It's Getting Hot In Here...........

Back to work. Had a night off, got to see everyone at home a little.

Started Harry Potter, the first book. I love it.

Saw something kind of interesting on MSN. Remember good old James Dobson? Focus on the Family? Those films we were forced to watch for vespers? The poster child for christian-family values. Yeah. Him. Apparently some things aren't worth the family focusing on:

(for the whole story)

When asked whether or not the environment and global warming is something christians should be concerned about:

"A debate not worth having"

"Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, is at the forefront of a group of Christian social conservatives -- among them Gary Bauer, Coalitions for America; Don Wildmon, American Family Association; and Tony Perkins, Family Research Council -- who don't participate in the climate change debate so much as attempt to stanch it. It was members of this evangelical wing who complained to the NAE board about Richard Cizik, and who see global warming as an inherently "liberal" issue that can only divert attention from more pressing social concerns such as abortion and homosexuality."

A liberal issue. Isn't it a human issue?

Let's see, -------------- whether or not somone is having consensual gay sex is much more important than if we destroy our world. On scientific data alone, I think the polar ice caps melting, entire species of animals dying off, then us dying off might be a little more of a threat to our existence than let's say two guys having sex. But thats just me. What do I know?

I guess maybe christians are more intimidated by gays than ......... well probably just about anything. I know some gay people, and they are pretty scary. Apparently much more threatening than the destruction of our world.

But wait - global warming doesn't exist. I'll believe in a god who I can't see, who science proves doesn't exist, a god who has been the motivating factor behind more death and war than any disease or epidemic - but I won't believe scientific data about how hot our world is.

Brilliant.

I fear for my children.

And their children.

(What WOULD Jesus drive? I think he would drive an old volkswagon bus. With lots of flowers painted on it. I think he would drive around the country with Tommy Chong in the passenger seat, listening to Pink Floyd. Spreading peace and love. Totally.)
