Goddamn Rick Warren

Obama's inauguration was largely inspirational.

But, as expected, Rich Warren's presence was an obvious hindrance.

His speech was hardly a speech - it was a prayer.

For the growing number of people who chose not to worship deities, this was uncomfortable, to say the least.

For those who happen to belong to the gay community - roughly 1 in 10 of us - this was downright awful. That's not to say gays are godless, but Warren was adamantly in favor of Prop 10 and harbors many anti-gay beliefs.

Obama said he chose Warren in order to bring ALL Americans together, but Warren's divisive and hateful beliefs do all they can to tear America further apart.

To top his rambling, fat and sweaty prayer off, Warren read us The Lord's prayer. That is to say, The Christian Lord's prayer.

Great day, historic day, one awful choice.

Also, never has karma been more visually evident as was when Cheney's evil ass was forced to wheel itself around.

Well, this queer wasn't offended. He was there to give a prayer, not a speech. Apparently most of America doesn't see anything wrong with that. I think it's good that Obama is trying to make the Evangelicals feel as comfortable as possible. That's how you eventually steal their souls and turn them into Godless, gay porn-loving ass-lickers.

My main objection is not for you lovely queers - although that is part of the objection. My main beef is his intense, hot ray of Christianity so near something (government) that it is suppose to function separately from. He basically got down on his knees and serviced the Christian God and urged the nation to do the same. No thanks. I guess I object the very presence of a prayer.

Yeah ... throughout the inauguration, I kept thinking that prayer was way too prevalent. Even the Jewish lawmakers seemed to have been making the sign of the cross.
