We Call on You Lord: Leaked Rick Warren Invocation PARODY

God I really hope this is a hoax / parody.

Here's part of it:

"May all efforts to stop homosexuals from violating the ancient humanitarian institution of marriage succeed as did your will in California in the last election. Attend particularly, O lord, to President Obama's environmental chief Nancy Sutley, and to the man who has worked essentially without sleep for three months to save the American economy from total collapse, Representative Barney Frank. Use the government to bring an end to acts as bad as incest, pedophilia and polygamy, by stamping out homosexuality among the homosexuals, a people evolutionarily unfit, that we may truly become one nation before God. May the First Amendment to the Constitution protect all who want to compare homosexual sex to incest, pedophilia and polygamy from the arrows of hate speech accusations shot by the politically correct."

I can't believe he would say something do controversial in his speech.
I would imagine he won't specifically mention homosexuality at all,
but speak in generalizations and non-denominational platitudes.

Am I naive?

So...what he's saying basically is that he's gay?

You might be Naive, but there's no way that's real. It's obviously a hoax.

There is no way that even if that IS a draft of the speech (which I personally doubt) that any of that will make it to inauguration day.

Note the paragraph on women:

"Bless the women, who have chosen to follow their ambitions into public life, but change the hearts, Lord, of Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton, Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis from independent lives of their own to submission to their husbands, if any, for I love the King James Version's rendition of Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands" and of course "Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ if God." 1 Corinthians 11:3. These women have chosen to participate in the public life of the community. Enlighten them as to the requirement that women not speak in church, saving any questions they have about their common life to ask their husbands as they return home."

What a funny parody, Diva!

Hey Joe-how about a REAL comment from you about how deplorable Obama's choice was? There's no need for you to stand behind pride at this point. We're all in this together.

(Edited, but no, I was NOT worried you'd make Rick look bad. Reality makes him--and Barack--look even worse.)

Clearly a hoax, but an entirely accurate expression of Rick Warren's views.

Pass.

I did read it, and found it very offensive.

Why should I delete it? It's right there on the Huffington Post.

And I only found it after following the link to read the story about the guy who overbid for oil in Utah.

Are you afraid it's going to make Rick look bad? He's done that all on his own.

Diva, the piece is a parody invocation, not at all a really leaked draft of a real Rick Warren invocation.

Better?

I was just using the title that was with the piece...
