re: #316 Shiplord Kirel

Is it just me, or does it seem that religious whacko candidates and officials are getting more and more brazen about invoking their superstitions in the public arena? The “God wouldn’t let it happen” argument against AGW is a frequently heard example.

In a way, this is a good thing since it reveals the actual basis for their ideology and reveals these dark age throwbacks for what they really are. It is alarming, though, that they feel so confident about it.

God would give a child a disability to punish its mother for an abortion. God would, of course, not allow the climate to be screwed up by centuries of pollution and reckless use.

Sure there’s some theological consistency here.
