While many evangelical leaders have blasted President Obama's executive order lifting the ban on federal funding for stem cell research, Rev. Rick Warren will not be: I've asked Warren's communications people whether the reverend has any comment on the stem cell order, and spokeswoman Kristin Cole said he will not be issuing a public statement on it. Cole said in a brief phone conversation that Warren typically avoids making public statements on political matters.

why ask rick warren? the only reason i can think of is, you KNOW what his response will be and you're just trying to start some trouble or something.

and do you really have to ASK to know what warren's opinion will be? this is a man who believes in talking snakes, who equates gays with pedophiles, and who equates abortion to the "holocaust". is there really any doubt as to where he stands on stem cells?

and if you really wanted to know, if you were still unclear on where he stood, you could just google "rick warren and stem cells" and see what his position is. it's not like its a mystery...

I dunno...why not, instead of asking a preacher who has no idea about the scientific merits of this policy, you instead ask some SCIENTISTS about their opinions on the matter? they would at least have an informed opinion. but then, you wouldn't get your trouble-making quote and get to write that screaming headline about how the President has alienated evangelicals by following up on something he promised he'd do if he were elected.
