Is this Overland Park....or South Park? :)

Global Warming, like Peak Oil, is a religious event for those who'd rather not bother with all that Jesus stuff.

[JennysCool]

"Global Warming" is an industry that isn't growing fast enough for the grant-eaters who dream they'll be in clover if they can just convince enough sheeple to go along with it.

People need to get religious about eradicating the real threats. Our enemies want us dead or else or living in the stone age. The Enviros see that as an improvement.

[Kimmers]

Why am I not surprised the National Council of Churches is behind this?

According to them their faith lies somewhere in the middle....and we all know about the middle people or as I refer to them as moderates.

It seems to me a church could lose its tax-exempt status for showing this film and distributing "voter guides."

So can we hope for sermons promoting nuclear power construction?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Although I'm not a big church goer anymore, (My faith has grown and matured) the first time a priest starting preaching to me about "global warming," I'd walk up to the alter and kick his goatsmellin' ass. A separation of church and politics thing don't ya know!

Just telling it like it is.

Evangelical Christian leaders have embraced the cause and are now helping spur momentum before both midterm elections in November and the 2008 presidential election.

"In the past, white evangelicals have been largely Republican and the environment has traditionally been a Democratic issue ... so there are political implications in terms of alliances," said Joel Hunter, who serves on the National Association of Evangelicals board and as senior pastor of the 12,000-member Northland Church in Longwood, Florida.

It is clear that these folks are not followers of Yah'shua,
the creator of the universe.

b'shem Yah'shua

The left as always is clueless about Evangelical Christians.

"But there is no doubt about the mandate of scripture here... We need to do what we can to care for the Earth," Hunter said by telephone..."We want to lead people into the arena where it will have an affect on how they vote."

Great Caesar's Ghost! What kind of a doofus would listen to a sermon by a clown?

Mandate of scripture??? Try this one: "Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (John 8)

.....Our enemies want us dead or else or living in the stone age. The Enviros see that as an improvement.

Amen to that.

[Richard Axtell]

You have landed on something interesting here. There is a great convergence in agenda, if not ideology, between Islamic extremists and the extreme left, as they see each other as a convenient means to an end: the destruction of the United States and the capitalist West. Now the Enviros can join this wonderful crusade, as they in their heart of hearts see the human population of the earth as a form of pollution, and yearn for some prosaic fantasy past world where the air is clean and the streams run clear, and the little bunnies hop pity hop amongst the wildflowers... without people. Does that sound like a future Evangelicals would want? Perhaps not. Perhaps they are simply dupes in this alarmist "Chicken Little" remake.

SMOKE SCREEN ALERT!

BARF!!!
