'Holy Greta!': 'Climate Religion' Skewered as Thunberg Gets Honorary Doctorate in Theology
The award has triggered a powerful backlash among Thunberg's compatriots on social media, some of whom point to it as proof that environmentalism is a religion, whereas others argued that it debases the honorary doctorate as such.
The theological faculty at the University of Helsinki has decided to elevate eco-activist Greta Thunberg to an honorary doctor.
The higher educational institution has voiced plans to lionize 30 "highly meritorious people from around the world" by granting them honorary doctorate degrees in 2023, which it dubbed the "jubilee year of the promotion."

The last time I checked, there is no mother nature or mother earth, but only Father God, who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay for our sins and so we can be reconciled with Father God Himself! If you want to go to Heaven when you die, Jesus Christ is the only way!

This Doctor of Theology award to Greta Thunberg really bothers me. Based on her brilliant scientific work, she should have gotten actual doctorates in both physics and chemistry. This honorary theology thing really is a slap in the face
Oops. I think I might have made an error there. Should I have said “Dr. Greta” instead of just “Greta”?

others argued that it debases the honorary doctorate as such. Bill Cosby had received 72 Honorary Degrees. And he's not alone.
I'd say that honorary degrees of every kind have long since been debased.

Time for another Lutheran ping!
However, Greta is no Lutheran, no Orthodox, and no Christian! And her “doctorate” is fake! Pray for her salvation—and for her sanity!!!!

Can you imagine the fantasy bubble of world greatness and profundity she must live in?
I wonder if her feet ever touch the ground, she is like a living reincarnation of the Disney version of Mahatma Gandhi.
I wonder if butterflies and songbirds flutter around her as she floats through life sharing her insights.

Many universities grant an honorary degree to anyone who gives a commencement speech. They don’t mean anything, and mostly never have.
