Global Warming Quotes of the Day

I don't normally post like this, but recently I have heard too many Christians repeating the talking points of the global warming religion under the guise of stewardship. I'm all for good stewardship and decreasing waste. I'm not for worshiping the environment. As a side note, it seems obvious to me that the threat of global warming is already motivating a push for increased taxes and eventually increased governmental power over our daily lives (regulating what type of cars we drive or what type of lightbulbs we use, for example). The following quotes are glimpses into the dangers of environmentalism.

"Christians do bear a responsibility to be good stewards of the earth. This is not an easy responsibility to bear in the confusing context of modern ecological debates. But the church of Jesus Christ bears the responsibility to be the steward of the Gospel above all other concerns. The temptation to turn to this-worldly concerns at the expense of spiritual concerns is very strong. Beyond this, human beings will worship either the Creator or the creation. When the authority of the Bible is undermined and confidence that we can know the Creator is compromised, the creation itself looms larger and larger as a central passion." - Albert Mohler


"If you don't believe in God, you have no meaning in your life, and you will thus search for meaning, and you will find it anywhere.  Most people, even atheists, want religion of some kind in their life.  Hello, global warming, as a substitute -- apparently unrecognized and not even organized -- religion.  Yet it is.  So you can set the stage for more people, if the atheists were to ever get their way, of establishing global warming as an unofficial religion that does force people to behave in religious ways just to a false god: the earth, a tangible god.  By the way, there's another thing, another character that all major religions require, and the same thing can be said of manmade global warming, and that characteristic that both require is "faith."  Because, when you get down to it, nobody can prove their religion is true.  That's why there is faith, and that's why faithful people frighten those who have no faith, because faithful people realize there's something larger than themselves.  The global warming people essentially are atheists. You cannot believe in the God of Creation and believe manmade global warming.  You just can't.  You might run around and say, "I don't want to destroy God's creation."  God's laughing at you.  You can't!  He could, but you can't.  You can't create it; you can't destroy it.  You might be changing it. We adapt to it. We have to adapt to it. Every living thing has to adapt to nature in order to thrive." -Rush Limbaugh
