Another Troubling Climate Article

Just seems somewhat strange to me that religious folks aren't up in arms trying to protect what they believe to be god's creation.

Funny,I never see God tapping.

I pray that the Holy Spirit finds you and changes your heart.

I think the principle is that a) we are God's highest creation, given dominion over the earth and sea, so ipso fatso, NOTHING we do to the earth we're dominating is offensive in god's eyes.

What God thinks of this no one can know. Oddly, the fact that as soon as we STOP mucking up a place, it tries to repair itself, is not indicative of what god thinks.

Also, God needs money.

You're generalizing a couple of the Christians in this thread to all "religious folks". Many in this thread may have deeply held religious beliefs, but don't feel the need to bring them into this discussion. At any rate, there actually are many Christian organizations that are working hard to fight for the environment, and against climate change. They put it just like you do - it's their sacred obligation to do so, and it's going against God's will to desecrate the Earth for our own enrichment.

But I am not in their camp. The fact is that religion has always been both a salve and a cudgel; people seem to find in it whatever they need, sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad.

There's also those who would claim that what we're doing is all part of God's plan. Now I don't know about you, but that seems mighty presumptuous (I don't know the mind of God, do you?) Okay, so in the end, that just leaves us, and what we do with this earth. Leave God and what he might or might not "want" us to do out of it.

Okay, now that it's just us - can we agree to try to leave this world the best we can for our kids and grandkids? Isn't that motivation enough? Because I think it's safe to say that we're not living up to the best we can do right now. The impact on sugar maples may be myopic, but it's as good a place to start as any.

Cheers,

Scm, you have been gone for awhile. You will never be able to convince many of the posters on this thread, they have already demonstrated that they do not believe. You can have hardcore facts and evidence and they don't get it. They are SHEEPLE!!, that will follow the herd until its too late. They will be, the first ones on the FEMA bus.

The main reason they think they have control of the climate is because of their belief in themselves, they do not believe in God. They do not believe in the Bible, or what God's Word has to say. If you read the Bible, many people did not believe that Jesus was God when he was hanging on the cross for our sins. They taunted him, spit on him, mocked him and told him to come down from the cross if he truly was the Son of God. These people too, didn't get it.

Even he has fallen victim to the (agenda 21) brainwashing.
