I sent Obama’s people an email suggesting that they could offer prayer napkins blessed by Rick’s church. I thought $25 would be a reasonable donation for that. I don’t know though; what would an evangelical person donate for an Obama napkin invocated and blessed by Rick Warren?

I just had this thought: Maybe Jerry Falwell could sneeze up from middle earth and plop some of his santorum on the napkin. Wait…I am on to something…maybe have TWO napkins…

OMG, I have a second thought: Texan preachers lately are selling all kinds of napkins. Lets call Texas and get the whole crowd there.

Obama, Obama, Obama, What aileth thee to make such an irrational decision?

A few other choices:

Tono Compolo: liberal evangelical. Thinks gays should be celibate but if not then they should be monogamous (it may be sin, but it’s better socially) though he opposes marriage.

Albert Mohler: I’m putting an extreme choice here to make my point. Mohler is a dedicated anti-gay activist. He writes regularly in opposition to gay equality. But I don’t think Mohler has ever equated gay couples to pedophiles, polygamists, or the incestuous.

Just how friggin hard is it to find someone – even someone religiously conservative – who hasn’t spouted insanely offensive homophobia in the past six months? REALLY

Warren is a wise political choice.The more that people see and hear obama the more comfortable they become with him.By choosing warren he will be getting a much larger audience than if he had just picked a typical liberal preacher.It is those people we need to reach many of whom probable didnt and dont want a black man in the whitehouse,never mind the bigotry against gays.Is everything always about you?

It seems it is not useful to contact Feinstein unless you live in California. Here is the automated response I just received to my email I sent as a Florida resident. I assume this means not only do I not get a response to my email, but it is not even read by anyone because it did not contain a California address…anyone care to loan me your address. hahahaha!

Thank you for sending me your electronic mail message. I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

Because of the volume of e-mail that is received by my office, we can only respond to email that includes a California postal address. Please resend the text of your e-mail message, including your postal address, and I will respond to you as soon as possible.

Timothy, I like your idea that Obama select someone from his own United Church of Christ for the invocation. I think Dr. Jo Hudson, the Pastor of the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas, would be a great pick. She is very cordial and is the only woman pastor of a congregation in that part of Texas. The church is the largest gay congregation in the world and I believe the third or fourth largest in the entire United Church of Christ denomination. See http://www.cathedralofhope.com for more on her.

And there is the problem of creating another Billy Graham, boosting a national figure who will trade on the relationship on a national media scale. Many of us of a quieter, less showy, faith in this country are tired of seeing the media preachers given more media by the government.
