Rick Warren: Churches ‘probably’ responsible for negative views on LGBT people

In 2008, the pastor published a video encouraging his flock at Saddleback Church to vote in support of California’s Proposition 8 because “there is no need to change the universal, historical defintion of marriage to appease 2 percent of our population.”

Warren told The Huffington Post’s Marc Lamont Hill on Wednesday that he had made a “mistake” in publishing the video because it was supposed to be a private message to his congregation.

“What I learned from that is that anything I say privately is now public,” he explained. “I would not have made that statement. Because I wanted to talk to my own people. As a duty, as a shepherd, I’m responsible for those who put themselves under my care. I’m not responsible for everybody else.”

What a pathetic, two bit, weaselly piece of shit. He’s not sorry for advocating bigotry to his congregation, he’s sorry that his bigotry breached the internal firewall and attached itself to the wider reputation he holds outside the congregation.

Warren also told CNN’s Piers Morgan on Tuesday that homosexuality was “like punching a guy in the nose.”

Except for being nothing at all like punching a guy in the nose.

Seriously, this guy is a bigoted piece of shit, he just wants to be seen as a moderate.

“You know, Jesus taught, as a Christian, I am not allowed to hate anybody,” Warren agreed.

Except for fags fig trees. Jesus totally hated on unproductive fig trees.

Warren is delusional, it doesn’t matter if you call it hate, seeking to enshrine official bigotry into the law is intrinsically hateful.
