I Agree With Rick Warren

In a video address to the members of his Jesus resort/shopping mall/church, purpose-driven pastor Rick Warren has explained that gay marriage is a "humanitarian and human issue". For once, Rick Warren is right! At least when it comes to the words he used. Not so right is his intended meaning, which is that because gay people are a minority, they shouldn't be allowed to infringe upon the rights of the majority to change the definition of marriage. What Warren doesn't seem to understand is that the definition of marriage has changed many times throughout history. It's been a property arrangement, a business transaction, and a union only between people of the opposite sex and the same race. The only constant in the many varied definitions of the term is the idea that it is a contract entered into by two people. In which case, what's the problem with letting the gays in on some of that hot legal action? Obviously, it boils down to the fact that Warren and people like him believe that God thinks being gay is icky, so we shouldn't allow those people the same human rights as everyone else. So yeah, Rick. It is a humanitarian issue. You're just on the wrong side. More details here.
