a small soapbox

"Our stewardship of creation must be based on Biblical principles and factual evidence"... Well, someone apparently failed to point out to blatancy of this contradiction to them. And as others have already said, yeah, changing to prevent global warming is not going to be easy, but think of what will happen if we don't. Maybe it's a matter of simply not understanding the concept; Christians could think of it like Pascal's Wager. Aren't we much better off trying to protect the environment and attempting to live sustainably than not, even if global warming isn't happening? Why take the risk? Everyone's a loser if global warming is real (nevermind all the other negative stuff happening to the environment that is scientifically proven to be occurring), but we could all benefit in the long run from trying to live sustainably.
One more thing... I've noticed that right-wing Christians tend to not care about the environment as much as less conservative Christians. (Conservative...conservation... hm, that's funny.) Many of my friends and family members who are far-right Christians claim both the reason stated in caniscandida's post (which we can also Biblically prove is flawed thinking), and also the "Why should we care? Christ is coming back" reason. Also as a concept Bibically-erroneous. No matter what form of Christianity or Islam you practice, I think the Golden Rule still applies... It's easy for people in the "First World" to sit back and not do a darn thing and call it the Will of God, but if I was living in a developing nation, I think I'd throw my stone in with living sustainably.
Okay, sorry, I'll give someone else the soapbox now.On Conservative Christians launch skeptical climate campaign posted 1 year, 6 months ago 10 Responses
