So now we’re going to have a month of debate about Rick Warren and what he stands for.

Warren has been described as the next Billy Graham, an evangelical leader with a moderate reputation and mass-market appeal — although instead of massive open-air rallies and an out-sized television presence, Warren focused on forging partnerships with unlikely allies working to protect the environment and fight AIDS.

As a pioneer of the mega-church movement, Warren looked to translate traditional evangelical messages for a wider audience. He penned “The Purpose-Driven Life,” a spiritually based self-help guide that brought mainstream best-seller status to a muted religious message.

Who cares?

This is the wrong debate.

Why is there even a religion invocation at the presidential inauguration?

Why did we have a debate at a mega church?

Why do we vote in churches?

America sure does argue a lot about mice nuts and not enough about the bigger concepts.
