Rick Warren says media and bloggers are lying about him

[vionnavalis]

Fuckin prick

[csnowutube]

He's not free to hate? So much for free will.

[bloomingdedalus]

What a flame.

[mrplao]

Marriage also involves trading of livestock and a joining of two households and this pig apparently is still bitter. Bureaucracy on all levels creates self righteousness and to Rick I think he needs a treadmill and a biology book.

[jacobreedijk]

"the definition of marriage has been the same since the beginning of man in all cultures"?

Really? In renaissance and middle age times, it was a matter of property of politics...

Mesopotamian and ancient Greek, Egyptian and roman practices were often polygamous...

In many modern day cultures, a spouse is a purchase similar to a car...

Really? All the same?

[oldjoe5]

This guy does look gay

[Grimlin1195]

You're right I don't believe everything I hear or read. Such as The Star, the Bible, etc.

[Fairandright]

Whew! Homos are pretty much angry.

Homos are usually identified with sick language. Speaking of foolishness... Full of envy and insecurity.

So those who commented with sick baaaad language are poor souls unless they repent. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".

And Rick Warren is not lying.... He is God's beloved. Truth is like a two-edged sword.

[doobiesmoke15]

He looks like a younger Jerry Falwell with a beard.

[almoncharles]

It's all about love. And he LOVES his hostess twinkies and KFC.

Having sex with Rick must be like rolling around in the mud with the shitty grunting 350 pound hog. He farts so loud it turns the fucking clapper on.

[almoncharles]

There was a time in the middle ages when 2 folks of the same sex could marry, even monks. So don't talk about the definition of marriage, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, you silly twat.

[almoncharles]

You should call it BROKEback Church.

[almoncharles]

You are going to burn in Hell.

How much did you pay for Ted Haggarty's male hustler black book?

What's with all the muscle mags under yo bed, bro?

[almoncharles]

Hey Rick, what with the sperm breath?

[almoncharles]

A family of four, in Africa, could live for a week on what this Fat Queen eats in a day.

[jackthetwist]

I'm pretty sure one of the really BIG rules from the Bible (and ALL religions and ALL cultures) is that people shouldn't lie. Really though, I don't mind people disagreeing with me. I mind people lying and spreading bad information. How pathetic.

[BradNYC]

HE IS FLAT OUT LYING. Right here on YouTube is the video showing where he compares gay partnerships to incest, polygamy, pedophilia.

SEARCH: "Rick Warren Comparing Gay Marriage to incest, etc etc etc".

It's all right there. Now he's denying that he said it.

LIAR LIAR LIAR!

[timm9]

Obama is NOT for gay marriage....the weak minded was brain washed by obama's speeches.

[timm9]

obama LOVES Rick Warren.

[TogusaM207]

0:55 you believe the Bible don't you Mr. Warren, well going on you logic that makes you a "fool". lol dumb people make me lul

[rslr123]

rick warren is such a FUCKIN' BULLSHITTER! because the CORE of his belief/argument is that gay/lesbian people are LESS THAN!!! Do you understand what I mean?! Would you accept this argument if it were about Black people or Women?! I am a proud gay man, so I WON'T take his FUCKIN' BULLSHIT as an excuse to give the invocation! Hear me out, NO FUCKIN' WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[VonnGeek]

Trying to follow his logic made my brain hurt.

Too much wrong and contradictions to point out at 2am. Tough it looks like everyone else is doing a good job of it.

[yes0n8always]

Wow You Guys just sit here and argue all day. and sorry to say rick warren isnt rich. hes gives all the money he earns back to the church. he gives back 90% of the money and only keeps 10%. You sit here and accuse a man of things and you don't know him personally. Wow get lives. He does a lot for people but yea no one mentions that.

[kurd55]

yes0n8always: No matter how much Warren gives to charity it doesnt give him a pass on being a bigot, fool. And what's 10-percent of 500 million? Let me clue you in---it's 50 million---I think that qualifies as rich---right, fool? And you sit here on YouTube defending multimillionaires---talk about needing to "get a life." BTW---Yes on 8 means you are a filthy bigot, as well.

[BradNYC]

Rick Warren sits there and accuses a WHOLE CLASS OF PEOPLE (i.e., gays) of all kinds of horrible things. Yet he doesn't know us. He certainly doesn't know me.

