Reply #38: I agree, but I think you missed something about Warren [View All]

Rick Warren, despite the recent hype, has been a widely accepted preacher, preaching the widely accepted version of the gospel. I haven't heard anything he's said that's outside the mainstream of christian theology. Preachers get run out of town all the time for preaching outside the bible. Rick Warren isn't getting run out of anywhere, he is getting invited everywhere.

I honestly think that Obama believes what Warren believes, and accepts the same interpretation of scripture that Warren provides. They obviously differ greatly on what should (and shouldn't) be done.

If that's true, and I could be wrong, then it makes sense for Obama to pick Warren, considering he is so popular all over the country.

Aside from Warren, I agree with everything you said. Especially your analysis of what we can expect from President Obama.
