Obama is trying to erase the memory of Rev. Wright by picking a fresh new replacement. I'm quite sure Warren will become the new "presidential spiritual advisor," the role the Billy Graham filled for so many years in decades past, and which people feared Rev. Wright would fill -- at least until Obama threw him under the bus.

But is Warren any better than Rev. Wright? He's certainly different, but he's noxious and kind of creepy in so many other ways, and has a bizarre set of beliefs that don't seem to hang together.

If Warren was a true Christian, wouldn't he want to bring the world to Christ? By saying he "loves Muslims," and speaking enthusiastically at their convention, is he abandoning them to an eternity in Hell, since he quite obviously is doing nothing to convert them? At least Billy Graham was consistent, whether or not you liked him. He was an actual old-fashioned Christian Christian, with an emphasis on salvation and conversion. Warren is one of those phony-seeming gurus who just put on a Christian mask to assume the aura of sanctity.

I don't trust him one bit. Yet he is going to have access to the White House. When Obama has to pray with someone before nuking Pakistan, it's Rick Warren he's gonna call in to help him make the decision.
