An open letter to Rick Warren and all like minded individuals:

Dr. Warren (et al),
Who the hell do you think you are? You claim to be a man of faith. Well, I sayot you, sir, that you are not worthy to so much as pick up the Bible to which you cling so tightly as you spew forth hatred and bigotry.
I’ve got news for you, Dr. Warren. God loves everybody. Yes, everybody. Even the people you absolutely loath. Even, as unfortunate for Christianity as it may be, you. So, I ask you again: Who the hell do you think you are? For you to treat any of God’s children as less than, for you to say that ANYBODY should be denied the right to marry, particularly LGBT’s, is to say that you think God is wrong.
That’s a pretty bold statement from someone who clings so tightly to the “Word of God.” Each and every time you stand up and compare gay marriage to incest or pedophilia, you say to God, “I know better than you do who is worthy of your love and compassion.”
In the end, that’s what it all comes down to. Compassion. You can’t have faith without compasion. It just doesn’t work. Without compassion, faith turns hard. It’s nothing more than a list of rules that you pick and choose from a really old book. That’s where hatred and bigotry come from, Dr. Warren. When you pick and choose passages from the Bible to use as artillery in the war against the people YOU’VE deemed unworthy of God’s love, it’s not because those people actually ARE unworthy of His love – it’s because you’ve got unwavering faith with absolutely no compassion. In order to truly understand the message of the Bible, you NEED compassion. Without compassion, the Bible is just a bunch of words – there’s no meaning.
So I ask you, what kind of wold do you want to live in? One where we show compassion for everyone, even the people we don’t like or understand, or a world where a few people can take away the rights of millions, just because they feel like it? I don’t know about you, but I’d choose the first one.
I only pray that God treats you with more compassion than you’ve treated millions of people.
Sincerely,
Someone whose potential marriage you claim is as bad as incest or pedophilia.
