Why does being earth-friendly require sacrifice? I do good things all the time for the planet but it does not mean we sacrifice. Just as we do good deeds for animals but do not condone them getting lawyers to sue humans on their behalf or to be granted sentient status by some progressive judge. Christianty could be described as having evolved from the animal sacrifice of Abel to the new Covenent and treat thy neighbor as thyself. Warmingism then, is akin to a throwback religion that still requires sacrifice.

Earth hour is a chance for greenies to show themselves how devout they are but it really doesn’t mean anything.

I suspect my normal carbon footprint is much smaller than most of theirs on a normal day.

There’s a reason I haven’t taken the Christmas lights down.

I don’t think they really know what sacrifice is anyway. They just want to feel “special”.

Thats funny.

Just remember every }in-cool{ thing that the socialist/left comes up with was originally already set by Christians/Biblical.

They just use our wordage and put there on backwards meaning to it.

Social Justice/Earth Stewards ect...have no correlation from the Christian meaning and the socialist/Godless meaning.

Old trick of the jealous Fallen one.

As I heard it described (example) the other day God when asked who is he...I am who I am.
When Satan is asked the same question who is he...I am who I am not.

Hope I didnt mess it up I watched the Catholic program twice to try and get it right. : )

If it is at 8:30 EDT what time are they going to do it on the Left Coast?

KV got a kick out of your idea as so did I.
So we are going to join you.

Of course we live in a rural area and have very few other neighbors but it would be fun and give us a good laugh.

Is somebody going to take a picture of the Earth Black out? Are just private homes doing this?

Cuz it would be cool if it was a complete black out except for Conservatives Lighting up and a satalite pic was taken.

And for you still have your Christmas lights up freepers here is a bit of history.

When God was banned (I cant remember if it was under Lenin or some other Marxist guy Govt) in this certain country (I cant remember) The Catholics would put a single burning light in the window as a signal to any Priest passing by to stop in for Mass/Holy Eucharist...
Hence Christmas Lights.

Ugh I dont drink coffee but it was rainy/cold and I had to be out in it so I stopped at Dutch Bros and got a Quad Shot Esspresso Coconut Coffee...that was nine hours ago and I have not shut up. LOL....
I dont know how you coffee people do it and sleep at night.

Turn on all your lights and appliances, idle your vehicle, and pop off a few rounds for good measure.

I’m going to turn on every light. Don’t forget to open the fridge and the freezer so those little lights are on too.

Have you noticed the INDOCTRINATION of “earth religion” to school children?

TV adds [I watch TV online] are blatantly “earth religion.”

What happened to those ACLU lawyers trying to keep religion out of schools? Oh, yeah, that was CHRISTIAN or JEWISH religions. Izlam and Earth religions are okay.

I turn on everything in my house, run my car, burn if I can. I might even take time to answer the 1 Constitutional Question on my Census Form.

there will be very little sacrifice. most of these people will turn off their lights, then go into town so they don’t have to sacrifice.

EARTH FIRST!

We’ll strip-mine the other planets later.

(Pandora, we’ll be back. And we’ll nuke you from orbit before we start mining...)