I always find it funny how religious zealots talk about gays as if they actually KNEW something about us. They don't. Mostly, all they know are the lies and stereotypes they've been fed. All they really think about is sex. They never think about the daily acts of love and kindness that make up a relationship. Odd.

[ApplyUrBrain]

SO right. E.g, Rick Warren claims "lots of gays" have come to him asking why it would be wrong to have lots of sex partners. What a joke! Imagine even one gay asking a preacher who condemns ANY gay sex, why he can't have lots of sex partners. Illogical! Yet he claims "lots of gays" have. We see it again & again: for fundamentalists, lying is often a way of life. They are so used to it, they don't even realize they do it! Guess they think God doesn't mind if they routinely lie in his favor.

[BradNYC]

@ ApplyUrBrain: I agree with you, except the last sentence. People like Warren are not "lying in God's favor." They are just lying, period. No serious moral code supports lying, yet these folks do it all the time... if it suits their purposes.

[ApplyUrBrain]

Yeah, that's what I meant. They operate as if any means justifies the end. (I don't even agree with their "end.")

[docjenn]

I say he babbled a lot but hes right that it all comes down to LOVE. We MUST love one another, but we dont have to accept their beliefs or behaviors.

[DJCritterH]

hm, last time I checked religion also likes to "create conflict"

[psxwarrior]

I'd never go to his church. I don't trust him at all. He's too tolerant of other false religions.

[lilbirdy25]

No, no, no, no, no, Holy Union is what the gays use to get married and you can't take that away. You can use it too. I think Holy Union sounds just as good myself. So, Warren even opposes a Holy Union. Too bad, he can oppose it all day. He thinks he's God? He lies so many times. Doesn't he know he is on video proving his lies? Talks about the media lying and he's going to be doing what on FOX? He so anti everything that he knows nothing about, but sure doesn't mind lying!

[ApplyUrBrain]

So many lies, I lost count. But probably the biggest one is where he says "marriage" has since the beginning of time been this or that. If he were HONEST, he'd acknowledge that both the reasons for, and the style of, marriages has been all over the map in the course of history. But for fundamentalists like Warren, truth really isn't that important! Just sound SINCERE and hey, most people will fall for it.

[BradNYC]

Bravo! You said it perfectly.

[spewhunt]

hey look it's Rick Warren talking

can you please stop talking Rick Warren and diaf already

[Veltanschaung]

Where is Hillary when she is really needed!

[Veltanschaung]

Is this the man Obama wants to lead the "Spiritual Inauguration" with?

So, Rick's views haven't changed in 30 years! Gays are pedophiles who commit incest and women who have abortions are Nazis!

Obama should have invited Rev. Wright. He had said "Barack's just another politician and will do anything and say anything to get elected"~ Rev. Wright wasn't Wrong! Women and gays for Obama should go to Church & pray!

[lgbtrainbowlinks]

If the "true" believers of religous dogma believe the Bible word for word,as God only created Adam & Eve, weren't they having sex outside of marriage (as there was no one to marry them), and wouldn't that make all their children bastards and then as there were no "outside the family tree" individuals to fornicate with, having relations of incest ?

Think about it!

[lilbirdy25]

LOL, so true!! I've thought about that. There was defenitily incest! Had to be!

[amanjsingh]

He wants no polarization. He just wants that there be only Church and just Church.

[aleksapovseksa]

FUCK OFF PASTOR

[amanjsingh]

I like you for saying that.

[rosewood223]

lol

[AndrewMann552]

Why are these people even given any importance in our political system? Haven't we had 8 years already of lunatics in office?

[kurd55]

Sounds like a sloppy tap-dance to me---with heavy doses of backpedaling, factual cherry picking, hypocrisy, and blame-the-media clichés. A simple apology for even mentioning gay marriage, pedophilia, and incest in the same breath (and everyone knows you were comparing them) would have been better.

I thought you were more honest or at least smarter than this, Mr. Warren. However, Im NOT surprised.

[DrewbooGSU]

LIES. Marriage has not been defined as a universally same thing throughout time cultures and religions. IN FACT, all forms of Christianity have recognized same-sex unions throughout history, including catholics, protestants, and orthodox Christians. Jesus said that not every man is meant to join with a woman "for there are eunuchs who have been so since birth, made that way by other men, or made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom". Get your facts "straight" Rick Bigot!

[diavolo1991]

Get fucked, you fat repressed bastard.

