Rick Warren apologized for supporting California’s Proposition 8 and announced his new position is to take no position on the subject of homosexuality. Appearing on Larry King Live, Warren explained that he had written a message in support of the traditional marriage definition, but that afterwards he wrote apologies to all his homosexual friends. His back peddling is still in high gear.
When asked by King if he would not comment on or criticize the Iowa court decision permitting homosexual marriage , Warren answered: “Yes. I’m — I’m totally oblivious to — to what — that’s not even my agenda.”1 To make it on to Warren’s agenda you have to commit genocide, or be on the festivities list of celebrating his church’s upcoming thirtieth anniversary.
What prompted Warren’s turnaround was the response his members had to his comments in support of the biblical definition of marriage. “And then all of a sudden out of it,” complained Warren, “they made me, you know, something that I really wasn’t.”2 That’s right, they mistakenly made Warren out to be a Christian pastor. Hopefully, the day will soon come when no one will ever make that mistake again.
