As someone who lives in Hong Kong and is no stranger to the colonialist attitudes that are still prevalent here (where foreigners get more pay for the same job than a local Chinese would), I do feel upset about the cavalier attitude shown on Warren's part when he was asked to recant his joke. Chinese people do have thinking minds too. I certainly don't feel respected by Warren. <br /><br />I also feel great consternation at the arrival of Saddleback in our city. We need to be much more discerning about who we're cheering for. By plowing ahead with his plans to plant a church here and not delaying it on account of this gaff, I feel like Warren is still hoping for a great turnout when his franchise comes to town. Are we really so much of a tool that someone can insult us and still expect people to come to his church? We need to carefully discern who's leading the revolution.

Certainly something to consider...<br /><br />It's still possible that Rev Warren honestly thought of his post as a sort of joke... one that plays on something he preaches, particularly for his followers... although none of his defenders ever implied such knowledge (or his use of such analogy)...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14166377368913292425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911844312161988702.post-77730920452905154502013-09-24T13:36:36.820-07:002013-09-24T13:36:36.820-07:00My friend, the revolution to which you refer kille...My friend, the revolution to which you refer killed millions.
