ABC Nightline covering Rick Warren

[Bozita]

Will he talk about Conegate?

Warren: "I could not vote for an atheist."

[GreenPartyVoter]

Well, I couldn't vote for a conservative evangelical. So there, Rick!

2. Especially one who cleaves to a dogma that says his way is the only path to truth.

Which is why I find it mystifying that he'd vote for someone of another faith, but not an atheist. Since his faith dictates that all other religions are idolatry at the very least, and heresy at the worst, wouldn't he be safer picking a non-believer? After all, at least we atheists aren't blatantly offending the One True God in favor of some craven image. :shrug:

11. Who can fathom the minds of people like this? I have lived around them

and gone to church with them all my life. I do understand _why_ they think what they do, but not how they can think it. (Did that make sense?)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

13. Makes perfect sense.

It's about control and order. They've got easy black-and-white marching orders (albeit ones that change at the arbitrary whims of their masters) and anyone who challenges them is a threat.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Yes. I think they are very fearful and thus reach out for massive rules and regulation to

hold their lives together.

1. Prolly not...ricky is covering his ass and also Mackys.

It was a set up from the word go...but Obama held his own....he showed courage and a desire to share his views with those obviously against him....he came out of the lions den alive and well.

[Bozita]

3. "Could you vote for either of the two candidates?" -- Cynthia McFadden, ABC News

Warren refused to answer.

[saltpoint]

4. With any luck at all, they'll cover him

with molten lava and lots of it.

[AlCzervik]

5. he's really working it, he was on Larry King Live tonight as well.

Who'is it really all about----Warren, that's who.

[Bozita]

6. But he didn't answer that final question.

[AlCzervik]

7. what was that, who he will vote for?

[Bozita]

10. "Could you vote for either of the two candidates?"

Warren refused to answer.

[AlCzervik]

12. right, of course he would not say but we all know who he will vote for.

you know what pisses me off about this whole Warren thing, it's the fact that he is no different then the other Extremist's like Falwell or Robertson, he's just dressed like he's a kinder version but deep down he's just as bad as them and maybe even worse because he looks like he might be a nice guy. The other thing is that these assholes needs to be marginalized, they already get air time on Sundays and on their various religious stations so face time isn't an issue for them, they get it and i'm sick and tired of the media giving them yet another pulpit to preach on regarding who gets elected.

I am an atheist and that's my business, i don't try and convert people to my non religious beliefs, i'm not asking for a pulpit or for air time so when i have their views and "leaders" foisted on me all the time it really offends me and i ain't one to offend easily.

[Bozita]

15. I understood it as one of the two major party candidates is not suited for the job.

I took it as an insult to my candidate.

[burythehatchet]

8. ABC is a complete propoganda outlet. I saw the segment after having given up ABC for months

and it could have been a segment for the 700 club.

[Breeze54]

9. How do these people at 'Broke Back Mountain' call themselves "Christians"?

He advocates LYING!!! gheesh...

How do these people at 'Broke Back Mountain' call themselves "Christians"?

Rick Warren is a lying asshat RW fucktard!

[Lint Head]

14. Who the hell is Rick friggin' Warren? Does he have a direct line

to God? Rick friggin' Warren doesn't pay my bills or cure my ills or anyone else's. He lines his pocketbook using the name of Jesus Christ. Need I say more. :dem:

[endthewar]

18. ABC searching for an excuse to do some pastorbating about Wright

They're probably disappointed that Warren never mentioned Wright during the Forum. :rofl:

[orleans]

16. there is something really slimy/smarmy about this guy

i can't put my finger on it, but he's creepy as all hell--i get the impression there is a major skeleton or two in his closet.

[TNOE]

20. He said on Larry King he donates 90% of his

salary - or income - not sure what word he used. I wonder if that can be verified. DU Sleuths - start your engines!

[cynatnite]

19. So if he had a choice between an atheist Dawkins and a christian Hitler...

he'd vote for the christian Hitler.

Okay, probably not fair. :evilgrin:
