Comments snaketeacher has made

Welcome?

I found the Grist site just tonight and signed up to help me stay abreast of a broad range of issues and keep informed as an environmental educator.  From the above post, I've learned that: 1. as a Christian, this fellow environmentalist is uncomfortable w/ me calling myself an environmentalist; 2. I embrace the republican party (That's a revelation to me!!); 3. my belief in the Bible as God's word to humankind is ridiculous and somehow makes me unscientific in my approach to anything.  It's ironic--when I meet Christians who thump their Bibles as hard as this commentor lumps and thumps Christians, I ask them to puleeze chill out.  Like it or not, Christians are a significant political force.  Those of us who care about the earth and its inhabitants would be wise to approach folks from ALL faith persuasions as fellow sentient beings.  It's the future generations of sentient beings who'll be hurt most if we remain divided rather than become united in taking care of nature.  

I hope I'll be welcome on this site,
