Bill O’reilly finally went to the head of the snake and slapped up a picture of Jon Meacham, fingering him for the far-left turn Newsweek has taken under his editorship. I’ve been following this guy for awhile. He’s the kind of guy the media loves to parade out when they want to talk religion. His mealy-mouthed liberal slant on Christianity has always driven me nuts. I picture myself talking to O’reilly a year ago trying to tell him what kind of guy Meacham really is and having him blow me off as just another far-right guy.
I see some good coming out of this. Meacham is, in my opinion, a phony Christian. A guy who doesn’t really believe the Bible. Thinks it’s all just a bunch of fairy tales and that society should interpret and twist it to a modern liberal end. And this brings me to Rick Warren. Here’s a guy who isn’t in the Meacham vein of religious belief. I would never tar Warren by saying he is like Meacham. But this guy does have some liberal leanings. First there was his alliance with other liberals on global warming. Here is a ridiculous piece from the Christian Science Monitor which never once mentions any Christians who don’t buy into the religious faith of Earth worshiping socialists. Then, what I refer to as the bomb, dropped. A few weeks ago the so-called “Evangelical Manifesto” was unveiled to public. Among the prominent signers was Rick Warren. But I can not think of one conservative Evangelical that signed. Just a whole slew of liberals.
I have to wonder why Warren would go along with something like this? Does he hold some sort of antipathy toward conservative Christians? If nothing else, it shows a willingness to take shortcuts in order to obtain an objective. Considering that there are only eighty signers on the document, he must have known that conservatives were being left out. I mean, come on. I doubt you could convince me that Rick Warren is so dumb that he didn’t know. I think Warren means well and is trying to do some good, but you don’t do good by allying yourself with liberal groups like the NCC and Marxists like Jim Wallis.
Jim Wallis is a despicable left-wing radical who has been at it since the 70’s. I seen him talk many times about how conservatives define morality narrowly by only talking about gay marriage and abortion, but I have never once seen the man talk about his position on these issue. Of course, the liberal media never bothers to ask those questions. So, your really have to wonder if he is pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage. Attacking conservative Wallis said, “I think it’s a great tradition that’s been distorted and hijacked for some time by the religious right and I want to take it back, or try to redeem the language.” He was speaking of Evangelicalism. He says that gay marriage isn’t a big deal compared to some of the other issues we are facing. I.E, I’m pro gay marriage.
I think Rick Warren really needs to rethink his alliances with some of these left-leaning leaders, but I really don’t think the man has the depth of thought to understand the error that he is making. I think leaders such as himself believe that cultivating relationships is more important than standing against the extreme views of some of these men. If Warren was doing due diligence, which I doubt, he would know just where some of these men are coming from and how anti-Christian their agenda is.
