure the money’s not for you, too.
So we made five decisions.
The first one was we’re not going to change our lifestyle one bit. I still live in the same house I’ve lived in 16 years. I drive a 10-year-old Ford truck, bought my watch at Walmart. You know, to me if you’ve got a good pair of jeans and a comfortable T-shirt, you don’t have a whole lot of needs. So we didn’t change it.
Second thing is I stopped taking a salary from Saddleback Church now seven years ago.
The third thing is I added up all the church had paid me in the first 25 years and I gave it all back. And I did that because I didn’t want anybody thinking that I do what I do for money. I do this because I love Jesus Christ and I love God, and it’s, it’s out of my motivation—and I love people that do this.
We set up some charities.
We have one called Acts of Mercy which my wife leads that helps people infected and affected with AIDS, and another one called Equipping Leaders, and we pay for leadership training all around the world. We set up a program called the PEACE Plan, P-E-A-C-E, which stands for Promote reconciliation, equip servant leaders—ethical leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, educate the next generation.
By the end of December next year, we will have—we will have, the PEACE Plan, have been to every single country in the world. There’s 195 countries, 193 in the U.N.—North Korea and Bosnia aren’t in the U.N. We will have been in every country doing these humanitarian works.
I cannot stand him. He is a fraud and a businessman & marketer.
Close friend of Obama and apologist for Islam.
Warren doesn’t care if Obama agrees with him or not.
All Warren cares about is MONEY and FAME. To hang around people like Obama, gives him fame and the opportunity to make more money. Warren is NOT for real.
Allow me to refresh your memory.
Rick Warren Lauds Obama Choice Of Openly-Gay Pastor For Inaugural Prayer
Stuart Whatley | January 15, 2009 03:26 PM
Pastor Rick Warren, demonstrating his recently discovered and ever-increasing political savvy, has issued a statement lauding President-elect Obama’s choice of openly-gay Pastor Eugene Robinson for the Sunday night Inaugural kickoff prayer. From the statement, issued to Christianity Today:
According to press reports, it is because of a mutual respect that each feels towards the other over the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the African continent. That rationale, however, is not only dishonest, but is not even logical given the two distinct positions that the men come to on the matter. Because of this supposed shared concern, Warren is ready to turn over the spiritual mantle to a man who represents the views of Satan at worst or progressive anti-God liberals at best in most of his public positions on the greatest moral tests of our time.
Warren’s stand on the matter in this instance is what is in doubt – not Obama’s!
Barack Obama has a long history of defying the intended morality of Scripture. As a state legislator, he actively worked to preserve availability of abortion in all nine months of pregnancy. He opposed parental notification. He opposed any and all bans on partial-birth abortion (an act that includes delivery of the baby up to the head, the crushing of the baby’s brain, the suctioning of the brain matter, and then completed delivery of the child’s deflated cranium). In his run for the U.S. Senate, Obama even asked his wife to pen a letter to Illinois voters that reassured them of his commitment to fighting for the right to butcher children in the womb.
Barack Obama has long supported the advance of the radical homosexual activist lobby in its pursuit to destroy traditional marriage. He supported the creation of “special rights” for people who engage in homosexuality for the sole purpose of putting them at the front of the line on issues of employment, housing and litigation. He has also solidly backed the advancement of all “hate crimes” legislation, which ultimately may be used to silence clergy who believe according to their own convictions that homosexual behavior is wrong and preach so from biblical texts. Obama has a perfect voting record against the defense of marriage.
Barack Obama advocates continued funding for Planned Parenthood clinics in our nation’s inner cities, which are performing genocide against the populations of African Americans living there.
And most damnable of all, when a brave nurse named Jill Stanek brought about national awareness to a practice at a local hospital in suburban Chicago that allowed the starvation and neglect of newly born children who had survived abortion procedures – Obama opposed her. He opposed the right of those children to be given the chance to live and he advocated against a ban on such procedures – then known as “born alive abortions.”

What a stand up guy fr CHRIST? Huh?
Why is Obama’s evil in Rick Warren’s pulpit?

Rick Warren, the best selling author of “The Purpose Driven Life” and senior teaching pastor at Saddleback Church in California, has invited Sen. Barack Obama to speak to the congregation of the faithful on Dec. 1, 2006. In doing so, he has joined himself with one of the smoothest politicians of our times, and also one whose wickedness in worldview contradicts nearly every tenet of the Christian faith that Warren professes.
So the question is “why?”
Why would Warren marry the moral equivalency of his pulpit – a sacred place of honor in evangelical tradition – to the inhumane, sick and sinister evil that Obama has worked for as a legislator?
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52998
NO CHRISTIAN should have anything to do with Obama or Warren. They are hopelessy EVIL. Even Billy Graham REFUSED to be a Chpalin for this President. SUre pray for these EVIL men but don’t endorse them or whitwash EVIL and SIN like these tow do.
Folks are upset when they find their religious guru to be just “another struggling human being” and not a god...
Warren is a spiritually discerned useful idiot for Obama.
“Folks are upset when they find their religious guru to be just “another struggling human being” and not a god...”
Not at all. I expect that. Stop trying to rationalize away how misguided Warren is and how much of a greedy hypocrite he is.

Even Billy Graham, wants NOTHING to do with Obama, the Obomination.
GET REAL!
Stop trying to rationalize away people’s legitimate reasons or seeing Warren as evil. BTW, Salvation is NOT works driven as Warren owould have you believe. Rewriting the Bible is also a huge no-no. Running around doing things, as in the Purpose Driven Life, will NOT get you eternal life. It is ALL ABOUT repenting and turning you life over to Him.
Warren. A pinko preachin’ man.
