"I'll take my marriage with anchovies."You may have heard by now that President-elect Barack Obama asked Pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at the Inauguration. This made a lot of people very angry since Pastor Warren is opposed to gay marriage and holds other positions liberals find disturbing.
Pastor Rick has been defending Obama's choosing him by offering a lot of trite phrases.
Such as:
"I have many gay friends. I've eaten dinner in gay homes. No church has probably done more for people with AIDS than Saddleback Church."
"You don't have to see eye to eye to walk hand in hand."
And my personal favorite:
"Just because I like pizza it doesn’t mean I should marry it."
He was interviewed recently by Ann Curry of NBC when he offered the pizza analogy. After the cameras stopped rolling, he continued by saying:
“Biologically, I am predisposed to enjoy the immaculate melding of mozzarella cheese, red sauce and thick crust baked to tasty perfection.
But that doesn’t mean I should enter into a lifelong commitment with Sicilian or plain, nor bed it down, nor bring children into the world and have them have to explain to their classmates why their mom’s crust is not a crisp as it once was.
Does any child deserve to have their friends tossing Monday 2 for 1 coupons in his face? Not in my world they don’t. Yet, to say that I am against pizza-eaters or gays is absurd.
Our Saddleback Church offer more weight-watchers meetings to overeaters than any other evangelical megachurch on the west coast.”
Clearly from the size of him, it appears that Pastor Warren does in fact love pizza and probably a lot of other food as well. Maybe he should be going to those Overeaters meetings at his church.
