I was looking forward to watching a little theological debate on this site.

Now THAT would be entertaining.

Also making a point not to argue when, to some folks here, the facts don’t really matter.

I’m not a Christian, and even I know it’s not the “book of revelations.”

Benjy- correct me if i’m wrong. But when I look at my Bible it puts this whole we will destroy the globe thing to bed!! According to the book of revealations God has his own global warming theory! Fireballs from heaven, read about it, he created it he’ll destroy if he wants too. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be responsible with his creation. But I believe he cares more for human life then a polar bear.

Obama claimed that the average American would not bear the brunt of this historic tax-increase: he stated that instead ““It is paid for by the polluters who currently emit dangerous carbon emissions.”

Just compare this outrageous falsehood to Ronald Reagans’ famous quote:

“The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us.

Business doesn’t pay taxes, and who better than business to make this message known? Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business.”

And after the way the rammed this through the House with little debate, without legislators even reading it… and while quarantining the GOP from any meaningful input whatsoever, any foolhardy individuals who still believe Obama’s threadbare “bipartisanship” spiel ought to have their head examined.

Ron H. – not only is your comment bad science, it’s bad theology. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m going to throw out the wild guess that you’re a conservative Christian. I, too, am an evangelical Christian. And when I look at the Bible and human history, I see a constant record of humanity mis-using the gifts God has given us, often with destructive consequences.

Take sex, for instance. A wonderful thing, to be sure. But we do it irresponsibly and have a lot of out-of-wedlock or fatherless kids and the breakdown of the family. Or take our intelligence, capable of marvelous things, but also used to create some of the most horrific weapons imaginable (i.e. chemical and nuclear).

Same with climate change. God gave us natural resources, we mis-use them, and we create potentially catastrophic climate change. You think God’s going to shield us from the consequences of our actions?
