More folks making Christians look like nutcases.
I checked and this is not satire.
How crazy do you have to be to support this cause? What terrifies me is the vast number of certifiable crazy liberals there are acting in unison.
These people are idiots, not Christians.
I'm ... shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you.
Meanwhile, Presbyterians for Restoring Creation, a grassroots coalition within the US Presbyterian Church, launched a campaign last spring urging individuals to sign a pledge against drinking bottled water and to take the message to their churches, according to the article
Peter Principle in Action Alert......they are way past their level of competence.
I agree. Same with scuba tanks. Air should be free!

I'm sorry, but if we cannot sell water, how can we sell beef or fish or lettuce or apples?
Well I'm just caught between Scylla & Charybdis here. If I drink bottled water, I'm on the team with elitist gym rats. If I don't drink bottled water, I'm on the team with these nutbergers. Bartender? Could I get a Bud light please? Draft not bottle, I'm doing my part to save the planet.
The water is free. You're just paying for the plastic it comes in.
Well, if you don't want to listen to a preacher's boring sermons about cleaning up your own act by getting and staying married, by living honest lives, by giving personally to lift up the weak and weary, then world causes such as this is just the recipe for making you feel virtuous without messing with your personal lifestyle choices. (Call me Nathaniel Hawthorne, sorry for the run-on sentence but got to be running myself.)
I say we let these loony leftists pretending to be Christians practice what they preach - in some place like Turkey. Let them drink the tap water there for a few days - if they end up with cases of dysentery similar to what I saw in Navy shipmates who refused to follow advice and drank the local water, they'd never drink anything that didn't come out of a bottle again.
[beep] silly thing to worry about.
I can't vouch for the truth of the following claim, but I have heard that if the money spent on bottled water in the US were instead spent on improving public water works, the quality of water from the tap would exceed the quality of any bottled water with the exception of distilled bottled water.
If that is true, there's an economic argument to be made based on the efficient allocation of resources and that argument is completely independent of any claim about the moral justice or injustice of the over-all affordability or unaffordability of bottled water.
They could logically extend this to work as well. After all, God gives us our strength and talents and when we sell our skills or expertise to the highest bidder, aren't we depriving those who may have need of them but can afford to pay us nothing?
Our priest leaves a bottle on the alter next to him in case his throat gets dry during mass.
Good thing we have such brave men and women out there fighting to protect us from those evil, unscrupulous Dihydrogen Monoxide marketers. What greater threat to human liberty currently exists on the planet?
