This guy's ambition is only matched by Sarah Palin's delusion. Between her 2012 PAC and Blago's TV blagorrhea, they've got a real Bonnie and Clyde media blitz going. But their combined hubris doesn't even touch Warren's. First he put the candidates through his Purpose Driven litmus test, then he played the inauguration, blond hair dye and all. Now he's got a magazine. Grab a copy from your local newsstand for total life advice from America's most well-fed holy man.

Christopher Hitchens may be a portentious boozehound, but he hit the nail on the head when he said "There's nothing you can't get away with in this country if you can get yourself called "Reverend"."

(I guess "Pastor" counts.)

Religion in America is this enormous group shell game where everybody claims total confidence in ideas that simply do not hold up to rational scrutiny, but get petulant and mean when you point out how baseless their Bronze Age notions are.

So as long as we atheists and agnostics (not to mention non-Christian believers) shut up, the rest of the country can preen itself and brag about how America is a "Christian nation". But (you'll pardon the phrase) God forbid we merely expose the hypocrisy and perfidy of people like Warren and Ted Haggard.

Religion breeds hypocrisy, self-delusion and wishful thinking. Our Founding Fathers would not have recognized America today.

I invite all believers to read the transcripts of Jan. 20's invocation, benediction, etc. All the prayers said on Inauguration Day were nothing more than the primitive entreaties of slaves begging their master to whip them with just a little less force than usual. "Oh, God, without you we are nothing, all good things are because of you..." It's grotesque. Every advance ever made by the American people was made in the face of religion, not because of it.

"Religion breeds hypocrisy, self-delusion and wishful thinking."

Don't forget fear, subjugation, and bigotry.

"Do as you're told or spend eternity burning in hell!"
"Commit all your energy to ignorant devotion to complete irrationality!"
"Those who do not agree with us are damned, and must be punished!"
