Do ANY of your posts not contain something about Christian Evangelicals?

We need to spend every penny we have, stop using every resource we have, live in the stone age and decrease our lifespans back to 35.


Everything would be perfect!


It's basic science!













Every revolution starts with misinformed youth. Control the youth, control the world. Nothing like placing the future, our future, in the hands of children who believe they know more than anyone else.

Christian fundamentalism dominates our politics today and there are few issues where that is more the case than climate science.

Most people refuse to accept that climate change is caused by humans because "Jesus is coming back soon anyways" or "God controls the weather and gave man dominion over the earth so no need to worry." It's astounding that in 2019, grown adults in charge of the USA believe Genesis more than geology and in Revelation more than climate science.

I'm sorry, but for those who don't adhere to a literal reading of the Bible, climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction are major issues and much human suffering is coming down the pipes as a result.

So in answer to the other posters question: No. hehe. t r 0 1!

Anyone pick a problem ... any problem ... um ... okay, okay, I got one ....

Long lines at the pizza shop on Friday nights.

Reason? It's the Christian fundamentalists fault. They have bible study that night and order lots of pizza.

This woman is as stupid as they come. What's scarier is the fact that a majority of voting Hawaiians are dumber than she is.

In that instance, anybody who doesn't want to wait can just go to another pizza restaurant. We don't have another earth in the event the Christian Right is wrong about climate science.

Be fair brother. You have zealots on both sides. They take beliefs to a religious fervor and demonize any and all who question it.

I believe in Climate change. I believe that it is cyclical and that man exasperates it. More to the point I like clean air and water. Forget the hoopla over the climate, common sense should tell everyone to reduce pollution as much as technology allows.

Be fair many of the climate change messengers are complete hypocrites. People like Gore, the Obama's,, Hollywood whack jobs. Flying around on private jets, massive mansions, huge Limo's, etc. It's hard to take such messengers seriously.

Be like Bill Clinton or Trump giving lectures on respecting women. People would be like, wait, what???

Or like when Hillary said all victims deserve to be believed. I was like whoa that is the last person should be saying that, especially with how she treated her husbands accusers. LOL

The deniers will be be deniers. 120 years ago they would have denied flight was possible. Hell they would have denied it after the Wright Brothers flew. Then they would have dismissed it as a fancy toy. LOL
Deniers are like that.

This is the big thing for me. It seems like half the country almost celebrates the dumping of pollutants into the air and water because it "angers the demon-rats" without taking into account that it's their air and their water as well. Maybe they just don't care, but I'm hoping this planet isn't a post-industrial dystopia in 50 years due to a climate catastrophe. Right now, this feels like the opening chapter of a dystopian horror movie.
