Not that there is anything wrong with WASP's. But at least this explains why he is so successful. He started his church in an area that had few churches and so desperately needed one. He basically tapped into a virgin market and became a millionaire.
Right. There were no churches in South Orange County until Rick Warren opened his church.

Al Capone wasn't a bank robber, he was a bootlegger and Willie Sutton, to whom the quote is attributed, never said it anyway.

Un-moving.
Self-serving.
Shows his non-diverse nature.

Plus his speech rate, pitch and appearance is all off.

Total Miss.
