Bruce Wilson: Follow Jesus Like Nazis Followed Hitler, Rick Warren Tells Stadium Crowd
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
On April 17, 2005, at the southern California Anaheim Angels sports stadium thirty thousand Saddleback Church members, more than ever gathered in one spot, assembled to celebrate Saddleback's 25th anniversary and listened as Rick Warren announced his vision for the next 25 years of the church: the P.E.A.C.E. Plan.
Towards the close of his nearly one hour speech, Pastor Warren asked his followers to be as committed to Jesus as the young Nazi men and women who spelled out in mass formation with their bodies the words "Hitler, we are yours," in 1939 at the Munich Stadium, were committed to the Führer of the Third ...
Obama, This is UNACCEPTABLE: Rick Warren Invokes Hitler Youth
Firedoglake —
I know I have been on and on about Rick Warren and his loathing of homosexuals, his utter conviction that man and dinosaurs once frolicked together, that he doesnt think abused spouses should divorce because it's not in the Bible, and his support of crazed African pastors.
Oh and he lies, prevaricates and removes ...
Hullabaloo — Whatever It Takes by digby Bruce Wilson has written an incredible expose of the man the Religious Injdustrial Complex is asking us to accept as a decent and moral voice of healing, (despite a few mild differences between us on icky issues nobody wants to talk about anyway.) It turns out that his activities in Africa are a trifle less impressive than advertised once you look into them. In fact, they're downright horrifying. But then I'm always a little bit horrified at people who say things like this: During his Anaheim speech, Warren revealed that he'd received a message from God to seek more influence, power and fame. God, ...
‘Ein Volk, eine Evangelische Kirche, ein Prediger’
SteveAudio —
Huffington Post: "In 1939, in a stadium much like this, in Munich Germany, they packed it out with young men and women in brown shirts, for a fanatical man standing behind a podium named Adolf Hitler, the personification of evil. And in that stadium, those in brown shirts formed with their bodies a sign that said, in the whole stadium, "Hitler, we are yours." And they nearly took the world. ... When I hear those kinds of stories, I think 'what would happen if American Christians, if world Christians, if just the Christians in this stadium, followers of Christ, would say 'Jesus, we are ...
Fait Diver: Rick Uber Alles

by David E | (Visited 11 times) Leni The Narcissistic Personality Disorder known as “Rick Warren” continues apace : Rick Warren complimented Barack Obama’s invitation to openly gay Episcopal Bishop V. Gene Robinson to pray at the inaugural kick off event on Sunday. “President-elect Obama has again demonstrated his genuine commitment to bringing all Americans of goodwill together in search of common ground,” Warren said in a statement provided to Christianity Today. “I applaud his desire to be the president of every citizen.” Warren and Obama have continually been taking heat from members of the gay community since it was announced that the California megachurch pastor would ...
Rick Warren: Follow Jesus Like Nazis Followed Hitler
Shakesville —
So, let's see. Rick Warren is not only virulently anti-gay, anti-choice, and misogynist, and murderous, he also believes that Christians should follow Jesus like people followed Hitler, Lenin, and Mao, doing "whatever it takes" to "cover the planet" with Christianity to bring the Rapture: [Transcript is in the video and at the link.] Rick Warren has called for a second Christian Reformation, and he has stated his intent of inspiring 'one billion' Christians, half of all Christians globally, to become personally and 'radically' committed to changing the ...

I actually refused to believe this story until I listened to the tape of his speech.
Rick Warren compares himself to Hitler; yet another reason for Obama to disinvite him
BuzzFlash.org - Progressive News and Commentary with an Attitude | Fight Ignorance: Read BuzzFlash —
The ultimate insult against someone you disagree with is to compare them to Adolf Hitler. So when someone rather prominent compared Pastor Rick Warren to Adolf Hitler, you would think Warren's supporters would be aghast and outraged about the comparison. Except for one problem: the person who compared Warren to Hitler... was Rick Warren. Warren compared himself to Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Tse-tung in a gathering before a large crowd at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA, home of MLB's Anaheim Angels. Looking for further proof? An excerpt from this speech: "In 1939, in a ...
Forget the homophobia for a minute, let's focus on the batshit craziness

THIS is Obama's good friend Rick Warren, who's going to deliver the invocation at the inaugural? Yes, he did call for Christians to be just like Hitler's brownshirts. With a nutball like this around, I'm starting to miss Falwell.

The Lord's Prayer is not "nonsectarian"
Brilliant at Breakfast —
...unless you believe that "nonsectarian" means "acceptable for all Christians" and that no one who isn't Christian counts. I am old enough to remember having to say the Lord's Prayer in school. Yes, recitation of this prayer was required, right along with the pledge of allegiance and the singing of the national anthem. Every day. I never really thought much about it. In the early 1960's, when I was in early elementary school, you didn't. It was part of the natural order of things. I'm sure I wasn't all that much different from most kids in that I didn't think much about the words. I never knew what "trespasses" were, though for that matter, I never could figure out why ...
