Warren has led the way addressing a whole host of social justice, poverty and AIDS issues. He has helped his church “do something” about the world’s problems in a compassionate and powerful way.

The fact that you disagree with the man on one issue should not keep you from working with him in the areas where you have agreement.

He believes that God created the universe. So what! He’s not anti-science. He’s even open to the idea that God used evolutionary processes to accomplish the task.

He believes that human life begins at conception. Can you prove that it doesn’t?

He agrees with 5000 years of human religious thought concerning homosexuality. That’s not too shocking, He’s a pastor and most every pastor who has ever preached in a US pulpit believes the same because this is what the Bible clearly teaches.

Warren doesn’t equate homosexuality with incest per se. He equates it with all sexual sin. Adultery, Polygamy, Incest, Beastiality. It’s all outside of the Judeo-Christian tradition of appropriate sexual expression. I don’t know if God thinks these are all equivalent. People are tempted by different things. Acting on any of those temptations is equally wrong, and sometimes in our culture, illegal.

It turn out that the same “Creator” that gave us inalienable rights, also gave us a moral code which serves as the foundation for our U.S. rule of law, much of which you would agree is good and valuable.

You’ve redacted one piece of that moral law. You have the freedom to do so, just don’t expect the rest of us to legitimize your choice by calling it “marriage.” We respectfully disagree and should have the right to do so without being cast out of the democracy.

Good for Obama.
