I laugh,
hard, when liberals tell me that they are scared of religious people. Environmentalism is not only a religion, but also the newest form of communism, socialism, and progressivism; one with a smiley face instead of
brown shirts or
black shirts. That, is scary.
The following attributes of the current environmental movement have convinced me be that it is in fact a religion and that good Christians cannot simultaneously be good Environmentalists:
God/Omnipotent being/Life giver: Gaia, Mother Nature, Mother Earth
Dogma: The Gaia hypothesis
Place of Worship: Everywhere, anywhere, anytime. You are always in the church of the Earth.
Holy book: An Inconvenient Truth, coupled with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
Holy men/women: Al Gore, Ted Danson, Ted Turner, Bonnie Rait, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, PETA, willing politicians, teachers who preach the faith, The United Nations and countless others.
Followers: Environmentalists and those who have been made to feel guilty for their very existence. The media, world governments, world citizens, liberals and democrats, the uninformed and even the unwilling.
Holy Day: Earth Day, celebrated on the March equinox by the United Nations, and/or April 22.
Sin: Carbon emissions, littering, pollution, Styrofoam, pesticides, “waste,” doubt/debate, chemicals, nuclear power, oil, pharmaceuticals, procreation
Penance Taxes, fines, imprisonment, carbon credits, procreation limits, recycling, and overall green living (hybrid cars, less travel, lowering heat or a.c., and much more).
