Rick Warren Invocation
That was horrible IMO, how can anyone stand listening to him?
Un-moving.
Self-serving.
Shows his non-diverse nature.
Plus his speech rate, pitch and appearance is all off.
Total Miss.

Wow, I liked it. I especially loved that he ended it with the Lord's Prayer.

I think he was an embarrassment, unbelievably insincere and his preaching was 3am Walmart Church TV-Advertisement style...cheesey.
I just cannot believe he has such a huge following, I don't even care about him being anti-gay rights, he is a horrible pastor and he is like 5 miles away from my house...JESUS SAVE ME!

You just don't like him because he prayed in Jesus name

Not true at all, everyone is entitled to their beliefs.
I applaud him for getting up there, but I think he was awful and embarrassing.

"Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans, are united not by race or religion or blood but by our commitment to freedom and justice for all."
This is a man who likened gay people to pedophilia and yet he tries to discuss unity?
Like I said, I thought it was insincere and overall awful.

His speech reminded me of the part of Orange County that his megabuck$ church serves.... boring and very white.

He also equated Atheists with 3 vicious murderers of the 20th Century: Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, and Mao.
What a winner.
