Rick Warren Abandons Truth

California mega-church pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren says he apologized to his homosexual friends for making comments in support of California's Proposition 8, and now claims he "never once even gave an endorsement" of the marriage amendment.

Maybe Rick's book sales are sagging and he figures this will help. Maybe Rick wants to be popular with his liberal friends in the mainstream media. Maybe Rick is afraid someone will compare him to the late Jerry Falwell. Maybe Rick is more interested in Rick than the truth.

Actually, Id like to cut my Christian brother some slack... Maybe he thought this new stance would help his ministry with gays. I didn't hear this interview with Larry King, but I haven't read that he even acknowledged homosexuality as sin... And that is an important point.

I have much more respect for Peter Heck, who wrote in OneNewsNow, the American Family Association's News Network: "Urging another human being to engage in a risky behavior that will leave them dead at nearly half the age of the general population is an odd definition of love in my book."

Odd indeed. We have to consider the possibility that Rick loves Rick a whole lot more than he loves gays.

Or he fears gays a lot more than he loves the Lord? Ouch.
