I'm having trouble figuring out the Christian aspect of this. What exactly does the Bible say about the benefits of nuclear power or how to evaluate climate science? It sounds like this is just the Republican energy policy being relabeled as Christian.

In any case, I think this effort is pretty irrelevant. Most Americans, including most Bush supporters, are in favor of action to combat climate change. The people are not the obstacle. The opposition that counts comes from industry.

The combination of men of the cloth and science is scary.

Not far removed from the combination of a 16 year old boy, a car with a large V8 and a fifth of whiskey.

You're accusing people of not getting the point without laying out a point they should get.

What I should say.
It was a joke, thats all.

What I really mean.
I disagree with creationism and those associated with it frustrate me when they express their views, which is selfish of me.

It was my own little way of taking a swing without really taking a swing.

Most Democrats that I know are Christians, some of whom go to church or small groups several times a week. Any party that claims to be the sole representative of Christianity has another thing coming.

It's interesting to see how the party lines shake out on environmental issues. A lot of staunch conservatives are (as their name would imply) very pro-conservation, and in many ways are the original environmentalists. People that have owned property in their families for generations tend to be fiercely protective of the environment.
