(Or, maybe it should be titled, I was going to write about one thing, but on the drive into work someone pissed me off and now I have to write about THAT. )

Rick Warren is an asshole. A slimy, ignorant, homophobic, misogynistic asshole. And THAT my friends, is quite a combination. Don’t know who Rick Warren is? Here’s the link to his Wikipedia page, which is pretty fair and benign. Until you get to political and social views. And then all you can think is- This guy is an effing tool!¹

Here are some of this highlights² -

• Thinks being gay is a ‘dangerous’ sin (yeah, because gays are certainly known for their violent temper)
• Thinks women in abusive relationships SHOULD STAY IN THEM. Why, you ask? BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAID SO
• Thinks Jews will realize that Jesus is God, and be ‘saved’

another gem…

• You’ll lose ‘rewards’ in heaven if you commit suicide.

WHAT? Is getting to heaven like having a Miles Card?

“Sorry because you committed suicide, you lose your Platinum Member for Eternity Status, so no gold house for you. But we do have a nice silver one. Yes, we know that you committed suicide because you were beat by your closeted gay husband twice a day- but rules are rules! Look at this way, at least you’re not Jewish, then you’d be IN REAL TROUBLE. Hoo boy, those motherfuckers aren’t even SAVED. Where do you think they are going? hmmmm?”

So, I was less than pleased when someone retweeted some of his vile garbage, about marriage. (And yeah, Rick Warren is on twitter, and yeah, people follow him, and no, I DON’T know why).

This was my response (The first part is HIS message, my comes after the >, just so you know):

RT @RickWarren Marriages that work take work.The grass isnt greener on the other side of the fence. It’s greener wherever you water it! >STFU³

and I followed it up with:

Yeah, you put that homophobic tool @rickwarren in my feed you get a STFU. #dontgetmestarted

If you’re on twitter today, make sure you tell Rick I said Hi- in my own special way, of course.

(For this post, I had to break out my ‘Stupid’ and my ‘I Hate You’ tag. A rare combination, even for me.)
