Jackson: I didn’t say the Religious Right has championed anti-Global Warming more than other causes, but they’ve definitely championed it. See “Dominion Theology,” a very active movement which, greatly oversimplified, says that God commands us to use the earth’s resources until they’re all used up, and that failing to do so shows our lack of faith.

I’m sure you don’t buy that argument, but millions of people do. And some of them (James Watt, as Iceweasel points out above) have held very powerful positions in government.

You make a good point, I think, that many in the Religious Right want to avoid being associated with anything they define as “left,” and they’ve definitely framed AGW as being in that category…even as more and more individual churches come out in favor of conservation and green policies.

SE … you see … I am a Christian … I am a Catholic and to be honest with you … I never knew there was such a thing as so many Christians embracing creationism (and yes I know about Dominion Theology as I also know all about Black Liberation Theology) … maybe I lived a sheltered life … maybe … I also did not know that so many in some circles hated Jews … I was never brought up that way and to my surprise after really listening to the whispers of the left in the democratic circles I finally opened my eyes and saw .. yes … many of them do think that Israel is a problem and just wish it would go away … hey … it is all what you want to open your eyes to see … Eyes Wide Shut … never a good thing …

Anyway … here is what I am listening to … and good night all Lizards … and Christine was the best singer in Fleetwood Mac …
