    Now? Now?

    I grew up with evangelicals who were enraged at the blasphemous insult that God did not control the Earth absolutely, and therefore the earth couldn’t be getting hotter unless God decided it was time for judgement day, in which case, celebrate, because those jews are finally getting what’s coming to them.

    This sounds like mental illness to normal people…

      I came here to comment this. It’s always been a culture war, beyond religious views, it’s never been popular with the majority to say that our largest industries and companies are willfully ignoring and hiding the truth about what is in humanity’s best interests in order to achieve growth.

      I don’t get this line of reason I ng, cause wasn’t earth given to the humans by God to be the caretakers of the planet? If so, were doing a pretty shitty job of it.

        Evangelicals rewrite the Bible in places where convenient.

        God didn’t give the earth to humans for caretaking, he gave it to us, and no man can undo what God hath wrought, so even if it is ruined somehow, God will rapture the faithful to a new realm leaving the damned to burn on earth for eternity as the new purgatory/hell.

        Its muddled, but the point is it means evangelicals win no matter what, so don’t worry about it.

      I grew up with evangelicals who believed it was blasphemous to say the icecaps are melting because God promised to never flood the Earth again lol
