Christians for self-annihilation

The die-hard Rethug fundagelical Bush-worshipping idolaters torpedoed an attempt by the NAE to do the right thing on global warming.

Evangelicals Will Not Take Stand on Global Warming
But this fledgling movement -- dubbed the "greening of evangelicals" in a front-page Washington Post article a year ago -- has also met internal resistance. In a letter to Haggard last month, more than 20 evangelical leaders urged the NAE not to adopt "any official position" on global climate change because "Bible-believing evangelicals . . . disagree about the cause, severity and solutions to the global warming issue."

The letter's signers amounted to a Who's Who of politically powerful evangelicals, including Charles W. Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship Ministries; James C. Dobson, chairman of Focus on the Family; the Rev. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries; the Rev. Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention; Richard Roberts, president of Oral Roberts University; Donald E. Wildmon, chairman of the American Family Association; and the Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition.
This isn't a matter of religious belief, assholes; it's scientific fact.

It's shameful that so-called Christians refuse to stand for wise stewardship of God's green earth, siding instead with those who would rape, pillage, and destroy.
