Perhaps it's because a large percentage of those who read this blog are from the "Religious Right", but on the two occasions I've written about Rick Warren (Rick Warren: A False Prophet? and A Stumbling Block) I've gotten quite a response. So you can imagine my glee upon finding yet more to write about Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life.
Challies.com, We Put The Fun in Fundamentalism, posts about Rick Warren's endless shilling on pastors.com, "He seems to resource them by strongarming them into purchasing endless amounts of his sermons, his books and so on".
The post goes on to describe an email pitch from Mr. Warren...
The article Warren wrote to describe this program is really quite funny. It reminds me of some of the spam that infiltrates my mailbox every day. He continually alternates between standard text and bold. When he's really excited he does bold italics.
It reminds me of a monster truck rally. "God is sending revivial, revival, revival! Join my conference call or you'll miss, miss, miss out, out, out!"
The post over at Challies.com is really funny. Maybe Rick Warren won't think it's that funny but I do. Go read it, Are...You...Ready, Ready, READY?!?
