Rick Warren Pays Himself First AKA his good works, are not as great as they seem.


I beat up Rick Warren because he begs me to

And you know what? I didn't believe Rick Warren's PEACE propaganda was that bad. I didn't believe that the stupid homophobic fuckwit could possibly be so stupid as to put something like "plant churches" right in the P for PEACE. And hadn't I read somewhere that it stood for "Promote Reconciliation"? Why, indeed I had. But check this out:
