Rick Warren, on the Twitter Machine:
Yay, they’ve convinced 40,127 starving, homeless people to pray a special prayer!
Now, um, how about their actual needs?
And no, this is not about religious belief, this is about priorities. However much time it took to give 40,127 starving, homeless people the religion spiel and close the deal so that they’d utter the magic words for salvation, could have been spent better with a hammer and a freakin’ nail.
As TS said, in a post titled “Why They Hate Us”:
For a guy whose book begins “It’s not about you,” why is it always about him?
Uh, because he’s an egomaniac.

Well you know prayer is the the best thing for disaster victims who have no homes, food, potable water or medical care. If you want to be really helpful you send them audio Bibles.

Typical of Evangelist and Fundamentalist types. Talk is cheap and easy, no real sacrifice required. My paternal grandfather was a Fundamental Methodist minister. I’m not sure I EVER saw the man break a sweat. Lots of talk about how every one else should lead their lives but no attention to his own. It’s all about ego, “Look how wonderful I am, I crammed the word of God down the heathens’ throat!”

Megalo-egomaniac I think is the correct term. It’s a medical condition, unfortunately not usually terminal. Not soon enough in most cases.
Also, grotesque. Butter running down my chin while I eat type of grotesque. And not in a good way.
I only hope that The Starvin’ People didn’t see his face all over a poster. That would have been salt in their wound.
I’m going away to stab another pin into my Rick doll.
