Rick Warren says that he is a moderate centrist. No, he's not. Whether or not he gave McCain an unfair advantage over Obama in preparing for the appearance at his pastorate, Saddleback Church, there is some indication of Pastor Warren's politics.
1. Rick Warren's theological and political beliefs are identical with those of far right wing televangelists by his own admission.
2. Rick Warren classified Obama's beliefs as "radical". This makes Pastor Warren to the right of Obama by definition.
3. Rick Warren dismissed the black church as Marxist. This would make the white church "Nazi" in contrast.
Jesus spoke of rendering unto Caesar which many interpret as calling for separation of church and state. He never spoke about school prayer or abortion. However, in the New Testament, Jesus spoke of stewardship of the land, helping the poor, healing the sick (health care in modern terms), visiting prisoners, persecution, righteousness, mercy, and making peace.
