Warren Cleans Up

So, hippie liberal atheists and mouth-foaming Christian fundamentalists are both freaking out that Rick Warren of A Purpose Driven Life infamy will be delivering the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration. Granted, Warren is a tool who couches old Bible-based nonsense in the shiny, happy exterior of populist, megachurchiness. And Obama's recruitment of him to deliver an unnecessary invocation just reeks of pandering to those people who would otherwise be shocked that our president-to-be won't swear his oathe of office on a stack of Korans. But it seems there might be a silver lining to all this middle of the road ass kissing, as someone has removed a stated ban against gays from Warren's Saddleback Church website. Previously, gays were homo non grata at the gigantic place of worship/shopping center. Is the good pastor now taking orders from the gay-friendly Obama administration? Or is Rev. Warren simply growing the section of the brain that allows for rational thinking? Only time (or an MRI) will tell... More details here.
