Rick Warren Wants A Waiver to Discriminate but Receive Federal funds

++After Judge Alito invented a law out of whole cloth,14 religious leaders,including Rich Warren, petitioned the Obama Administration for a "religious"waiver on his executive order to end LBGT discrimination by federal contractors. 

++Now, let's follow this logic--you are a religious organization receiving federal government funds through contracts. Now you petition the government for the right to discriminate because this is a religious belief. Why not a Southern Baptist petitioning to discriminate against blacks? And, by the way, how are you going to determine whether a woman is a lesbian or a man gay? 

++TPM and Andrew Sullivan go into this issue today. Unfortunately,the Obama people involved in faith-based initiatives have publicly said that the religious exemption demand is an issue that needs to be addressed.

++In the stone age, Pat Robertson warned Christian churches about taking federal funds because of the demands which would be placed on them to bring them up to the legal code. Now the churches want both federal funds and the ability to discriminate. What happened to "Hate the sin, love the sinner". I guess you just "hate the sinner" and take the cash.
