Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
I've been mulling over the Pastor Rick Warren brouhaha. Why does it bother me? Well, in case you missed it, here's an excellent explanation by Rob Boston of Americans United for Separation of Church and State on Countdown last night.
I love what Melissa at Shakesville has to say about it. (h/t Quaker Dave) I especially love what she says about expansion of rights versus the limitation of rights. This has always been the difference between liberalism and conservatism in my view. Because susan-brightside is absolutely correct in the comments on this post. We need to get this separation of church and state thing right. Now.

(And thanks!)
I know that this is days later and you have much more important things on your mind...
That said, I had to speak up and say that I find this choice reprehensible and I say that as a very dedicated Christian.
I am all for inclusion and even including Warren in something - but not this role at this time. That seems wrong at far too many levels.
Rob Boston was great.
