And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"</i> (II Cor. 6:14-15). Read this depressing report: http://www.africanveil.org/uganda071.htm

The guy thinks everyone should be Christian. According to Christian theology, if you don't believe Jesus is the son of God, you go to hell. Muslims don't believe that. So, even if he wants to convert every Muslim he works with, he still doesn't believe that there should be any Muslims at all, because they're wrong. From experience, it's tough to keep two groups of people together on a purpose when they both are utterly convinced that the other is entirely wrong.

I don't think so... Power and greed do not need God's approval to cause wars. Rationalism can and does justify them.

He believes Muslims are going to hell since they reject Jesus, but he wants their help to solve the world's problems. And to top it off, his message was completely misunderstood by the audience as seen in the quote above. The Muslim woman took Warren's message to be saying Christianity and Islam are basically the same. This is not what Rick Warren believes. Note Reginald Selkirk's quote from Warren above to see what he really thinks about the Muslim faith. The post is to point out how ridiculous Rick Warren’s speech is.

There are 3 things that start wars. Greed, power and religion. Take your pick, but typically the power and greed is justified by a god. They are justified in their violent actions because it is their "god's will". <b>Exhibit A:</b> <blockquote>I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. <b>- Adolf Hitler</b>, <i>Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2</i></blockquote> Paul M–

What is the over-arching point of this post? I don't get it. It's pretty disjointed. Looking at your post so far I see Warren saying that the two should work together, not that they are the same.

Counter-assertion: Wars are caused by rationalism - as in "our national interest/freedom is at stake". Just when was it: "our religion is at stake." Yeah, ignore it.

Just when was it: “our religion is at stake.”
