COVID has Replaced Climate Change as the Religion of the Left
American Thinker ^ | 4 Oct, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph

Religion is a belief system based on a combination of logic and faith, mostly beyond the realm of what can be proven scientifically. A dictionary definition is, “Religion is belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as a church or temple.”

Or in simpler terms, religion can create order and meaning in a random and chaotic world. Religion is also strongly held and deeply personal, not something tossed aside based on the words of a government, politician, or celebrity.

For many, politics has become religion, and as a centuries-old etiquette rule advises, “Never discuss politics or religion in polite company.” Unfortunately, today, science has now become political and entered the realm of religion.

For decades, communism was the primary religion of the left. The fall of the Soviet Union and socioeconomic failures of Cuba, Venezuela, and other communist dictatorships steered the left toward a new god, mother earth or simply the environment. This religion morphed from global cooling in the 1970s to global warming a decade later, now to climate change or extreme weather -- normal cyclic events that have been a part of life on Planet Earth since long before humans existed.

While climate change has been the excuse for massive tax and spend schemes of wealth redistribution and top-down population control, the movement was stalling as the fear mongering became less credible to much of the population. Time for replacing an environmental god with a deadly virus, whose treatment and control may achieve what global warming and climate change could not. The left treats both climate and COVID with the religious fervor of jihad.

Communism and jihad are incompatible with a free society. I oppose both as much as I could possibly oppose anything.

I’d call it a cult more than a religion. Either way it’s nasty.

And some on the right, sadly including some people on here.

No it hasn’t. Augmented not replaced.

Climate change has been occurring since the beginning of time. You can make all the charts you want...and do all the research you want....

The truth is....no one knows what the temperature of the earth should be at any point in time.

To say that it should be what it was just before the industrial revolution is an absurdity.

Let's say instead that the ice age should be the true temperature of the earth and that volcanoes abounded and cooled the earth. In other words, they have picked an arbitrary point in time...and played us with this "man made" global warming crap.

Don’t worry as soon as the Rats get slaughtered next November, largely for losing control of the Covid hoax and resulting economy damage, the Covidians will be put back in the closet and re-emerge as the Clate Changeans.

The mask is their burka.

The jab is their communion.

And, since the beginning, abortion is their sacrifice.

Wrong. COVID is a subset of the same religion that Climate Change occupies. Collectivism is the religion. The death of the self is the virtue.

They haven't given up on climate change. There's some big stuff along those lines in the infrastructure bill.

But for drumming up hysteria, covid has been more widely successful.

Talking to this young guy the other day and he tells me he’s a socialist. I told him “We used to HUNT people like you. And we’ll gladly do it again.”

Just another key tenet added. They certainly haven’t scrapped global warming (although they occasionally rename it), and abortion still tops their list.

You think so? After November 3rd, 2020, you think anyone's vote will actually count? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.

From your post to me, “Jesus, who hurt you?”
