Bowser, I understand the sentiments but I have to tell you that one preacher or another, they're all equally disturbing to me to be linked to a governmental activity. If he had the ability to choose Martin Luther King for his invocation, I would still be uncomfortable with the selection.
If the governmental leaders want to have their religious moment before and after official public functions, let them do it in private.
People are upset with Warren because he seems to hold no tolerance for certain groups of people and wishes to deny them their full rights. All true. However, in this country someone without faith has not a chance in hell of ever holding major public office and you find me one pastor or preacher that would stand up and raise the BS flag on that standard.
Now I'm an ordained minister (I have my online certificate and can actually marry people in my state). I've been waiting patiently for my invitation to speak at the inaugural event. I can assure them my address would be memorable.