[iwillkillfrankluntz]

Flown under the radar for so long, haven't you, Rick? Kinder, gentler Christian who's still got his head up his ass about gays, how long did it take for us to notice that?

Whine, just whine now... see if anyone cares.

[Christopher0312]

Rick Warren is a gluttonous, antigay, pro-life, pro-assassination gasbag. Fuck you, Rickie.

[MoJoSB]

No hate here and not hiding at all...

Not sure if god made sex but I know God didn't make marriage, we did.

We invented marriage... It doesn't exist without us and it didn't exist until we thought it up.

You want to make marriage special, but it's not. it's just a contract, nothing more. The only thing that gives it meaning is what YOU believe, not anyone else.

Might be time to give with one up Rick, cause you are going to lose in time. Besides, it's so god damn childish.

[theboojee]

Pastor Warren a reminder that GLUTTONY is one of the seven deadly sins.

[TGIFurry]

"redefinition"? we don't want to redefine the primary meaning, we want to add to the list of people who can marry. "redefinition" is another excuse. white marriage green card marriage, boston marriage, common law marriage; all various meanings in the defenintion of the word marriage.

[tintintabulations]

Sheesh. At least Phelps and Dobson are honest religious fanatics. Warren is a flatterer and liar.

[amiserable]

Rick Warren is a liar and a coward. I am ashamed that such a lowlife is giving the invocation of a new US President.

Sir, your intolerance disgusts me. It is not acceptable that you be placed in such a position of honor, as I feel you have no honor, and deserve no respect.

[kkinder12]

Rick, get off your "oh, poor me, the media, the bloggers" victim role. You support depriving of their basic rights. When a loved one wants to visit someone in the hospital, you're the one standing in the way, holding your Bible, and yelling "no". Your "views" are immoral, hateful, bigoted, wrong, and categorically reprehensible. Your "opinion" on homosexuality is categorically evil and until you categorically apologize for it, you're on my shitlist.

[thomasmc1957]

Yeah, and I love born-again Christians, too.

My only desire is that they give up their vile reiligion of hate, and join the human race!

[wboot]

It's the media's fault you're an ignorant bigot?

[nri1969]

This dude Warren sets off my gaydar. Major blips on the gaydar screen. *BEEP BEEP BEEP!!*

[RebelFleetCommander]

I don't ever remember Obama saying that he was for gay marriage. He used words like "union" or "partnership" just like Rick Warren, thus aligning himself with the no-gay-marriage crowd. Did some of you not read the fine print?

[kkinder12]

Obama opposed Proposition 8. Warren supported it. That's enough for me.

[Godsboy3]

Rick I don't hate you, but when you decide to take the same exact stand against those whom are divorced and remarried in your church then I might just find what you have to say as a little more credible. I traveled the ex-gay route for 30 years believing the lies that you put forth. God is the one who finally made real to me that I never sought Him for the truth rather I chose to believe this narrow minded view that doesn't hold up biblically--however you wear blinders like I did for many years.

[pcspeaker]

Rick wants gay people to use another term besides marriage. Perhaps he should lead by example and redefine his marriage as a "partnership" so he won't be such a hypocrite.

[skateharder21]

This man is the Ronald McDonald of Corporate Christianity; fast,cheap and very bad for your health.

[justin3500]

Rich has never preached hate and bigotry?!!? What?? You can hold an orange in my face and tell me it's a banana. He says that gays shouldn't have the same rights as the rest of America?!? That's pretty bigoted if you ask me.

[peahix]

i think mr. warren should take his own advice vis a vis believing everything you hear/read in the media and apply it to the BIBLE, certainly a vastly less reliable source of information. foolish indeed.

[Mattmon2]

Religious views about gay marriage do not apply if you have marriage as a GOVERNMENT endorsed institution. As soon as you bring government in, you also have to bring in the separation of church and state.

[friendlier]

No one is arguing Rick Warren's constitutional right to free speech, as he keeps trying to claim here. He can say whatever he wants, and does.

The argument is with the Obama transition team. The argument is about having Rick Warren chosen to preach at an inauguration that was made possible, in part, by millions of gay people voting for Obama, and AGAINST the ideas that Rick Warren puts out.

This video is an embarrassment. But he knows it keeps people talking about ... Rick Warren.

[frellthat]

Rick Warren has a personal net worth of $11 million. Don't you love the way he keeps talking about giving to charity? Meanwhile he is most likely the wealthiest pastor in the country.

