Hello. I was an early supporter of Barack Obama during his candidacy. I am also a strong proponent of civil discourse in our society. You and I may have vastly different ideologies about the world around us, and have world views that are often at odds with one another, but that does not mean we cannot meet one another and talk and discuss out of mutual respect for the other’s opinions. I believe it is possible for people to amicably disagree with one another, and still find mutual ground on which to form a compromise. And though I disagree with you on many social and religious beliefs, I greatly respect you for continuing to be a strong supporter of civil discourse in our deeply divided and angry society/Toadman, Synaptic Disunion. More here.
Question: What do you think of Barack Obama’s friendly relationship with Evangelical preacher Rick Warren? Or vice versa?

Warren is glad-handing, “Prosperous Christianity” hawking, two-faced, no, multiple faced fraud. After making hideous comments about gay people, then denying he said it, then he tells prominent lesbian Ellen Degeneres he was wrong, and apologized for his remarks. He has no core prinicples. He’s little more than a friendly carnival barker.
You can’t have an intelligent discussion with these sorts. He’ll say anything to anyone if he thinks it make him look better. Charlatan.
