Environmentalism should be consided a religion and treated as such. The county I live in is run by environmental groups(Central Sierra Resouce Council) and the local paper is owed by them(Sierra Club).

If we considered it a religion we'd actually have to treat them witha modicum of respect, that durned religious freedom thing. Best to consider it a mental illness and lock them up where they can be safe.

With the eclipe of Christianity, primitive nature religions come creeping back in all of their superstition and barbarism. Feminists, in reacting against "patriarchal" religions such as Christianity, try to restore goddess-worship. Environmentalists stress how the whole planet constitutes a single interdependent ecosystem. It is as if we are all individual cells of a larger organism, a living being long worshiped as Mother Earth, the goddess Gaia.

Whereas modernism sought human control over nature, postmodernism exalts nature at the expense of human beings. While a love of nature and a concern for the environment are laudable, many environmentalists go to anti-human extremes. David Brown, former head of the Sierra Club, sees the destruction of human life as being no more tragic than the destruction of the wilderness, "While the death of young men in war is unfortunate," he says,"it is no more serious than {the} touching of mountains and wilderness areas by humankind."
