This is an interesting claim, given that there are religions, e.g. Islam, that even now accept polygamy, and many countries in which it is legal. Moreover, even the Biblical patriarchs were said to have had multiple wives, and some kings of Israel not only had multiple wives, but also concubines. And they all supposedly lived less than 5,000 years ago.

Time for the verifiably untrue statements spewing regularly from Warren and/or his advisors to stop.

I suppose we hear what we want, but the fact is that Rick did not partake in the campaign for Proposition 8, and did not contribute to it financially. He also did not appear on any of the committee’s endorsement lists.

What he said is he believed that marriage is between a man and a woman, and he shared that with his congregation. Yes, he did believe Prop 8, in its exact statement, is correct, and he supports the definition of marriage being between a man and woman. That is one viewpoint, and as a pastor he has a right to share tha with his congregation. However, that is vastly different then actively being a part of the campaign.

Finally, many of us knew he was simply giving 3 examples of what he did not consider a marriage. All three were actually in the news cycle at the time. That does not make them equal, or related. Most of us saw the point !
