A number of people are upset with the selection of Rick Warren to give the invocation at Obama's inauguration. I'm in agreement that I think it is in bad taste, but gave up a long time ago hoping that America would keep it's politics and religion at a safe distance. Warren, like most evangelicals is anti-choice, anti-gay rights and anti-stem cell. This makes me very anti-Warren regardless of how many copies of The Purpose Driven Life he has pushed. I've said it before, but people who are anti-stem cell research due to moral reasons have shit for morals.
Warren gets a lot of bonus points in many circles because he thinks his flock should take an interest in global issues like poverty, AIDS and genocide. I think that are noble issues, but when did that become applaud worthy? Aren't all decent people concerned about genocide? Is caring about the poor and fighting AIDS really going above and beyond what christians should do?
