The sermon started out great today. The pastor was talking about how all living things, and even non-living things such as mountains, sing praises to the Lord just by being what they are meant to be.
Then he turned an excellent sermon into a political rant.
He started to say that humans are responsible for global warming, when this is still a controversial topic.
He mentioned Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and even conceded that global warming has occurred in periods before fossil fuels, as Gore states in his book.
He said that Gore was mainly concerned with our own civilization - not the Earth - which will regenerate on its own - which makes it rather clear that Gore just wants to sell books and expand control and regulation, which is the wet dream of all liberals.
The pastor even mentioned Earth Day.
I thought that was the final straw, until he gave the benediction and said these words:

We all must look pass politics at times; greatness comes from either side of the political aisle. When Clinton Eastwood appeared at the RNC last year, someone in my family cursed the guy and said they'd never watch another one of his movies solely because he's a Republican. Idiotic? Of course it is, but some people which may include yourself see certain people as boogyman solely because of what others have told you. But aside from that, politics and religion should be like water and oil, they shouldn't mix. When I was into Church, my pastor often pressed for a agenda for everyone to vote for Obama without offering a reason to; of course about 99% of the congregation voted for him.
My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. James 3:1 (NKJV)
The bus to hell is gonna be full of preachers. (Electron Paraphrased Version)
My pastor is a warmongering Romans 13 'conservative'
I have come to the conclusion that I will not find the perfect church. No one will. We shouldn't place our faith in men anyway. I enjoy my church for the teaching and fellowship, but know when to tune into what he is saying and when to rely on the scripture instead of his opinion.

I'm discussing reality.
More bad stuff went into the air when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the 1980's than all the fossil fuel pollution of the last 90 years, and still no catastrophe has occurred.
Humans are not responsible for global warming - and to the chagrin of the alarmists - the Earth is actually cooling.
"Global warming" is a political charade - it is a vehicle for liberals to expand regulation and central control.
In other words - it is a blueprint for the Democrats to turn the United States into North Korea.

The USA or better yet the Democrats are turning into its number one foe, North Korea? Lets be rational here, we're all adults here therefore we should stop pointing fingers here or there. I won't deny what you're saying, you may be right, your pastor may be right but either way I don't believe you nor your pastor should ignore each others argument. There's no point for me to argue about Global Warming solely because I haven't done much research on it, but I think its safe to say that the world is warming; now the cause of that warming is debatable. Some may say because revelations says the world is coming to a end, while some may say CO2 emitting countries but whatever the cause, it is warming. I'm not sure if you're looking for a debate between Democrats and Republicans, if you want to dispel your pastor as a loony-tune, or you truly want to discuss rather Global Warming is real or not, so could you clarify your exact agenda?
It really is that simple. If liberals had their way they would destroy the sun and declare the earth is now safe from global warming.
