Yet more evidence that women should never be allowed any leadership position in a church.

At this point in time, I do not think there is such a thing as the “religious left” - at least not based on the definition of “religious” with which I am familiar.

I suppose, though, that if the definition of religion was expanded to include a “faith-based belief” in the “truth” of anthropogenic global warming, then a person who believes in “Apocalyptic Global Warming” could be consider3ed to be from the “religious left”.

“Several days ago The Washington Post cited a University of Colorado and Naval Research Laboratory worldwide database for hurricanes or typhoons between 1970 and 2010 that concluded: “The analysis does not indicate significant long-period global or individual basin trends in the frequency or intensity of landfalling [tropical cyclones] of minor or major hurricane strength.””

I think every year for the last twenty, the U of Colorado has predicted that the year would be a year of significant increase in the number of hurricanes.

Wonder why she did not recommend moving people to higher ground.

The warming cult will never admit that the mysticism of computer models is hocus-pocus nonsense. And like most conspiracy nuts, they are committed to revealing truth that doesn’t exist, no matter how many lies they have to tell.

Global Warming guru Algore – wearing his ever present Nobel medal – is seen here en-route to an important “scientific” conference in Nassau hosted by the UN/IPCC where he was to be the keynote speaker.

Topics on the agenda were to have included “Finding a Good Bail Bondsman,” “Not ALL Criminal Lawyers Are Sharks,” “Changing Careers for Dummies,” “You Want Fries With That?,” “How To Encrypt Emails,” “The Best Prison Jobs,” “Getting Along With Your Cellmate” and “Getting Used to Sleeping On Your Back.”

A sudden – and unfortunate – blast of what the “scientist” in charge of the conference termed “global warming” caused the meeting to be rescheduled until Algore can be thawed some time next Spring – assuming there will BE one.

Our reporter has learned that the influential conservative web site Free Republic has launched a contribution drive to rent a freezer locker in which to keep Gore for the 10 to 15 years estimated it will take for the so-called “mainstream media” to begin covering the Climategate story.

Hits Tea Partiers, Conservatives As ‘Tribal’, Not Christian

The liberal seminary professor and Washington Post/Newsweek “On Faith” contributor last Wednesday lashed out at the “fundamentalism” of Tea Party calls for fiscal restraint, insisting that conservative takes on the federal budget were un-Christian, “tribal” and racist in nature:

http://newsbusters.org/category/people/susan-brooks-thistlethwaite#ixzz2kegXl3oh

Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, is so affected by PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) that she has launched a hate-filled screed against Palin’s religion. This might seem an uncharacteristic thing for an ordained minister to do but not when you find out a bit more about Our Miss Brooks. Her bio on the Washington Post site describes Thistlethwaite’s area of expertise as “contextual theologies of liberation.” Liberation theology which is another way of saying Marxism wrapped in a phony religious wrapper to make it seem more palatable. Thistlethwaite launches a distinctly un-Christian snarky attack upon Palin right from the start of her blog

Much of the worst hysteria about apocalyptic Global Warming has cooled, especially after more than 15 years of no global temperature increases, evincing at least that climate computer models are less than infallible.

Since they ALL fail the simple test everyone can understand...
I would rather say that climate computer models universally SUCK!

A totally different scenario.
That was a tension between faith and science.
Today it is a tension between science and pseudoscience (or unacknowledged incompetence.)

Hmmm. How would she explain the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 that struck New England as a Category 3 during the Little Ice Age? No global warming there. Recent Hurricane Sandy was only a Category 1.
