Hot on the heels of the new Amateur Scientist forum (click it on the right), presidential candidates Barack "I Don't Understand Satire" Obama and John "Senile" McCain have agreed to finally stop scribbling angry press releases at each other and meet in a public forum. However, they've chosen Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback megachurch in California as the venue. Warren says he called each candidate personally to invite them to discuss AIDS, poverty, and the environment. While most associate Christian evangelicals with AIDS-free, wealthy polluters, Warren has gained a reputation as a compassionate Christian concerned about what some might call progressive issues. Also, if you don't accept his demigod into your heart, he believes your soul will burn in a lake of fire. More details here. And as a remedy for Warren's insipid bestseller The Purpose Driven Life, check out our friend Robert M. Price's excellent The Reason Driven Life.
