5. I will take photos and post them
There will be a protest on January 18th there too.

As a bonus, I get to tell my fundy freak dad that I am going to Saddleback Church.

2. Well, I would say take a page from Cenk, but that might be too vulgar to be effective.
You know, as in "Stick that donut where the sun don't shine!"

35. HeeHee - whenever we march in a protest or go as part of the PFLAG ..
contingent in the San Diego Pride - we always go use the bathroom in the Calvary Church (we always seem to be parked in the same spot, or end up in the same spot, temporarily). We figure it costs them money.

19. Wish I was closer, I would love to join you all.
I think it would be hilarious to have numerous people eat large portions of beans, eggs and cabbage and then go to
a big church like that. I bet the service would be real interesting...

23. You are so awesome and courageous, Kitchenwitch
I don't know that much about Saddleback. But I do remember my exploration into Christianity when i was really confused and depressed and now much the dogmatism disturbed me.

25. Saddleback Church is the mega church that Rick Warren is the pastor of.
Apparently none of the women that are employed by the church are allowed to be in supervisory postions...

That, and Rick Warren sent an email to all of his church members urging Yes votes on Proposition 8. He is bigot scum.

26. I agree with you. But you are awesome, KitchenWitch.
I wish I had one ounce of your courage.

On the other hand, you are so inspiring to me.

Thank you.

a needle's eye than a rich man to heaven.

31. My favorite is the long forgotten one in which Jesus tells people
to go into their closet to pray rather than making a public spectacle of their "piety."

34. I think that I'm going to join KW!
I was going to go, as is usually the case, to my Unitarian-Universalist service, but I'm going to ask the fam if it's o.k. if I go to the protest (it will take me about 2 hours to get there, but I'm ready to go)!

In Solidarity and Friendship,

Hi KW. :hi: How you been?

Can I join you guys on Sunday? (if I can somehow fit it into my schedule, I would love to.)

I live just down the street, about a mile and a half from the Warren empire, and it's been bugging the hell out of me - being so close to all that hatred and doing nothing about it.

(Evidently, I need to be a member of Facebook to get the details on Sunday's activities.)

41. Of course you can dA!
The protest is going on from 9 am to 9 pm (two hour shifts apparently). We will be near the corner of Portola and El Toro around 9 am - we are leaving around 1 PM.

40. If you can find it, an Andy Warhol inspired Campbell's Soup Can
would be great. If you can't, I understand, but if you could, it would be almost like I could be there with you. The right wingers are boycotting Campbell's Soup now for being supportive of us. Andy Warhol, I'm sure you know, did the artwork of the can. :D
