‘Enormously insensitive’ to hurt God’s feelings by not using oil

Put on your stupid repellant for this one.


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/30/bryan-fischer-enormously-insensitive-to-hurt-gods-feelings-by-not-using-oil/

"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 God’s fossil fuels would be like “crushing” someone’s feelings by rejecting their birthday present.

The Cornwall Alliance’s 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."



What about us Sun worshipers? Dear old Sol feels hurt every time you put gas in your vehicle!

I'm flabbergasted that so few easily realize how the ruling classes attempt to use religion for their own purposes, age after age.

A more appropriate name would be 'Ministew' - and just as Minipax was in charge of waging war, the Ministry of Stewardship is a leading advocate for pollution. Despite their claim to be interested in some form of 'stewardship', such as fighting malaria, literally the only things they've said in their past 4 years of press releases is that global warming doesn't exist, pollution controls are expensive and thus unbiblical and wrong, and saving lives can't be called 'pro-life', because that phrase has been copyrighted by politicians who are against abortion, and some of them are also pro-pollution.

Seriously, I think the Koch brothers (whom I'd suspect of bankrolling that 'Cornwall' crap) are publicly more 'pro-environment' than those guys.

But, yeah, anyone signing up to that is more in favour of Exxon than Jesus.

The AFA doesn't have a shred of credibility at this point.
