Here’s the footage you asked for. I thought I had posted all of this previous but I can’t find it. We didn’t come over here until mid-December and somethings imported – some didn’t.

12-15-2008 Pastor Rick Warren interview with Steven Waldman, editor in chief of Beliefnet.
WARREN: The issue to me, I’m not opposed to that [some partnership rights] as much as I’m opposed to redefinition of a 5,000 year definition of marriage.
I’m opposed to having a brother and sister being together and calling that marriage.
I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that marriage.
I’m opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.
BELIEFNET: Do you think those are equivalent to gays getting married?WARREN: Oh , I do. For 5,000 years, marriage has been defined by every single culture and every single religion – this is not a Christian issue. Buddhist, Muslims, Jews – historically, marriage is a man and a woman.
Notice that he says a man and a woman – not one man and one woman thereby leaving out Mormonism.
One can assume he meant that incest, pedophilia, polygamy and same-sex marriage are the same. Or that incest, pedophilia, polygamy and same-sex marriage are the same in that it is not marriage between one man and one woman.
I also remember him comparing it to pizza. Seriously. Something like just because he likes pizza doesn’t mean he should marry it.
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren
They can’t accuse me of homophobia. I just don’t believe in gay marriage.
