The story of Saddleback Church’s Rick Warren self-made rise from small town preacher to zillionaire pastor is certainly inspiring.

What’s not inspiring, however, is what the Pastor now preaches.

As this Slate.com article points out,  if Rick Warren had listened to his own sermons, he’d still be presiding over his little high school church club.

“There are those who come up with an innovative idea, develop the skills necessary to realize it, and use every bit of their creative capacity to make it succeed. Then there are those who believe that human beings have no power to change the world but are mere pawns directed by a supernatural force whose decisions are arbitrary and inscrutable. Finally, there are rarities like Rick Warren who fit into both categories at the same time.”
