ReplyDeleteI love it when someone finds relevant scripture to challenge the zealots with. What is sad is to see a once pristine landscape ravaged by the greed of those who had no concern for its beauty. I have been to Central City, Kentucky
which is located in the Muhlenburgh County of the song by John Denver. The place will never be the same again - And, the credit goes to Peabody Coal Company.
Yet, I assure you that everyone of those miners was at church on Sunday morning.

Ron,
ReplyDeleteSantorum's statement that Obama was putting the environment ahead of man was a "fake theology", it appears his is the fake theology after reading these bible verses.
(someone else dug this up, not me)
Now I find an article about the Pope, you know the dude in Rome, the guy who can (according to legend) talk to God, anywho the pope gathered an auditorium full of ambassadors from all over the world and told them to get busy with the agreements and plans to stop pollution and global warming. Santorum said (also a couple days ago) anyone claiming this kind of crap necessary was......was, I don't remember but it was bad, like liberal faggot communist antiamerican and hates people and stuff like that. Turns out it is the fucking Pope who is all those things. Rick, can you say that and not get alter-boyed.
ReplyDeleteAnyone can talk to 'God.' The tricky part is getting him to talk to you. ; )
