You know, I believe she's got it.
""Environmentalism (worshipping the creation) in conjunction with social Darwinism (the scientism that validates this lethal brew)""
It's all Darwin's fault . (sarcasm)
Look, if this is another attack on the separation of church and state which is Constitutional and which all conservatives should be supporting, just give it up. I am a firm believer in God and His Son Jesus Christ, and my spouse, children and I attend church and are practicing Christians. I also believe in the separation of church and state. And I believe science should be taught in a science class. I'm from the state of Kansas, and am very disappointed in the silly notion that intelligent design should be taught instead of evolution in a science class. I have no problem reconciling science and religion, and the scientists and engineers and doctors I know don't either. Muddled thinking is the work of the Other, not of God.
"Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of others."
Well. These people must have the highest minds of all. Sounds like they still believe in God, they just see Him in the mirror.
We, as a very Christian nation, indiscriminately slaughtered Indians -- men, women and children as Hitler did to the Jews (although our technology and organization weren't as good). We even shipped them off to die like the Young Turks did to the Armenians. The Christian Spanish decimated the populations of the Carribbean area.
That shouldn't have happened in this author's worldview.
Logorrheic hysteria?
Jihadists (and to some extent most of the Islamic world) may believe that if secular humanism i.e. atheism is left unchallenged, and they may assume that given the way Christianisty is attacked, insulted and reduced to a Parochialism, that may explain their outward hostility towards the west. They may fear the same fate as Christianity did.
Then again...

Obviously, this essay lost somthing in the translation from the simple but beautiful language of the Inca Monkey God.
Christianity
is the "work" of Jesus and
the Holy Spirt.
All the folks who think
a group of politicians
(no matter how bad!)
can undo God's work
just reveal how little faith
those folks have in God.

But you can guarantee that the "really high-minded people" will do all they can to make sure that the suffering is not by them.
"Nonpersons or potential persons cannot be wronged
because death does not deprive them of something they value." (John Harris, Sir David Alliance professor of bioethics, University of Manchester, England)
So, Professor Johnny, if an infants parents died and left him a billion dollars, it would be okay to steal that billion dollars because the infant is not able to value it?
A preborn human may not be able yet to value his life, but it is something of value that he has, and your pathetic attempt to justify taking it from him is as puerile as it is malevolent.
There are 1 million cases of HIV, 31-50 million of herpes simplex, 24 million of HPV, and 1 million cases of chronic hepatitis B.
Yo, what about chronic hepatitis C? There may be 4 million cases just among American military vets.
And unless we can arrest it, as Churchill declared, it will "shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible."
Winnie never ceases to amaze.
Pretty garbled article, but I'll just note that people who talk of humans as parasites can't be called humanists in any sense of the term. Evolutionary theory has taken on a very "Transhumanist" bent, whereby the human species is to become a better and new species through genetic engineering.
You know I believe she knows how to quote mine with the best.
I have trouble believing that there are people who really think like the author. There is enough hate and evil in the world that she really doesn't need to fabricate more.
