Christians missing the point...again

Someone needs to seriously take some of these folks and kindly explain that they are not helping the messages of Christ and that they are some of the stupidest people to walk the planet.

I'm going to assume that these people believe God put us here on Earth through Creationism. A Christian who fights against global warming hype needs to step back and realize that they are guests on His planet and burning through the resources or cutting down trees and basically treating this place like a drunken frat party is RETARDED. A Christian who believes that God provided us with things on Earth should not be fighting to protect the things that destroy the Earth! My god this is the dumbest ass thing I've ever read in my life!

They are some of the most confused souls roaming the US. I really don't get it. First, they scare up an anti-gay [expletive] storm in '04 now they are completely off base and screwing things up in '08.

Howz about helping the poor, reaching out to troubled people, building strong communities, taking care of your family and treating everything around you good and proper like the guy you supposedly believe in taught?

Yes, they are not "anti-Earth" they just feel that capping emissions will kill people. Just like abortion!

I guess they are counting on God to go ahead and fix the ozone.

“It isn’t as though we think that the earth is here to be abused. It is not,” he said. “It is God’s creation and we have a responsibility to care for it and to do all that we can to help it be the place that God wants it to be.”

Yet at the same time, policies should not be made to sacrifice the needs of the most needy in order to “reach some kind of standard” that may not even be reachable, Duke argued.
I believe the general sense of the article was something like, "don't make policies that could kill people today to try and save people tomorrow."

They recognize that we shouldn't abuse the Earth, which they also recognize as God's creation, but say that capping emissions is going to kill people today?

If they really truly want to fight something, they should probably start with eviscerating companies that do not recycle. Or places that burn coal. There are a large number of places in this country that are a part of the problem. Fight them.

I do think it's important to not get to hasty with regards to environmental policy. Even a slight move toward ethanol fuel has had an impact on food prices. That hurts the poor the most, the very same group you instructed the Christians to champion.

I think ethanol is a poor idea and would be worse than our current energy source.

But if they think the price would be too extravagant, one needs only to look at how much money is being used every day to fight a war that can no longer be explained without the use of expletives.

You can be Christian and against the war, Snayke.
