'Absolute theological bankruptcy': Union Theo Seminary students confess climate sins to plants
Washington Examiner ^ | September 18, 2019 | Jon Brown

Students at Union Theological Seminary prayed to a display of plants set up in the chapel of the school, prompting the institution to issue a statement explaining the practice as many on social media mocked them.

"Today in chapel, we confessed to plants," the nation's oldest independent seminary declared Tuesday on Twitter. "Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?"

All hail to Gaia, eh liberals?

The spirit of antichrist at work in the Latter Days.

That would provide fertilizer for the trees. A very green thing to do.

I ate some asparagus and now my pee smells. But I didn’t get the farts.

I think we should work hard to convince the far left that being vegan is not enough, they cannot eat plants either. When they die off from starvation, we can use their corpses for plant food.

I’m awful sorry, Mr. Cornstalk, but I’m going to cut you off above your roots, which I will allow to wither and die. Then I’ll cut off all your seed pods. Then I’ll take your seed and either roast it and then eat it or I’ll grind it into powder and then bake it and eat it. Nothing personal, though.

Assuming that ridiculous notion that plants are even sentient, why apologize to THESE plants?

These plants have been raised, fed and protected by humans. How were they. harmed? They should be thanking humans!

Its an act of pure narcissism by these freaks.
