Evangelical leaders say they are bewildered and stunned by the Rev. Rick Warren's apparent turnaround on gay marriage after the famous California pastor said earlier this week that he was not a proponent of California's Proposition 8.

I was telling my wife about this the other day and how this really turned my stomach a bit. I have defended Warren when i thought he was being unfairly attacked by those who felt he wasn't conservative enough, reformed enough, or anything enough...but now i think he has managed to turn me off.

I was one of those that was scorned for saying Warren is Laodecian and liberal....now, for a fact, we KNOW he is. He doesn't represent me in anything he does.

I hate to say it, but over the past few years I have been hearing of churches &/or pastors saying that homosexuality is okay. I think it is ridiculous how churches are changing. I have always been told the God is unchanging. If that is the case, then don't you think we as Christians should be unchanging too? The problem is that people are looking at homosexuals as a race or minority. The truth is they are not. I'm overweight. I don't consider myself as a minority.
A person can be born Asian, White, Hispanic, or Black. I don't believe that a person can be born as a homosexual. To say such a thing is to say that God makes mistakes. I believe that people choose to live that way. I'm fat, overweight, & out of shape. I wasn't born that way. It was my lack of exercise & poor eating habits that led me to this. I think that homosexuality is the same way. A person's circumstances can lead them to make a choice (or a series of choices) that leads them to that point. Its all psychological. -
