Rick Warren borrowing from Hitler’s playbook to “change the world?”
politics, religion, video Add comments (4)In 2005 Reverend Rick Warren gave a speech to a stadium full of his followers where he describes his vision for the future:
“What is the the vision for the next 25 years? I’ll tell you what it is. It is the global expansion of the kingdom of God. It is the total mobilization of the church. And the third part is the dream of a radical devotion of every believer.”
Warren later goes on to compare this “radical devotion” to the that of the Hitler youth, and the followers of Lenin and Mao, and what they were almost able to accomplish. Warren then urges his followers to adopt a “what ever it takes” approach because only radicals “change the world.”
Listen to the clip below…
How does he want change the world? Create a global theocracy? Sounds suspiciously like Muslim fundamentalism (surprise). Scary stuff.

So, if this is true video, why in the world is it ONLY being covered on quieter blogs? Why isn’t KOS or any big News organizations covering this? It is NOT just the LGBT that this offends. How about any non Christians, pro choicers, emancipated persons (like women) etc. etc? What was Obama thinking? How do we process this? Those of us who worked our tushes off for a year to get him elected?

libhomo, thanks for the info. Would you mind citing the blogs? I can’t find them. I thank you for this. My whole family feels (as Hilary Rosen said) like we’ve been punched in the stomach. We are furious.

Sick.
Remember that the Crusades and the Inquisition started with the same sort of foaming at the mouth style of rhetoric. Those spiritual tyrants had personal aspirations of power and control, conveniently using God to intimidate the masses, just as their current counterparts do. Another reason never to mix religion and politics. Warren, Dobson, Robertson… these guys are dangerous.
Nothing is more frightening than a spiritual leader demanding unquestioned loyalty by claiming “God told me to”. No rational parent should willingly allow their child to be indoctrinated by this sort of thing.
