You know, I’m trying to stay out of this Rick Warren business a bit because I understand and even sympathize with the need to bridge the gap between evil lib’rulz and conservative evangelicals, find some common ground, etc. But then I see krep like this and it just p*sses me off:

Today, NBC’s Ann Curry aired a new portion of her recent interview with pastor Rick Warren, whom President-elect Obama selected to deliver the invocation at his inauguration. During the interview, Warren said that “it doesn’t matter” whether or not homosexuality is “part of your biology”; it’s still wrong. Attempting to explain himself, he compared accepting one’s homosexuality to being “naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see.” Resisting homosexuality is about “maturity,” he concluded:

CURRY: If science finds that this is biological, indisputably…would you change your position?

WARREN: No. … We all have biological predispositions. … You say because I have natural impulses to the same sex, I shouldn’t have to reign them in. Well I disagree. I think that’s part of maturity, I think that’s part of delayed gratification, I think that’s part of character.

You know, WTF is he saying here? Is this what evangelicals really think - that, sure, even if TEH GAY is genetic, queers should just celibate and that’ll solve the problem?

That even if people are gay, and it’s genetic - they can only show “character” and “maturity” by never having sex ever? They have to “delay gratification” forever, something conservative evangelicals themselves could probably never do?

Good lord. These people are more detached from reality than I thought.
