Re: Climate change could mean the extinction of our species
.....and Gaia will give three exhausted cheers when it finally happens. We don't deserve this place.
Global climate change is the least of our worries compared to the irresponsible who refuse to reform entitlements. When our "government" defaults will our businesses be far behind?
Wow...just fucking wow. This may be the dumbest post ever. You're saying Social Security and Medicare (entitlements is just a CON buzzword meant to demonize them) are going to do more damage than GLOBAL climate change.Quote:

Climate change will have severe to cataclysmic effects on the entire planet (that's where the GLOBAL part comes in, lad).
How fucking twisted - or stupid - must you be to make that comparison?
If you choose to believe in a religion so be it, but to force your religious beliefs on the rest of the population is where we draw the line. No other religion is trying to tax the worlds population so there high priests can profit. All the while why they live in lavish palaces, drive 8 suv's and fly around the world in private jets.
Christians don't believe that. You don't believe that. You are willing to ignore the findings of science and to sacrifice the well being of others on the altar of Ayn Rand and her lame-brain religion of libertarianism. You don't believe there's a global climate shift because if there is it might cost money,__we might have to work together to deal with it,__ the extreme conservative, "every man for himself" rational-self-interest approach to governance might not be able to address the problem adequately. But political postures are not scientific arguments; they can settle the issue of what idiots will believe and what nations will decide to do, but they bring us no closer to truth than did the inquisition's trails by ordeal.Quote:

We are a Christian nation.
Our laws are based on the Ten Commandments.
There should be no Mosque's within four blocks of ground zero.
etcetera, etcetera, et-fucking-cetera.
The Bible instructs Christians to share the gospel. But there is this little thing called free choice, it is completely up to you what you believe. And as a Christian I could really care less what you believe, its YOUR belief.Quote:

But hey, not all Christians are extremist assholes, just the ones making the most noise.
This is a beautiful example of how Christian theology is being used by extremist Christians to force and bend others to their will.Quote:
