I think we in the GLBT forum should help Rick Warren.....

[SacredCow]

by writing his invocation for him. He's extended an olive branch, right? So let's give him a hand, shall we? I'll get the ball rolling, and let's just keep it going by copying and pasting as posters add and edit. By the time we get a few posters, we should have a perfectly usable invocation for him- thus saving him time that could be more productively used to make meaningless gestures. So without further ado....

<start invocation>
Almighty Gawwwwwwd..... We gather here today to bask in my awesomeness. Well, yours, too, but mostly mine. I mean, just think about it! I stand for almost exactly the OPPOSITE of what got President-Elect Obama here today, and yet, here I am! How wicked-cool is THAT???? <end my contributions>


OK, somebody else continue. I have to go eat lunch.

1. Extended an olive branch? I think he thought that olive branch was a SWITCH!!

To whip those naughty gays into shape and make them FEEEEEEEEEAR the LAAAAAAWD!!

[SacredCow]

2. Well, that's what it was called....

I meant to put an :eyes: behind that sentence, but I forgot....

[MADem]

4. I understood your take on the matter!

I sensed the :eyes: even though you forgot the icon!

The image of The Right Reverend Fatty Warren running around with an olive branch trying to whip a bunch of unrepentant gays just popped into my head when I read the the phrase "olive branch" and refused to leave!!

[SacredCow]

5. I suspect that image appeals to Mr. Warren....

in a very real and literal way...

"BAD gays! BAD gays!!!!"

3. 'Hep me Gaaaaawwwd --

for i have fallen into a pile of ma own shit' amen

[Zuiderelle]

6. Please forgive mah sin of hating 10% of your children, and causing your Son our Lord Jesus Christ to

roll in his grave, and I do ask your solemn and holy forgiveness of mah sin of causing more death and disease among your African children due to mah lying and greed. Please accept these mah humble gifts of treachery and avarice, and if it so please you Lawd, please smite me down before I say Amen.

8. You should also add...

"and don't forget to buy my book!"

[SacredCow]

9. Oh, yeah....

Ads in prayer are ok, right?

[AntiFascist]

10. The media doesn't have a problem....

promoting his book in the all the attention he's getting. They might as well have him promoting it in his prayer.

12. I beg, in my name, your mercy on my book sales. May they soar

and fatten my investment portfolio. For, I am but a poor millionaire.
