Rick Warren

Pandering to Bigots is Wrong

Submitted by Betsy Muse on Sat, 12/27/2008 - 11:10pm

Rick Warren is a bigot. It doesn't matter how many best-selling books he's written. It doesn't matter how many times he has prayed. It doesn't matter how big his church is or how many followers he has. Rick Warren is a bigot.

Barack Obama has endorsed a bigot. It doesn't matter how he paints it. It doesn't matter if he calls it a team of rivals. It doesn't matter if he calls it being inclusive or engaging in "diversity of thought." Barack Obama has endorsed a bigot.

To think that a bigot like Rick Warren is representative of all Evangelical Christians is an insult to those Christians who find it possible to live their lives through Christ without engaging in hate speech and bigotry. Giving Evangelical Christians a seat at the table is one thing, but celebrating a bigot is unacceptable.

Some thoughts from the perspective of a young evangelical Christian who long ago told the Republicans to go fly a kite ...

Overall, I have to call this a draw. Obama couldn't have handled himself better, and judging by the amount of applause probably got a few people off the fence. However, McCain may well have won some people over as well.

More thoughts after the jump ...
