DENIERS GO AGAINST GOD

  
        Hurricane Sandy batters the East Coast, wildfires burn uncontrollable in Colorado, constant snow storms and flooding in the Midwest, destructive tornados in Oklahoma and in the south, devastating droughts in the southwest and list goes on and on. Is this the future that man is creating?  Does it have to be this way? Would GOD think this was okay or would he be outraged?  After all, man is destroying his creation.

          Religious people fight against gay marriage and abortion rights sighting scriptural verses that spell out that these acts are against GOD.  But at the same time, the bible states in the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth, Genesis1:1.   So, GOD created the earth and man is destroying his creation.  Where is the outrage? Are we worshipping the same GOD?

           I do understand it when the religious right says that the gay lifestyle and abortions go against GOD but at the same time, they can’t say those acts are against GOD while ignoring the first line in the same Bible. It plainly states GOD created the heavens and the earth.  No ambiguity, no misinterpretation, no foolishness.  Not protecting the environment goes against GOD.   

          Is there a list that enables man to determine what takes priority?  Is the environment on this list?  If it is not on the list, then why is it not?  Man continues to die in environmental tragedies throughout the world every day.

          Maybe we are committing suicide. There are fires that killed people. The polar ice caps continue to melt raising the sea levels and thus killing people.   The gulf’s waters are warmer resulting in more intense hurricanes that kill people. And because of the warmer water that now extends as far north as New England, there will be more hurricanes in New York City. And because of the warmer atmosphere, we can expect more devastating tornados in Kansas. Where is the outrage?   

          So maybe damaging the Earth is not a high priority. Christian Evangelicals and religious people fight to deny a woman’s right to choose. They fight to save gay people from internal damnation but suicide, they say nothing. A warming planet due to climate change caused by humans can kill us all.  Gay or straight, Christians or non-Christians, men or women, black, brown, yellow or white, everyone.  A warming planet will wipe out the Human Race far more that abortions rights or gay marriage will. But religious fanatics only see what is in front of them and refuse to see what humans are doing to the earth. Where is the outrage?

          Yes, women reproductive rights are now. Yes, gay people right to marry is now.  And yes, global warming and climate change should be now.  Consequently, religious people can’t see the looming catastrophe of global warming and climate change.  Did God give us humans the ability to learn and understand science?  As religious people try to stop a woman’s right to choose or a gay person’s right to get married, people are dying.  Humans are destroying God’s creation –the Earth. Therefore, do deniers of global warming and climate change go against GOD?  Yes.
