The whole bird...
The S.H.A.P.E. of things to come...
¶ 11:13 AM 
Rick Warren declares, “I’m not rightwing or leftwing, I’m the whole bird!”
No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Matt. 6:24
Mammon, in the Greek, has its root meaning in, what is opposed to God. In other words, you can’t serve both God and that which is opposed to God at the same time.
Rick Warren seems to think he can. So perhaps he’s not just a dirty bird.
Birds are often associated with evil or uncleaness in scripture, yet here, we may be seeing more than the whole crow. How about a dog? Jesus was less than tolerant of those who were cloaked in the self righteous speak of his day, so what makes Warren and his defenders think Yeshua will excuse them as they bond to evil in the name of charity, mercy and tolerance?
Isa 56:11 Yea, [they are] greedy dogs [which] can never have enough, and they [are] shepherds [that] cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Phl 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Rev 22:15 For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
