'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?"

When I see trees I see and smell furniture being made in my shop.

Yeah, but only after they have completed their duty for American Defense.

With respect to these supposedly Christian folks and their IQs, the plants are obviously smarter. And the there is that 1st Commandment thing, “there shall be NO gods before me”. So much for their personal Christian faith.

Plants should make a sign saying “Eat Mor Meet!”

[Not just any plant.

House plants.]

Well, to be fair, House Plants are apparently brighter than AOC. And more-centered.

The earth worshippers are safely indoors with poor captive plants arranged on a neat dirt carpet. Some communion with nature!

Just more liberals trying to lead other fools into Hell.

It’s what they do.

They're actually pikers in expressing their remorse compared to the green hippie sect.

Pure heresy and evil.

“For they exchanged THE TRUTH OF GOD for a LIE, and WORSHIPPED and SERVED the CREATURE rather than the CREATOR, who is blessed forever. Amen.” (Romans 1:25 emphasis added)

18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.

20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Romans 1:18-23 NASB

Instead of confessing to the plants someone ought to water them.
