Idiot of the Week: Rick Warren
I have not written an Idiot of the Week post in awhile, but that doesn’t mean that there has not been plenty of idiocy. I’m back this week with another “winner” from a crowded field.
Props to Obama’s inauguration speaker, Christian extremist Pastor Rick Warren, for picking up this week’s honor. Pastor Warren sparked outrage from almost everyone outside his extremist circle when he refused to condemn Ugandan legislation that would make certain homosexual acts punishable by death. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Warren could do worse (and soon did).
According to Think Progress, Warren recently tweeted the following in a desperate attempt to change the subject:
Clearly, Pastor Warren recognizes the difficult spot in which he now finds himself. On one hand, he risks alienating most moderate Christians by refusing to condemn Uganda’s human rights abuses. On the other hand, he probably feels that he cannot do so because his Christian extremist supporters would quickly turn on him.
Doing the right thing isn’t supposed to be easy, Pastor. Do you hate homosexuals so much that you cannot speak out against those who would simply kill them?
