		<description>Here is the difference:

Warren has the inclination to have sex with every beautiful woman he sees (God forbid!), on account of his biological predispositions. What straight male doesn&#039;t (and a certain percentage certainly does!). But, Rick still has the right and the acceptability to marry ONE and call her a life long partner.

If a gay person, who has a biological predisposition toward the same sex (and yes, naturally attracted to many a beautiful same sex form), wishes to be with ONE loved partner in a mutual relationship, why is that wrong? How is that fundamentally different? How is that harmful to themselves or others? Should they remain celibate?

Silly Rick Warren:

&lt;strong&gt;Homosexuality is a part of the normal, healthy spectrum of sexual orientations. Regardless of what your religious texts tell you. Please don&#039;t compare it to disruptive human behaviour such as violence and sex addiction. Homosexuality isn&#039;t a behaviour.&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Um....I wonder how many of those BEAUTIFUL WOMEN he wants to have sex with would reciprocate? He&#039;s no Bill Clinton. Warren, like so many big fat biggoted GOPers, no doubt has no pay for sex.</description>

		<description>Rick Warren say that the Gay community is only 2% of the overall US population. In reality, Gay people account for 10% of the population....

This ultimately works out to mean the following:

July 2007 estimated US population = greater than 300 million people

Rick Warren&#039;s 2% figure against this total would = 6 million total Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender people in the USA.

In reality the figure is greater than that, equal to 10% of the US population which equals 30 million total Gay/Lesbian/Bi/Transgender people in the USA.

Rick Warren is willing to discount and forget about the difference, equalling 24 million people. 

24 million people would have to disappear to allow Warren&#039;s math to be correct. 

What does Obama have to say about it? 

&quot;....It&#039;s time to work together....&quot;

I know of another time and another country that wanted to erase certain groups from their overall population....

That country was Germany and the story we know too well....

The first group of people on their list to eradicate wasn&#039;t the Jews....

Anyone want to guess which group the Nazi&#039;s &quot;forgot about&quot; first?</description>

		<description>bitblt Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  
The scripture to which you allude is I Corithians 6 starting at verse 9

Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adul terers, male prostitutes, sodo mites, 10 thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers–none of these will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 

This list of sins seems to encompass most sexual si ns, at least the ones
about bit has heard, without regard to orientation. 

If this scripture is only “used again homosexuality,” would it not need to have a much more limited scope? 

Where bit has seen this quote used relative to the topic of homosexuality, it has been used to show that people who became Christians gave up their sexual, and other, sins.

Is that using it against homosexuality? BTW, these words are attributed to the Apostle Paul.

Seems to bit that those who commit these sins after becoming Christians would bring much dishonor on the name of Christ.

Do you agree?</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve changed  my pro-Obama stance on this. (I thought something advantageous might come from it. But if he cut Wright loose he can certainly cut Warren loose.

 The corporate  media --for its own nefarious purposes--tries promoting him as some sort of right-of-center evangelist with a difference. But let&#039;s face it --absent a mea culpa and a voluntary withdrawal from the benediction on Warren&#039;s part--it&#039;s pretty clear he&#039;s just another bigotry and fairy-tales salesman.  

The President Elect should be emailed and petitioned up the yingyang. (Then rightwing radio can have a field-day squeaking about how powerful the far Left is in this country. If that were only the case...

Warren is essentially  a friggin&#039; fathead and Obama--I&#039;m sorry to say--is an idiot for inviting him.  It is a mistake. Obama needs to switch gears and admit that.

How can you have a united country with a-holes with the likes of Rick Warren in it?  Why be tolerant to the intolerant unless you&#039;re a copraphagic masochist.

		<description>[Warren] &lt;i&gt;compared accepting one’s homosexuality to being “naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see.”

...

You say because I have natural impulses to the same sex, I shouldn’t have to reign them in.&lt;/i&gt;

Sounds like he&#039;s saying he&#039;s bisexual and heavily in denial.</description>

		<description>Remember when Ann Coulter tried saying Bill Clinton was gay because he was promiscuous.

Watch the verbal gymnastics these folks go through to maintain their hate.  They go so far to convince us it is not hate, but what else could it be?  Oh right, hate the sin not the person.  but being homosexual like being hetreosexual is part of our humanity...no they keep distorting the facts about life to appease their selfish god, their shallow god, their petty god.  and lets not forget warren sits atop a fortune made from keeping his fellow man in ignorance about truth.  

I so want to believe that obama has an idea what he is doing.  that there is a reason for selecting warren we cannot yet see.  that somehow warren will be as interested in unity as obama claims.  The United States was not created so the christians could create their private little utopia.  oh obama, why?  do you really think these right wingers are going to actually play fair with you just because you are trying to be fair?  they are intolerant and will continue to be until they have their world, which is intolerant of anyone not following rick warren, i mean jesus.</description>

		<description>Thanks PLC. And thanks for your humor, wisdom and patience as we wade through all of the politico/religio stuff...

Greetings dbadass, winter birding is a lot of fun... I was in the right spot at the Bosque del Apache to be in the middle of 20,000 plus snow geese as they suddenly got quiet, then all burst into the air at once. It felt for an instant all I had to do was leap into the air and I could have gone with them. :)</description>

Amen.  (pun intended)

Further, if one of Obama&#039;s first acts is to order the military to openly accept and accomodate gays, and Warren raises no objection which will be hard for him to raise, then this will fade away as an issue.</description>

		<description>TokenLiberal: &quot;Rick Warren’s invitation to speak at the inauguration is the first, clearly identifiable “Screw You” to his supporters on the ‘left.’&quot;

It&#039;s hard for me to believe that most liberals in our country will be as immature as this in their assessment of what this means. &quot;Screw you to the left??!!&quot; Please. Get back to me when the Obama administration refuses to close Gitmo or nominates a conservative to the Supreme Court. Then, I&#039;ll listen. Complaining that he&#039;s picked a righty religious nut to go along with his lefty religious nut at the ceremony which is supposed to be for all Americans??

I don&#039;t think this rises to the level of the hysteria I&#039;m seeing.</description>
