Pastor Rick tells Ann Curry he'd like to have sex with every beautiful woman he sees, but he curbs that natural impulse because he's mature and has learned to delay gratification.
Notice how Pastor Rick™ not-very-cleverly avoids the question about how he'd respond to a finding that homosexuality was innate biologically. He quickly starts up talking about promiscuity -- that of "many gay friends" he counsels not to have multiple sex partners as well as his own well-curbed appetite for every beautiful woman who comes into view.
Do you agree that Pastor Rick™ has a twinkle in his eye when he talks to the lovely Ann Curry about his struggles with his own promiscuity?
This is the smarmy sex-obsessed preacher Barack Obama wants to invoke the Lord's grace on his Inauguration? Give me a break. He's no different than any other crazed anti-gay bigot on the right, horrified but titillated by the opportunity to talk about sex with a pretty lady.

Is it just me, or did Ann look like she was deciding whether to run away when he said he wanted to have sex with every pretty woman he sees?
Delay gratification..WTF does that mean? He gets a hard on courtesy of every beautiful woman he sees and takes it home to wifie? Gee..how did we all live so long without knowing that he only finds beautiful women sexually attractive? And why do we need to know that now?
“It doesn’t matter if it is biological”. Here it is in his own words..he has decided that what God created is up to him to condemn and judge. How do wingnuts like him get a national platform?
Poor Ann..she had to sit there and be subjected to sexual fantasy comments from a sleeze bag. Give her a raise. A big one.
It seems that those that try to control other people’s sex lifes always have problems with their own.
His body language is interesting. He twiddles his thumbs and doesn’t maintain eye contact. Hmm..he knows he is spouting well rehearsed lines of propaganda, perhaps?
Somebody find Jimmy Carter’s Playboy interview, quick!
Oh, that would be me.
brb
Excerpt of Jimmy Carter Playboy interview, September 1976 - for which he was mercilessly vilified.
Oh that Jimmy Carter, always quoting Christ. *g*
I’d sure like to hear Jimmy debate Pastor Rick™! Somehow, “consider yourself better than someone else” seems to be at the core of Pastor Rick™’s “theology.”
There was a two second reaction that showed in her raised eyebrows. I’d like to know what went through her mind. With the slight nod she gave..I think she might have been thinking..gross..but I have to continue this interview with this pervert.
She is a very pretty woman, so she knew he was alluding to thinking thoughts of having sex with her. Ann showed class under pressure; Warren has none. She was briefly in the ‘fight or flight’ state. Poor lady, she was trapped. He says that he has many gay friends. No he does not. You are a friend to no one when you discriminate against them.
Since when is shyness and fear biological?
I’m afraid the fundies left their Jeebus out tending their Towncars in the parking lot, while they attend their snake-handling ceremonies inside, where it’s warm. The Old Testament is all they know.
“Jeebus who?”
EEEwwwww! And just what does he do once the ‘delay’ is over?
Nevermind! I really don’t want to know.
DIGG IT! and don’t forget to comment on Digg! - it counts as another Digg! And then thumbs-up rate any other comments. Counts as another Digg! for each one!!!
Isn’t that the truth. They keep spouting all the selectively careful Old Testament crap and forget that there is a New Testament with a slightly different message.
Love one another. Especially your enemies.
Judge not.
Do unto the least of these and you do unto me.
Yeah, that stuff.
The thumb twiddling is creepy. Try it yourself: he’s controlling his physical responses with the twiddling. And slowing his thought processes down.
And he’s making shit up as he goes. I don’t know what the stuff about shyness and fear has to do with any of this. And you can no more ’fight’ some shyness and fear than you can sexual orientation.
Project extreme promiscuity onto his gay ’friends’ much? Yup. Alot.
Keep talking Pastor Rick, everyone’s watching. Closely. He’s been hiding in plain sight and that’s over now.
Whoa: what he’s also saying is that ’fighting’ homosexuality is just like fighting shyness and fear. And it’s actually cruel to say any of that.
And it’s ok for him to have these rampant promiscuous feelings because he’s heterosexual.
He sure does think he’s in charge of everyone and everything. Does he ever say anything remotely humble or gracious?
What the hell was that?!?
Dude’s less insightful than I thought. Wow, just wow. What a stupid answer. Even as someone who wavers from agnostic to atheist, I’ve seen some evangelicals speak that really made me question me beliefs. This guy doesn’t at all. If Obama wanted an evangelical, there are so many more that would’ve been great speakers. It must be because this guy has the audience size Obama’s looking for.
And speaking of size, Warren better find a stairmaster soon or he’ll be meeting his Master sooner than he thinks. Yeesh.
I’m so tired of idiots trying to enact laws based on their opinions. Why should his opinion be any more important than mine? Is his opinion so important that people are to be denied civil rights based on it. Good grief!
Ugh..the visual..the visual.
Equating promiscuity with homosexuality is a “bias” just like believing that woman can’t drive and that black people eat watermelon.
He’s playing into one of the stereotypes of gay people. That they have promiscuous sex in bathrooms, and sex shops. That they are sex addicts.
Of course as a therapist I separate the issues. There are straight sex addicts and gay sex addicts. One of my sex addict clients who is also gay, has tried to argue with me that all gay people are promiscuous. He knows that is just a rationalization. Those of us who love gay people in our lives (children, sisters, brothers, parents,…) no that this stereotype is not accurate.
Sex addiction happens to both straights and gays, and is often terribly destructive to healthy intimate relationships.
I can’t believe my typos sometimes…”no” replace with “know”.
He is selling this bigoted stereotype with no license. He is making shit up.
Like Diaper Vitter, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, or the thousands of others, when Rick Warren gets caught in a sex scandal, he will do what they all do. First he will lie and deny it. Then, he will confess that he is a sinner. He will recant. He will promise not to do it anymore (but can I please keep my million dollar position or something similar?).
This is why society needs to move away from this archaic thinking. It is crap. Consenting adults should do whatever they damn well please. We usually do. We just lie about it when we get caught.
