Rick Warren trips over commandment against murder

Under Pressure, Rick Warren Condemns Uganda Anti-Gay Bill.”

Why so much trouble?  Isn’t there, like, a commandment against murder?

Still, I suppose it’s progress.  Now if we could just get the Congressional Christian Caucusthe ominously-named “Family” — to come out against murder, we’ll be making real progress.

    Not only no doubt, apparently no shame, no blushing — and no Christian thought or compassion.

    No, there is no doubt about their involvement. Evangelical Christian leaders from the United States were over in Uganda just as they, meaning the Uganda government, made that announcement.

    And I was being dead on serious in what I said originally…that some of them want to do the same here. They are to Christianity what the Taliban is to Islam, of that there is no doubt.

    I’m losing meaning in this thread. Is there some doubt abut The Family’s activities in Uganda, as documented in Mr. Sharlet’s book? (Granting that Rev. Hipple’s quote is made-up). Having heard Mr. Sharlet interviewed on Fresh Air and other talk shows, I found myself more concerned about the intentions and influence of The Family than I am of Al Qeda.

  4. Nick Kelsier says:

    The sad thing is that there are people in this country who think exactly like what Rev Hipple said, except they mean it seriously.

  5. Ed Darrell says:

    I worry sometimes about parody that is so subtle that the average redneck won’t realize it’s parody, Rev. Hipple.

  6. Y’all must not get out much

    “The Family” has participated directly and proudly in crafting the proposed Ugandan law. We are using Uganda as an incubator to test ideas on how to properly conduct gay homo cleansing programs and rid Our Dominion thereof. Barry Soeterror Hussein Obama is powerless to stop Us.

    Nah, that won’t happen.

    Because quite a few Christian evangelical neoconservatives would dearly love to do here what Uganda is proposing.

Play nice in the Bathtub -- don't splash soap in anyone's eyes.
