Rick Warren on Prop 8.
Rick 8 it on Prop 8.
Extraordinary. Extraordinarily full of shit.
The good news is this: Gay Marriage has reached the tipping point. No stopping it now.
God, gays and guns = Republican Political Power. One out of three is now pretty much history. Let's get working on the other two now.

Godbotting, gay-bashing, and gun-fetishism, you mean.

I guess what this means is that even the Rick Warrens of the world are afraid to end up on the wrong side of history. They'll sure be surprised when fire and brimstone rain down on us all for this descent into debauchery. The only ones saved will be the those offering up their daughters to be gang-raped by the mobs, if scripture's to be believed.
If.

Got my gays ready. Check. Got my guns ready. Check.
Problem... Can't find my God.

Rick Warren promotes a purpose driven life and apparently the purpose of his life is to attach his lips to the ass of whoever holds power. No one can deny, though, that he has a gift for sensing the prevailing winds and positioning himself accordingly. It speaks volumes that he has moved away from the fundies reliance on hate-politics as a reliable wedge issue.

If I promise to volunteer for the Pink Pistols, can I keep my guns?

While I'm pretty howling progressive in some ways, I'm conservative enough to like having gun ownership an option. There's major drawbacks to the Right to Bear Arms, but the drawbacks of not having it seem worse from where I sit. By having the option for any faction to Continue Politics By Other Means, it reduces the chances that one minority faction will impose such Continuation against the general populace. This reduces the overall probable risk (long-term) associated with (say) a Theocon takeover.

I like how he says the "traditional definition of marriage" is between one man and one woman. That's not true, even within Christianity.
Monogamy wasn't accepted as a general rule within the Catholic religion (before all the other sects) until the Romans adopted it. Before then, you could have as many wives as you could afford.
