Alan C replied to Richmond's discussion 'Rick Warren's son's suicide and church doctrine'"I think there is no way on this earth that Warren will ever 'snap out' of his delusion, he is in WAY too deep.

Gallup's Mirror replied to Richmond's discussion 'Rick Warren's son's suicide and church doctrine'"I think some of them are knowingly snake oil salesmen, and are bad men as a result.
