You know I have a real problem when it comes to Organised Religion. The problem can basically be summed up thus: ‘Organised religion is a pile of horse shit.’ Don’t come preaching to me, because quite frankly you can blow it out of your ass.
Environmental concerns=Morality
Scientists have an obligation to report the facts and only the facts that can be supported by a proven theory. This is not a question of belief, of prayer power or even a question of faith. This is a question of fact. You can not argue with a fact because despite the arguments the fact will remain. You can try to cover up the fact but that creates a problem because the fact hasn’t changed. Changing facts that are proven is simply fraudulent, untruthful and immoral. You may even want the facts to be changed, but faith can not change a fact or make it less true.
I find it interesting how big oil companies and religion have met on common ground, and that common ground is the thought that we can squeeze as much out of this planet as we want without any issue at all. I hate to tell you this, but there are consequences to our actions and in a relatively short space of time we’ll see them in a more profound way.
I want to ensure that there is a provision of resources available to future generations of people. I want to ensure that this planet can continue to support life but the immorality of religion is to maintain the status quo as if blind faith in (a/the/any) God will stop the planet from becoming a desolate wasteland. All the faith in the world will not produce another barrel of oil from a dry well. All the faith in the world will not make it rain any more in the catchments than it is presently. But a cut in Carbon Dioxide emissions might help us curb the disaster that is already in motion.
“Glacier” National Park no longer deserves the title. I encourage American conservatives to look in their own back yards for signs of global climate change. Mountain glaciers such as the one that used to exist in Glacier National Park are decreasing in mass.
Medieval warming period.
Yes indeed there was a medieval warming period, but let me put it to you like this; The glaciers survived. This is not the case now. Once the glaciers disappear, 40% of the worlds fresh drinking water will disappear with them. What will blind faith do to deliver fresh water to the places that will (in some cases) lose their only supply of it?
Religion=immorality.
Blind faith can get you into trouble. Every place organised religion has touched has resulted in a disaster. Organised religion seems to have only two purposes, 1) consume, 2) copulate. Although rather funnily enough, sex is a huge issue for religion which is something I find most amusing. With these two single religious directives in place the population of this planet will reach 9.2 billion by 2050 when there wont be enough food and water available to feed that many people. This is not immoral, it is irresponsible. The natural resources of this planet CAN NOT support it at the current rate of consumption, so what are you going to do? Blindly let it happen or heed a warning? When a traffic light says stop do you keep driving regardless? Or do you stop? If we took the same approach to traffic control as we are with the environment the rate of traffic related death and injury would soar to pandemic levels. So why heed the stop light when you wont heed the issue staring you right in the face?
Rising sea-levels.
“But the scientists have been telling us that the sea-levels will rise, but I haven’t seen it.” Its easy to say that when you live in Middle America where the closest you get to water is a long soak in a bathtub. Try telling that to the small pacific island nations whose land mass is being consumed by a rising sea. It is no longer a case of when sea-levels will rise, because they already are rising. The rate of rise can be reduced to an extent if we act now.
Sex
How can you morally encourage people to procreate on one hand and not deal with the consequences on the other? Where is the morality in that?
You can not claim that being gay is against nature as an argument as religion has absolutely nothing to do with nature. The Fact is that there are gay horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish, amphibians, pigs, dolphins (and our closest relatives, chimpanzees – but oh I forgot, you deny that too don’t you). Why should we as humans be any different from our other related animal compatriots. When you accept this fact, you must accept that it is immoral to oust one group of people because of their sexual preference. How does who Joe down the street sleep with have any bearing on your life or how you chose to live it? The Fact of the matter is that it has no impact, because quite frankly it is none of your business.
Fairytales Vs. Reality
If I don’t see it, it can’t be real. I don’t see Global warming so it can’t be real. If you continue to do nothing, you will see, and it will be real and it will be too late. Where is your moral imperative? In an era of consequences, you face a choice between what is right and what is easy. You will create an apocalypse and it will be of our making because unless I’m wrong there are no laws absolving people of their personal responsibility. When the worst comes will you blame a vengeful god? I’ll tell you now I and future generations will be blaming your lack of responsibility over your own personal actions.
God will save us!
Really? I find it amusing that you think death is preferable to living, after all your choices are filling our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, turning entire countries and continents into desert lands and destroying the future for billions of people. God will not float down and make a dry oil well produce more oil. He won’t reach down and lift the people of Manhattan to higher ground. No hand-outs of extra oxygen. Blind faith will get you killed.
You have the power to effect a global change, I advise you to stop it.