Selling eternal life is an unbeatable business, 'cause nobody can ask for a refund when the goods aren't delivered.

[friendlier]

You got that right!

[dharmicangel]

Rick warren is a bigot and a monster. Who is Obama aligning himself with?!?!?

[obamawill2008]

rick warren is an American Big Box Christian. and sadly i'm seeing obama as a political opportunist. and both are turning out to be phonies.

[jdwjdw]

liar, liar, pants on fire.

and to continue this level of maturity, hey fattie, gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. lay off the dougnuts.

[PatrickMChapman]

Marriage has not always been defined heterosexually. This is simply not true. Anthropologists have plenty of evidence.

[blogswarm]

One does not to be God to watch this and google to see Rick Warren is lying.

[MoonBabyhowl]

Lying is a sin, Rick.

[rg0057]

Rick is a liar. Isn't not the media and blogs. It's his OWN WORDS on camera. And marriage has had many meanings, not just over time, not just across the world, but even just in California today. He even admits it later when he says "vast majority" instead of "all". And who is Rick to give ME the freedom to choose? That egomaniac doesn't have that power. Last, Jesus says you'll hate your parents, and kill your bad kids (check it out yourself). It's definitely not about love.

[tae1720]

So all this is about the term "marriage"? thats what the effing contorversy is about to Warren? Warren and his flock don't want the gays to call their unions a "marriage"?

Great googly-moogly.

Jesus, save me from your nutty-assed followers.

[ratpat]

It's not the media, its you. Those your your bigoted words and comments, and people rightfully reacted to them. Except responsibility, we don't all have to think your some sort of middle ground righteous christian, nor do we have to like the things you stand for.

[jerrydoubleu]

It's so rude to like like you do Ricky dicky.

[SeanChapin1]

Warren talks about the media creating conflict. Unfortunately, I am living a conflict by being denied my fundamental right to marry the one that I love. I think that my personal conflict hurts a little more that what the media might say about Warren.

[rufie710]

but Dr. Warren... I just saw that video where when asked if you equated homosexuality with incest and pedophilia you said " yes." I just saw it. I can watch it again. It's right over there----->

argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[bruisernyc]

lyer and completely un-Christian

[varoger]

Rick Warren is a LIAR! and Obese!!

[krolla42]

The GD lying sonofabitch claims he hasn't said what he has said a thousand ON THE RECORD. F... him and the whore he rode in on.

[NOtoPROP8]

Rick Warren is a bigot and a liar. Rick Warren has not only said hateful things about gay people he has actually done hateful things to gay people like take away their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to marriage and try to "convert" them to heterosexuality.

[projectdan]

I always love when religious yahoos use the word "choice" to condone their behavior yet, when I do the same, it's unacceptable. Thanks for providing yet another double standard, sir. You are, as ever, on the wrong side of history.

[thechaserblog]

he just needs to get laid

[begby69th]

I love this Pastor. And now your hero Obama is embacing him. Don't you faggots get it - the politicians only need you once every 4 years in November.

At least with people like me you faggots know where you stand.

[rjpcambridge]

Lets us not forget ... his BIGGEST push before traitor Obama in the national spotlight was when the woman who was being held captive by a home invader CLAIMED the criminal let her free because she read to him from Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life".

Later she admitted this was a LIE.

She was a METH user and got her captor HIGH - they spent the night together high on METH and then he turned himself over to the cops.

It was not Rick Warren that set her free - it was having drugs around.

[rjpcambridge]

Telling your followers to not believe "the media" and believe you instead is one of the signs of FACISM. He knows it. He knows it is a sleazy thing to do --- and he is choosing to attack the messenger. He and his followers can believe anything they want about same sex intimacy, sexuality and relationships. It should mean nothing to anyone else --- religion is not law in America today. But these Christianist Facists support Straight Supremacy. That like White Supremacy is a misuse of religion.

[albertrossington]

when in Africa....Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. We shall not tolerate this aspect at all, Dr Warren said.

[johnozed]

What an asshole. He's like Bush and Cheney, denying what they had said even though it's been recorded on tape. He should be watched carefully, he's a dangerous and desperate man.

[nclemente]

Amnesia much? Youtube: ce1ILmS5yMo

[Sopmylo]

Does the man not know he's on video, saying what he claims he never said?

[begby69th]

Who? Obama?
