Sarah Palin = Virtuous Woman, Rick Warren = Attention Whore

I caught this on Hot Air:

On a Los Angeles radio show, co-host Kathryn Milofsky asked Warren what one question he would direct at Palin if he was able to have her sit down for a forum like the one he hosted last month with John McCain and Barack Obama at his Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California.

“Well actually she called me yesterday,” Warren said. “The question I asked her was ‘how can I pray for you?’”

Warren said that Palin then “asked me to send her some bible verses on how do you deal with the unfair, unjust attacks and the mean-spirited criticism that comes in.”

The truth was Warren in his typical suck-up mode had actually called Palin FIRST, and she was merely returning his call out of courtesy. When prompted as to what he could do for her, that’s when she asked for helpful Bible verses.

Notice she asked for Bible verses, not quotes from his “The Secret” styled book, the “Purpose Driven Life.” Of course knowing Warren, he probably offered her Bible verses cherry picked from 80 different translations.

What really chapped my smooth cooties about this though was the perception he gave that Palin had actually sought him out asking for spiritual advice.

Here’s a clue Rickie: Women with balls of steel don’t need advice from men who don’t have any, mmmmk sweetheart? So why don’t you go waddle back to your carnival of a “church” you call Brokeback Saddleback and leave the real Christians alone?

Really, what made you think an independent Pentecostal was going to seek out spiritual guidance from a clueless Baptist like you anyway? Dweeb.

That Warren sure likes attention. I didn’t know she was returning his call, good catch.

Somehow I don’t see him living up to the standard of Billy Graham “America’s preacher”, though he seems to be trying for that position.

I’m glad I found the whole story. The idea that she sought him out would have left a very bad taste in my mouth. :sick:

I think Franklin Graham already has that position wrapped up, so Warren should look elsewhere. :ggrin:

Rick Warren is completely full of himself. Always trying to insert himself in with what he perceives are the ‘movers and shakers’ (he actually admits that in an article about how to grow your church). It’s pathetic.

Franklin Graham has said we don’t need to evangelize during our visit to China for the Olympics. I’m not sure he has that wrapped up either. His Dad also wasn’t faithful to the Gospel, he went the ecumenical route and consorted with evil men. (this is not what Paul did, he was taken before evil men in chains and told them to repent and believe the Gospel).

Rick Warren is one of the most liberalizing influences on the church today, despite his claims to private conservatism. He is very very man centered and self centered. It’s all about him… and US… and not about God, contrary to what his fluff book claims in the first sentence.

@Paula: I have to agree, though out of the three I think Franklin Graham is the most agreeable.
