The last time I looked, Rick Warren wasn't Jesus. Not even close.
All birds of a feather ... pieces go together ... Rick Warren, Hugh Hewitt, Mitt Romney ... Hugh Hewitt promoted and praised the heck out of both of them on his radio show for ages. They did look great from a distance -- Hugh had me going for Warren for nearly a year, and for months with regard to Romney -- but with time and closer examination, to me they revealed themselves as self-important "saviors" who confuse appearance of substance with actual substance. Goody two-shoeses presenting the appearance of being the most Godly person, the most Grown-Up Person, in the room. They are no wiser nor grown-up than anyone else, but because they believe themselves otherwise and have convinced tens of thousands of gullible sheep of the same, they do much harm.
“The last time I looked, Rick Warren wasn’t Jesus.”
The logic, or lack therof throughout this thread makes my hair hurt.
Because Warren isn’t Jesus he shouldn’t follow his example (possibly metaphorical) of “eating w/publicans and sinners. However, the other things Jesus did, let’s say clearing the temple, is an actual, nay, a required call to arms for self-described holders of the Holy Grail of Truth to rise up against the government, society or whatever else tickles their fancy.
Seeing as how so many already have their knickers in a bind, to quote “The Bishop”: “We was too late...”
Hewitt was in maximum Warren Shill Mode on his show yesterday. As Tammy Bruce (filling in for Laura I. this morning) says, and I concur, it is no wonder the GOP is in such a state of disarry. Just look at all the okey-dokey, namby-pamby, pusillanimous, weak, spineless, lukewarm, “let us all now support Obama,” worthless jellyfish and clueless saps we now have running/advising the party. Yes, I mean Hewitt and his ilk.
