OUT LOUD

NewsJim White  |  March 16, 2012

“As a Christian leader, Dr. Warren believes Christ-followers are commanded to love and respect everyone. He also believes in the common good and that those who may not agree on everything can still work together.”
A. Larry Ross
The media representative for Saddleback Church was writing a commentary in the Orange County Register about megachurch leader Rick Warren’s outreach to Muslims.

“The Genesis 8:22 that I use in there is that ‘as long as the earth remains there will be seed time and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.’ My point is, God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what he is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.”
Sen. James Inhofe
The Oklahoma Republican was speaking to a talk radio show about the biblical roots of his opposing the idea of climate change.

“I’ve never used marijuana and I don’t intend to, but it’s just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasn’t succeeded.”
Pat Robertson
The evangelical broadcaster was talking to the New York Times about why pot should be legalized.
