Bryan Fischer, the director of issues analysis of the conservative fundamentalist American Family Association, on Thursday told a so-called expert who denies climate change that not using Gods fossil fuels would be like crushing someones feelings by rejecting their birthday present.
The Cornwall Alliances Calvin Beisner, who has previously said that believing in climate change is an insult to God, explained on Thursday that the Bible said it was also very rude to not use oil, coal and natural gas.
The wicked and lazy master was the one who buried his talent in the ground and didnt do anything to multiply it, Beisner explained. Thats essentially what those who say we need to stop using oil, coal and natural gas are telling us to do. Just leave those resources buried in the ground, rather than pulling them out and multiplying their value for human benefit.

And you think, thats kind of how were treating God when hes given us these gifts of abundant and inexpensive and effective fuel sources, Fischer added. And we dont thank him for it and we dont use it.

We have GOT to get a super, duper, quadluper majority in 2014. It is imperative to the future of our country - these nuts are going to destroy us if they get in power!

I had to read the article just to make sure it wasn't some kind of weird parody cross-posted by mistake.
