Volcano god paganism is one. Marxism, of course, is another. The dark views of Calvinism, the religion of the New England Puritans, from whom the progressive movement descended, is another. Calvinists believe that mankind is doomed to sin in this life and can only be redeemed by complete denial of hope, pleasure, achievement or satisfaction in this life. New Age Gaia worship is another, which is religious and philosophical ignorance, mixed with the pagan urges and unfettered narcissism that naturally arise among the spiritually and philosophically immature. Add political opportunism and the need for many humans to have a sin/apocalyptic retribution myth of some kind, and you have a perfect superstorm of collective folly.Victor Erimitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17778164827528511718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-16021807629343543222013-11-18T21:43:41.774-05:002013-11-18T21:43:41.774-05:00The late Michael Crichton pointed this out nicely ...The late Michael Crichton pointed this out nicely in a speech nearly 10 years ago.A pdf archived transcript of his speech on this is available <a href="http://www.pe.tamu.edu/DL_Program/graduate_seminar_series/Documents/MichaelCrichton_evironmentalism.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

The best response for this need and for human failings is found in the Bible, the Word, or the explanation for everything. But man, some men, have always found a reason to reject God. Throughout human history, the reality is that fallen man has looked far and wide to explain the reality of everything and come up with the most bizarre explanations to try to come to a conclusion of why things are. <br /><br />I have never found a more compelling explanation of why things are than what is written in the Bible. <br /><br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-36199431115054885642013-11-18T21:12:37.949-05:002013-11-18T21:12:37.949-05:00I haven't found a way to argue w/ GW people, t...I haven't found a way to argue w/ GW people, they just get pissed.

Because they have written God out of their belief system, environmentalists must compensate in two ways; first, they must make themselves all-knowing and all-powerful, and second, they must invent their own form of salvation. Environmental religion is nothing new. In the 1970's, all plant life on Earth was going to be destroyed by acid rain unless we enacted laws to restrict industry. Later, the Earth was going to melt down to its core unless we shut down the nuclear power plants. Then we were all going to perish from the ozone hole. Still later, after we banned aerosol propellants, plastic shopping bags and incandescent light bulbs were going bring on extinction-level events. Now, global warming will cause the seas to rise and the ground to shift. The environmentalists first concoct an apocalypse scenario and then try to convince us that only they can prevent it. The "solution" always comes in the form of suppressing individual liberties. Environmentalism is not about protecting the Earth; it is about the environmentalists trying to build a Tower of Babel and to make a name for themselves in their battle against God.<br /><br />Dan S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-88193860677230276632013-11-18T15:55:09.268-05:002013-11-18T15:55:09.268-05:00Great work of knocking down strawmen, Daniel.

Why contend with such pesky things as scientific papers, when instead caricaturing climate change advocates by using the deluded ramblings of the leftist media and "progressive" hippies and then triumphantly "exposing" their hysteria is so much easier.<br /><br />What you see above is the "feelies" of the Left, being ridiculed by the "feelies" of the right. Facts? Research? Paleeeeease... Are you trying to insult me? Me and my dying grandmother? <br /><br />If you are one of those people who pride themselves as being true skeptics who actually care about the truth more than caressing their egos, I warmly recommend this playlist of videos which IMHO constitute the best dispassionate examination of the global warming debate available for non-experts: <br />http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4957F2ACA87CF1B1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-56939598372129421202013-11-18T13:04:32.283-05:002013-11-18T13:04:32.283-05:00The real story is told in the three words on the s...The real story is told in the three words on the sign in the picture "climate justice now". A classic example of using words to befuddle. They don't want climate justice they want free stuff. They want socialism. They want what you got and they will say anything, tell any lie, pull any subterfuge to get it. Anytime you see the phrase "social justice" you are looking at a committed socialist who wants "free stuff".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-74840424564066866202013-11-18T11:07:41.743-05:002013-11-18T11:07:41.743-05:00To be a true Liberal (or of any Group), the approp...To be a true Liberal (or of any Group), the appropriate dogma must be believed and honored, without question. Any departure from the "straight and narrow" line can't be tolerated. Supernatural entities are necessary, in all cases, for they can justify anything; therefore all unquestioned things are permissible, provided they are approved by the "anointed one". "Nature" as god works.<br />Religions can't allow questioning authority or current dogma, so they are always dangerous and usually violent. Present company excluded, of course.<br />Regards,DenisOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-43802028654743008222013-11-18T06:49:00.092-05:002013-11-18T06:49:00.092-05:00Using the term "Mother" Nature in the fi...Using the term "Mother" Nature in the first place is misleading, not to mention insulting to most mothers.
