Pastor Warren: Stop Politicizing Religion

By Star Parker of World Net Daily
Now we’re seeing a world in which clarity between good and evil, right and wrong, knowledge and ignorance, men and women is disappearing into a borderless and indistinguishable gray.

For whatever good intentions Pastor Warren may have, by posturing as a neutral broker between different points of view, many of which have profound moral and religious implications, he contributes to the moral ambiguity we’d expect a pastor to be combating.

We have institutions for civic and political forums. The press, universities, town halls, etc. If they’re not delivering well, let the marketplace work to improve what we’re getting. But this is not the job of pastors or churches. If it is, where do we go to learn about good and evil?

What exactly is going on in America when our obsession is to cleanse every inch of public space from religion, yet somehow we think it is appropriate to bring a presidential political forum into church?

Editor’s note: Star Parker hits the nail on the head. Doesn’t the Purpose Driven church growth franchise model also “posture” the role of a pastor “as a neutral broker between different points of view ( the “unchurched” and the “churched” ), many of which have profound moral and religious implications, he contributes to the moral ambiguity we’d expect a pastor to be combating?”
