Rick Warren: Living a life of purpose

"God smiles when you are you"....ahahaha....he knows this how? how can any individual attempt to know what a supreme, "non-existent" being feels or does? That is ridiculous, I'm all for people gaining a sense of security, Just don't take advantage of peoples naiveness. you don't need "god" to feel better. Religion is easily the most effective way to get people to feel better about themselves, give them purpose, and get some money out of it. RW, you are riding the money wagon, enjoy it!

I like the last minute, where he starts talking about how God feels when you do things. I like that... the constant pleas of his own humility, and then claims that he knows the mind of God.

Isn't the Bible still the best-selling book in history? This is exactly the kind of self-aggrandizement with a thin gloss of humility that I find very off-putting about religious leaders.

How on Earth did that garbage book ever get into the top list??

look man, from where do you think cancer surfaces in a body???
duh?
answer:
from stress.
now can you imagine being married to RW?
My mother passed away from cancer, given to her by her husband.
RW is toxic
period.

There is no god. You can lead a fulfilling life without believing in imaginary beings.

However I must say that Warren is extremely influential. Understanding him, is to understand the power of religion.

This talk does not really fit in TED

I feel embarrassed for TED to even have this man speak there...The dumbest person probably in that room, was giving the lecture.

God wants you to be you, eh? What if what you are is in conflict with what God wants?

Who exactly is this guy who claims to be able to discern whether people are 'living' or 'existing'? He's just a (failed) actor in the movie called 'KryzMasta's Life'... I cut most of his line out of the movie though, it didn't really work out very well. ;-)
