Rick Warren- Daniel Willner

Today we went to President Barack Obama's Inauguration! It was really amazing but at the same time I was slightly disappointed. Even though I knew that Rick Warren would be saying the opening prayer, having to actually listen to him was extremely frustrating. Warren spoke about the importance about equal rights for all, but he is a hypocritical bigot. If he really believes in equal rights for all then why does he not allow homosexuals into his church (his website for Saddleback Church says they do not accept homosexuals into their church if they don't change their life-style)? Unfortunately Rick Warren set the tone for the rest of the inauguration and left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth. Although today was historic and incredible, Rick Warren showed me how hypocritical religion and this country can be, at times when we are looking for change from our leaders.

Comment: Amen, Sista!

Twelve Sonoma State University students and some community members are getting a first-hand look at President-elect Obama's inauguration. They're in DC from Jan. 10-20 and are blogging daily on what they are seeing. Watch for their posts, photos and videos from various inaugural events. The trip is part of an intersession course at Sonoma State. Prof. David McCuan is leading the class.
