What a narcissistic crybaby! He doesn’t get the nod and he starts whining and moaning about the guy who is chosen by Daddy to do something important.

And Chris, you comment about the differences between Robbie’s God and Dr. Warren’s (people don’t acknowledge the man has an earned doctorate) was spot on. Frankly, I don’t recognize Snivel-Box’s deity because he certainly isn’t the God of the Bible!

Doofus…

And the God that he’s praying to is not the God that I know.

I can’t believe he admitted in public. Talk about spilling the beans!

Are there any records of him saying that the Muslims worship the same god as Christians? That would be too good!

“it was like a slap in the face.”
It was for the good after all. I feel better …

Cheers

“…we’re talking about putting someone up front and center at what will be the most watched inauguration in history, and asking his blessing on the nation.”

Based on the grammatical structure of xVicki’s sentance I would say that he thinks that Pastor Warren is the one blessing the nation, not invoking God’s blessing!

Oh, who cares? I mean who gives a rip what the nominal bishop of a dwindling, post modern marginalised faux Christian sect thinks anyway. Rick Warren has a flock of 20,000 souls. Gene Robinson can barely get 4,000 people into all the pews in his diocese on a Sunday morning. Saddleback probably has Bible studies that large. Imagine: a combined Bible study class with a membership larger than the average Episcopal diocese.

I think anyone with half a brain can figure out exactly how that phone conversation went:

“Barack, it’s Gene on line one.”

“Gene? Gene who?”

Click.

It’s not hard to imagine, Pilgrim. There are several baptist churches here in Dallas/Fort Worth with 4000 ASA; heck, there are three Catholic parishes in Fort Worth that large, 9 in the 2000-3000 range, and 6 at 3000-4000. We have one parish in a Fort Worth suburb sitting at just under 8000.

From the chart below, I count 10 dioceses under 2,000 ASA and 4 more likely to be in that category next year. For perspective, my mid-sized Catholic parish has an ASA of 1900; the Baptist church down the street is about that size. There’s are several very large Methodist churches in the northern suburbs. One, I know has 10,000 members, although I don’t know the ASA.

So, let the gay church prelates rage. They still have money and media cache, since they make pretty pictures without making demands obnoxious to the cultural elites. But it’s a temporary thing: the sterile culture they promote will not support the pretty buildings and vestments forever.

I do surmise it is time for dear Dr. Mabuse to polish up those Braxton Lear awards once again.

Your pathetic wuss of a deity just sits there mechanically rubber-stamping everything you say, do and think.

Religiously, politically and in just about every other way one can name, guys like Rick Warren matter; Episcopal bishops don’t. At all. Period.

As much as the latter may tell you about knowing someone who went to school with someone who marched with Dr King, yup.

Obama reaching out to the Episcopalians would be preaching to the proverbial choir. He knows the Prot left and the gays are in his pocket and ever shall be, world without end. (Even though black voters for O in sunny California had the blowback effect of putting in Prop 8.) By reaching out to Rick he knows he’s got nothing to lose.

Paula,

From here it looks like Robby is going for a Baxton’s Lear Lifetime Achievement Award.

Yes, one definitely gets the impression that Gene is miffed at not being chosen himself. After all, he’s a simple country bishop… which for some reason makes him very very important…
